No offense Mrsg, but the El Cortez is well known in DT circles as the ELCO.

Hi, you also often see things like LMAO or LOL etc. sites like netlingo.com are very useful if you aren%26#39;t familiar with %26#39;textspeak%26#39;.!!

bump----bring up my post

this one was confusing to me for a long time.

it took me a loooong time to figure out what DH %26amp; DW meant. i just always assume it means ';designated hubby/wifey'; *LOL* but i suppose ';dear'; or ';damn'; works just as well.
