BOM = Block of the Month
|
I use to be a top notch speller, only school subject I was good at, at 66 not so much. If I can't think of how to spell correctly, I change to a word I can spell. I don't mind the short cuts, keeps my mind sharp. Lots of changes in my 66 years on this earth, just more.

I don't mind them, but struggle with SIL. Is that Sister-in-law, or Son-in-law. I did enjoy being MOB - Mother of the Bride!

I do believe this the way of the world no more writting notes to each others, some young people can not spell or make change, have you been to the market lately and they enter the wrong amount into the computer and you have to stand there, tell them what they have to give you back, then they have to call the manager because they still not sure.

FMQ is free motion quilting. i knew that one!
i keep thinking when i see YAY that it stands for something. nope, just not spelled correctly. it should be the word YEA!! |
What does PIF mean? I know some of them but not that one.
Never mind- I just read the message with the code breakers. I use that term often and should have figured it out. |
