Since I am recently divorced I can relate to anything except Dear Husband. I do have a Dear Daughter but think Dingy Daughter works very well too.

Has it gotten down to where we are too busy to even spell out a word? Edie

Yes, that's where it is now. I wasn't happy with it either until my gdtr (granddaughter ???) taught me to text on my cellphone & now I want to use whatever shortcut I can find. LOL.
I love your OAO.

How about ABC - that is used when I make minute steaks or cube steaks - ABC - already been chewed! Or NCM - non compos mentis - Latin for Not Totally With it!!!! You know, a sandwich shy at a picnic, one fry short of a Kid's Meal, etc.
Have a good day. At least I think us older ones have better initials to our shortening of words. At least you have to think a little bit in the process - Oh, Gum is also ABC! Edie

I'm in agreement with Edie...words are less likely to be misunderstood.

After losing my daughter 6 yrs. ago & then husband recently, I decided there is really very little that's very important. Too bad we don't learn that earlier in life. Would save ourselves a lot of grief & working so hard. My priorities now are my 2 sons & g-kids. Next comes my quilting which has been my therapy.
