            this could be a helpful thread to lots of people! when i first started on forums, i had NO idea what "DD, DH, DS" meant. i still don't use the terms cus i think they're kinda goofy. no offense, but i'm sure there's some taken.

            dear daughter - really? dear husband?

            i guess i'm evil cus my virgin forum mind would've NEVER figured those out without someone telling me!

                          At the risk of sounding like my mind is in the gutter, I have been slightly taken aback by the acronym "DCK". For example, "should I terminate this DCK?" LOL! Maybe we should do away with this one! hehe!
