A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Sorry to be really thick. I don't post often on here but read it at every spare moment as I am going through the agonizing process of WAITING!!

Please, kindly let me in on what 'LOL' means. I know you all use it, perhaps because you know each other well and maybe it should be obvious to me but I have been racking my brains for weeks and can't work it out. I'm a bit shy and have wanted to ask for ages but thought maybe it will become clear but 'eureka' hasn't happened. I have, therefore, taken the plunge and possible humiliation of having to ask.

Please be easy on me?

And empathy to all who are waiting and waiting. It's driving me mad and from what I read here, I know I am not alone.

Cheers.

Thanks anyway.

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

PS - now able to understand much better and will potentially be laughing out loud after the G &T I got myself after posting my dumb question and your 2 minute reply.

Cheers.

You have cheered up my evening.

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

What's PS then?? As per your suggestion - Not at that stage for a few decades I hope. Want to be gone long before that scenario!! G & T's (in moderation of course - up to 14 units per week per female - best enjoyed while surfing british expats.com!!) Lot of laughs in the meantime one hopes!!

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Thats good enough for me!

Women beware.......I used to work for a Pharmaceutical company and they had a drug for Stress something Incontinence Urine Disorder. It affects a lot of woman, I cant remember the exact figures but its a lot higher than anyone would think.

Sorry to put that bit in!

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Probably apt in some way or another!!??
Despite whatever age we are - why not?? "LOL" 'I can use it now!! Let's have some more!! (abbreviations that is).

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Hells bells and buckets of blood ( my mums way of saying a well known expletive - it highlighted it to **** when typed it directly) Youv'e done it to me again!! ROFL???

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Should that be HBABOB???

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??

Time line is

Applied MODL 136 mARCH 21 2005

Got ack and file no. 18 May 2005 and sent meds straight away (had them done and ready - mind you, sent by royal mail's so called signed for) pcc'S sent with application. Probably worth a 'lol' (how am I doing?!!!!!!! )

now wait etc etc!!!

If not so tired tonight (hey could use 'TATT' - term used every day in my profession = have a guess at that - I hear it every day)

I'm having fun

Cheers

Too TATT to try and work it out.

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??

I also laughed my fat a**e off and fell off my chair laughing when I read this (pointless) thread...

Keeping me smiling whilst I'm waiting.

By the way, for what it's worth I fell off [my] chair laughing out loud and pi**ed myself laughing :cool:

A while ago I was also stumped by what this might mean and Googled "LOL". I found this fascinating link on PC World. NetLingo It gives a lot of info on Netiquette too. A whole new world has opened for me ;-)

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Dont' worry Kitty4, I had to ask my 12 yr old daughter to explain what it meant. I too thought it would click but it didn't and was too shy to ask on the forum!

Re: A dumb question-can't hold off asking any longer??
 

Not exactly PC (Politically Correct), but SWMBO is another good one for the guys out there!

SWMBO (pronounced "swimbo") = She Who Must Be Obeyed :D
