Dummy!
 
Hello Bods,

How daft do I feel!
I thought the stars you got related to your time as a member on this site.
Now I read it's due to how many posts you thread. By the way I'm having difficulty working out all the abbreviations used can anyone enlighten me please?

(worked out IMO, but thats about all)
How crap am I.........very! :D :D :D

There goes my 'lots of love' theory which is one I had - I thought a cheesy grin indicated this not lol. :D

I use it for both so those on the receiving end have to work out whether I am feeling amorous or giggly! lol:D

Simone Jan 20th 2004 11:30 am

oh,, never heard of the lots of love one before. But it is a good one though.
But I'm sure most people use it for laughing... and also :D

Recently had a discussion on this forum regarding abbr.
I hate them so try not to use them, unless you are `on the ball` it makes reading posts quite difficult

Thanks so much
 
Big thanx to OzT, Pollster, Simone 82 & Mairi & Chris. I did like the abbreviations, nice to know what I'm reading!! :D

I especially liked PMSL as I frequently :D

..........and sandra, I note your point and will try not to PUO by using them too much :D.....only kidding:D :D :D

Cheers guys.
