OK - I've searched this site and can't find anything to help me with all the abbreviations used here. I can figure a lot of them out, but can't figure all of them, and so I can't even understand many of the posts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I don't even know where to post this plea! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Is there somewhere I can go to get the magic decoder ring so I can understand all the abbreviations?

Happy NY, fletch!

I'm sure this will get you started...I infringed on one of the grandparent MBers posts!

Best wishes and many prayers for your being here!

In Christ's Name!
