Thank you, Umm I think the other one I saw was WTF. I believe it stands for what the *uck. But was not sure. And I dont want to assume that is what it means and reply when I have no idea what they are talking about.

Lost, wonderfull question, I had trouble too. I had often said "Been there, done that", but to see BTDT I drew a blank, (smile) Did anyone mention ODAT, = One Day At A Time. Of course SR is sober recovery RA is tricky, I have seen it used for "recoverying alcoholic ", but I worry someone might take it for "rageing alcoholic. PC was used one day, in that thread it meant Politically Correct, probably an easy one , but not for me on that day. Keep coming back, I am so glad you found us here on SR, this is the greatest site ever. Rember when reading, take what you can use and leave the rest.

Chy, I love the list, will keep it, but I will misplace it of course, so when need it I can't find it. I do think IMO we should keep these to a minimum, as we have sometimes over 100 visitors, might scare them off if new to a computer too.
