I am trying to teach my dad how to communicate online and he thinks that we all speak in a different language.  
So, if you would be so kind as to help me with a list of different acronyms I would so appreciate it.  
And he has a wonderful sense of humor, and nothing offends him. (I will be printing this for him)  
But please contain any freaky stories or naughty pictures of me to yourself. 😉
