What does LOL mean? You all keep using it in messages on the forums! Sorry for being really thick - put it down to my age! (or the fact that I can't sleep at nights!)

Hi Pat,
Don't worry, we all have to learn these shorthands sometime!
LOL = Laughs Out Loud
ROFL = Rolls On Floor, Laughing
LMAO = Laughing My A**e off
You'll also come across
BTW = By The Way
FWIW = For What It's Worth
And a few others. Just ask if you get stuck, but once you get in the swing of it, many of them are easy to work out by their context!

Many thanks John - and there was me thinking it was "lots of love"!!! (but couldn't quite get the context!)

Lots of Love is exactly what it means with some of the nut cases we have.
Sorry that should be wonderful people

Well thank you. At last John has been censored by his very clever rude word sniffing software!
I am also grateful for the little glossary. I think I knew about LOL, but the others were a mystery to me.
