  I tried to figure out a way to do this anonymously, because I really hate looking stupid. Well, this stupid anyway! But you see, I'm not really much of an internet person. This is the only forum I've ever posted on and I've never really learned all the lingo and, and, and, well, a lot of other really good reasons I can't think of right now. Oh yeah, I'm old too! Well anyhow, this is driving me nuts, so here goes:

  1. What the hell does LOL mean? Lots of Luck? Lots of Love? Lobster and Linguine? Lloyds of London? Lecherous Old Lunatic? Am I gettin' close? I recognized DILLIGAF as soon as I saw it, but this has got me stumped!

  2. How do you put a quote from another post in one of those neat little yellow boxes?

  Remember now, I'm old. So be kind!

  1. LOL=Laughing Out Loud

  2. When composing your message, click on the icon (little picture) in the frame area above the box where you type that is just to the right of the "smile"

  Hope this helps.

  For the longest time...the Computer's here at UTSA San Antonio didn't exactly show the 'tool bar' that people kept takling about...so if you don't see it on your computer ...dont' spazz out. One day i came to UTSA with my friend/roommate and all of a sudden a new 'tool' bar had showed up...he and i had never seen it before either. So if you don't see it on your computer...don't spazz out.~FS

  Thank you, thank you, Tatiana! I guess LOL doesn't stand for 'little old lady' after all. One of my favorites is TSTT (too soon to tell).
