I only know the abbreviations because I had to ask what they were myself...

DD: Dear Daughter... also DS (Dear Son), DH (Dear Husband)...

PM: Private Message

TMI: Too much Information

IMO: In My opinion

TIA: Thanks In Advance

... I know there's more, but I still don't know what all of the other abbreviations stand for:) LOL!! (Laugh Out Loud :) )

ADDED: Oh, I totally HATE The "D" for Dear... I think it is ridiculous!
