omg is oh my god

thats all i can think of ... maybe u knew those already. sorry i couldnt help u more! :-)

Thanks, eamor, and also for letting me I am not alone!

when I first joined I couldn't figure out what DH ment and I still dont know what BFP is. But DH is dear husband (though I don't know who really talks like that) so my guess would be that maybe DF might be dear fiance or something, but I couldn't tell you for sure. You're definatly not alone though.

Thanks for the input, Rmoody! I was wondering about that one, also!
