Hey Familio

Believe it or not, there are some listed there that even I didn't know...  LOL  Just a side note, for those who are uncomfortable with the "A" portion of some of those, (LMAO, PITA, ROFLMAO), there is another acronym for those which some people use, myself included.  They replace the "A" with a "B" for a more family-friendly type of expression.

HTH
