Acronyms: Those are the strange looking words like: HAGD (have a good day) or LOL (laughing out loud) that you very frequently see used on the boards and in emails.
 
A very important request from us to you - - - Please do not make a habit of using lots of these on the Menopause Board! We menopausal women are much too easily confused to be able to decipher them!!        Thanx!
