I forgot to ask when I introduced myself - what do all the abbreviations everyone uses mean? I think someone tried to give an Excel file but my Excel is too old to download the file. I'm not about to spend money now to get more software. Thanks.

At the beginning I also had problems with the abreviations on this board.
One day I came across DOG
dear old granny..............?
ditch over grain.............häääääää?
dear other gender..........?
I then figured that the member was simply talking about her dog..........wuff, wuff :oops:

Donna thank you for posting the link to quiltbus for the terms. I have been wondering what the heck some of the abbreviations really meant - I could come up with some but those didn't make sense for quilting LOL.
When I first joined another message board people were using DH for their husbands I assumed, but I couldn't understand why they all referred to them as DUMB HUSBANDS, and their children, etc - of course it never occurred to me to replace the DUMB with Darling.
