    I know what some of the abbreviations people use are but not all where can I find a list. I assumed that DH means "dear husband" or DSIL "Dear sister in law" don't know PM, always guessing but would like to know.

    Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa. Go to search at the top and type in Abbreviations and you will get many lists (smile).

    Also - PM's are private, where things posted in topics are public.
