    Hi, well im about a week new and sometimes I read a post and get completely lost on some of the abbreviations! Im not sure if there is like a certain spot on the site where they are listed, I looked and didnt see one....So maybe you gals can help me and other fellow bees that are new, know what some of the abbreviations stand for...

    Post any you can think of that you use often on here!!

    THANKS!!!Wink
