If you have teenagers, it behooves you to learn the lingo. : )
Or join Facebook. I've joined - as have many of my friends - all old people
like me! It's quite a phenomenon - sad to say, I actually love it!
Now what would Percy say about THAT???
But, besides keeping up with "friends," it's a great way to stalk your
college aged kid. : )

David, as another person at sea over contemporary American acronyms
(ROFLMAO? Po-Mo moment?), I wonder if you could ship a crate of Geritol this
way? (There's no such beverage in Dutch pharmacies -- you see how far behind
the Dutch are when it comes to health care.)

PS There are web resources to help the computer-speak illiterate. Take a
look at Wiktionary.
