    [Funny] Text messaging codes for seniors (and older techs)

    ATD - At the Doctor's
    BFF - Best Friends Funeral
    BTW - Bring the Wheelchair
    BYOT - Bring Your Own Teeth
    CBM - Covered by Medicare

    DWI - Driving While Incontinent
    OMG - Ouch, My Gout!
    FWBB - Friend with Beta Blockers
    FWIW - Forgot Where I Was
    FYI - Found Your Insulin
    GGPBL - Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low
    GHA - Got Heartburn Again
    HGBM - Had Good Bowel Movement
    IMHO - Is My Hearing-Aid On?
    LMDO - Laughing My Dentures Out
    LOL - Living on Lipitor
    LWO -Lawrence Welk's On
    OMMR - On My Massage Recliner
    OMSG - Oh My! Sorry, Gas
    ROFL...CGU - Rolling on the Floor Laughing...Can't get Up!
    TTYL - Talk to You Louder
    WAITT - Who Am I Talking To?
    WTFA - Wet the Furniture Again
    WTP - Where's the Prunes

    I didn't know some of these and I am 26.

    Now its morning and I am sober I realise that it was meant as a joke. I think I will use $5 for an idiot test. Will let you know the result.

    It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual.

      ITIHML-I think I hurt myself laughing.
      I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

          Why do they call it common sense?

          If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                    So that's what those letters are that I see used in e-mails and texts ?
                    Well , that's good to know , I thought I had problems with my computer and my phone not displaying correctly,
                    or was it my eyesight going . I forgot which it was .

                    God grant me the serenity to accept stupid people , the courage to not waste my time and energy on them , and the wisdom to know that I cannot fix STUPID .

                          I taught my mom to text (FYI: I don't know all the acronyms either). She would type the funniest stuff and I found myself replying LOL. I couldn't figure out why she always replied, "I love you too, baby". I asked her what she thought LOL meant. "Well it means Lots Of Love, of course." She wasn't too happy when she found out I've been laughing at her all this time.

                          One day I came home from work and she said:

                          "Look! I got bling!" (she kept shaking her head from side to side)

                          You don't know how funny that sounds until you hear your 70+ year old mother say that. When I finished wiping the tears from my eyes from laughing, she told me dad bought her a sparkly pair of earrings and that's why she was shaking her head to show me. ROFL!
                          Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
