Pattywlpn, I just noticed that you were from northeastern Florida, that is my dream location, what kind of jobs are there available. Are you getting ready for Gustav?

there is no such thing as a dumb question.

Oh hell, I always thought DH meant ....Dead Husband.......sorry. that was in poor taste but my excuse it that...I worked all day.LOL.....

I don't know why people use the terms "DH" (dear husband) and "DW" (dear wife). I think the abbreviations "MH" (my husband) and "MW" (my wife) sound less confusing to those who are not well-versed in internet shorthand.

Thank you to all who have answered. I was not brought up with text messages and still have to figure out some of it. I really appreciate when people actually write out much of their message rather than use text shortcuts.

I see many posts in some very poor English. Sometimes I understand it is because English is second language (ESL) but other times it seems that basic communication skills are lacking.

Much of nursing involves good communication. I hope that in our rush to learn we have not lost our ability to convey information.
