Txting 4 cnyrs

Somebody had the bright idea to hold a class today at Limpdik Park to teach seniors how to text. I think this might be a bad idea. When you combine these itty bitty keyboards with the ridiculous abbreviations that texting requires....heck one minute your granny may be sending you her recipe for peach cobbler and the next minute, Homeland Security is breaking through her roof and arresting her for showing how to build a bomb!

It's bad enough that an entire generation doesn't know how to spell, and doesn't know proper grammar. But to drag poor old people into this is just wrong.

Can you just imagine it? Would you rather read:
"Yo,m dwn wit sum gr8 phews 4 din"
or:
"I'm happy to be meeting my great-nephews for dinner."

For those of you who can't leave this nonsense to the youngsters and just HAVE to text, here is a list of abbreviations you may find helpful:

ATD	At The Doctor’s
BFF	Best Friend Farted
BTW	Bring The Wheelchair
BYOT	Bring Your Own Teeth
CBM	Covered By Medicare
CGU	Can’t Get Up
CGIU	Can’t Get IT Up
CUATSC	See You At The Senior Center
DWI	Driving While Incontinent
FWB	Friend With Betablockers
FWIW	Forgot Where I Was
FYI	Found Your Insulin
GGPBL	Gotta Go; Pacemaker Battery Low!
GLKI	Gotta Go; Laxative Kicking In
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.
PIMP	Pooped In My Pants
ROFL & ICGU	Rolling On the Floor Laughing And I Can’t Get Up
SGGP	Sorry; Gotta Go Poop
TTYL	Talk To You Louder
WAITT	Who Am I Talking To?
WTFA	Wet The Furniture Again

I'd be happy to give credit where credit is due, but I've yet to see anyone admit to compiling this list.

Oh well.....I must go...MOWIH. (meals on wheels is here!)
