Text message from Mom...
-
So my mom has recently learned to text message. She really likes to use a lot of emoticons in her texts. It's kinda cute if not a bit annoying, however this morning I received the following text from her: "Just letting you know that your grandfather is in the hospital again. LOL!" I thought, sheesh, that's a bit insensitive. Turns out that she thinks LOL stands for "Lots of Love". LOL! (BTW, grandpa is doing well :) )
-NP Never underestimate the creativity of the end-user.

My dad did this all the time. He did it for as long as I can remember, but I always assumed on first glance that it was "laugh out loud". Because I guess that's what I'm used to. "Your sister is at the hospital to have the baby, blood pressure is high right now. LOL Dad" "I saw the doc today and have to start treatment next week. LOL Dad"

Don't worry, those were GREAT times to be alive and kicking!

Behind the wicket! What's he doing playing cricket in hospital? Shouldn't he be resting?

Shouldn't this be posted in Q&A? Either that or it's time to buy a new keyboard. ;P
