Teri- Not a perverbial "stupid question"- it took me a while to figure out what LOL meant- I finally figured it out late last year I think....it means "Laughing out Loud" (ha! unless I'm wrong-lol!). And then theres ROFL "rolling on floor laughing" and LMAO "laughing my ass off"....I'm sure there's a million others, but those are the ones I can think of off hand. So you're moving to CA, huh? Okay, now *here's* a stupid question.....where is Ft. Ord, again? I know I've heard of it, even seen it on the map, but can't remember where it is....I sympathize with you about having to be discreet...I think a few of us have to be here. You're right- your 13 yr old will understand soon enough. Glad to know you'll still be able to post!
