local jargon

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I've been here and there in this group and was too focused on solving my
problem to notice some of the "local jargon" that heirloom, Heather, Joan
Archer, et al use. I know what lol is...what the heck is the significance
of the opposing carets and is <g> like gee in gee whiz? If I'm too nosy,
kick my butt and send me home.

PS: I really enjoy the discussions and the information here is invaluable.
Thanks to all and especially Mart who has helped me many times.

Would I be wrong by interpreting "lol" with "laugh out loud"? Just a
thought, mind you.

Glad you like the chat in here Bart, of course plus the help the experts
give.
I see that you have had answers to your question and as others have said
welcome to the looney bin <g> it's one of the reasons I stay here even
though I run XP the place is so friendly and you don't get jumped on for
going OT (off topic) which we very often do.
Enjoy the ride <g>

I know most of the acronyms out there, no too hard to decipher if you let
your mind roam free. I guess it was the opposing carets that tripped my
trigger. Thanks for all the friendly replies!!

Hi Bart! :-)

I don't get here as often as I used to since I also now have W2K and XP, and
have been busy helping in some of the other newsgroups, but, I have to come
back and pop in now and then to visit my good friends here, and see what the
dust bunnies are up to. Plus, as I still have and use WinME, I come here
now and then to beg redemption for my poor system, or maybe the klutz behind
the keyboard with a slight case of hiccups between the ears. <g> 'Tis a
great group here, and the best experts there are for what ails ya. And, if
you're having one of 'those daze', a visit here will put things right
spit-spot. Guaranteed! ;o)

Now Mart....where is your "Support your local Nanny spirit?!?"

However.....I am not sure why they would play it at Christmas time..?? Is
it looked upon as a Christmas movie in the UK? Now me....I like the "Home
Alone..." movie series. I could watch them for eons and never tire. Just
like the 3 Stooges....real classics those.....they never grow stale!

You know the one that I can not abide any longer in the States, that we have
as the ultimate "classic" Christmas, down your throat movie, on just about
every channel at some point, starting on Thanksgiving Day, and running
through New Years Eve, thank you,......"It's a Wonderful Life!" Gah!!! I'll
take MP any day compared to that one.

Ahmmm...can we trade? I'll write our Embassy, you write yours.......world
peace...and all that, you know. ??

Since it would not be appropriate on here, I can't post a very funny joke
about a penguin.......it's, no doubt a spit-spot.

Wow, we go from a little question about acronyms, etc and we get to a
uproarious movie I love as well as HL does. I especially like the bit
about the "leg lamp". There must be 670 posts generated on this topic.
Whew! You guys!!

Actually, unless you own the domain, "nospamnet.com", you are wrong. Using
any domain name that you have not registered, or do not have the permission
of the registered owner to use, is wrong. Even if it doesn't exist today,
that only means that it is available to be registered; and somebody
registering that domain will be unpleasantly surprised by the spam awaiting
them because you used it without the authority to do so.

RFC 2606 describes some of the domains reserved for use, which are not to be
registered with the domain registrars:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html

Two of the ones which seem to be frequently used on NNTP servers are,
".invalid", a Top Level Domain (TLD); and, "example.com", a second level
domain. See the link for other examples. In your case, I would suggest,
"bsmart@nospamnet.invalid"; that would be a great improvement.

We told you it was a 'Looney Bin' <g>

And you can always expect a bonus with HL's tag lines. I've started bottling
them. I'm going to give them as Christmas presents:-
"HL's Bumper Book Of Tag Lines" - Now THAT would surely beat Mary P.

Lol!! Yea! I remember that one! My brother used to watch that, then go
and carefully approach my folks for a BB gun. They always said no. One
year, he spent Christmas with my mom's folks, and being as he was that
grandmother's favorite, he asked her for a BB gun for Christmas. He got it,
of course. But, when it came time for him to come home, my folks said it
had to stay at the grandparents house. He could not bring it home. Talk
about WWIII!!! Eventually, he was allowed to bring it home. All was well
until he shot me in the thigh with it only 6 inches away, and I got a
serious infection from the embedded BB. All gone. He never forgave me.
;o))
