straw hat Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 I need some help from you guys in educating and old man. I am new to this forum/blog type of communication. I have figured out most of the abbreviations but "lol" has me stumped. When I was young (a long time ago) us young men would often sign the bottom of our love letters to our girl friends with "lol". This stood for "lots of love". Now I may be slow but I figured out pretty quick that this is not what you guys were trying to say (either that or times have changed more than I thought!! HAHA). Some times it appears maybe to represent lots of luck or lots of laughs. Help! Signed; Lost and Confused Straw Hat

I didn't want to make a fool out of myself any worse than I already do. Good fishing! I agree with the "glad to be born" (before 1945).... But, I have a half a dozen granddaughters and text messaging is about all they do !!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want the full info on the abrv's (lol) ... you are going to have to talk to some one under the age of 30 ......
