AA (aka Acronyms Annonymous)

I am starting a new self help group and I will be the first to join - my life is drowning in acronmys. Acronyms are everywhere, in every social group, no gender, no age, no creed, no colour will divide it, it knows no limits. In the world of online technology it is rampant, scientists have grappled with it for years, as has the medical professions.  When I hear an acronym my eyes roll back in my head and I black out.... acronym overload - it is the latest  21st century health crisis to hit our shores.

As a child, my mother would spell instead of whisper when she didn't want me to understand what she was saying. As an adult when people (still my mother) would spell things to me in front of my children  I would still be unable to catch on....I suffer from verbal spelling dyslexia (aka VSD -  lol), a little heard of syndrome, that renders me useless to the onslaught of letters spoken - this has compounded my acronym allergy. What scares me most about this condition is that it has skipped a generation and my children all seem adept at the modern use of acronyms that is prevalent in the Gen Y group. So now I seem to be sandwiched between generations that speak the same lingo...

The diagnosis is dire and there is no known cure at this point just constant medication with chocolate, caffine and the occassional glass of wine. (Doseage is at your discretion and may need to be experimented with to see what combination best suits you). GL and GMAB!

    Rules to Blog

    - No targeting or personal attacks on individuals or groups, businesses etc.
    The idea is to let of steam in a general way and it is more about things that irk and irritate rather than attacking and destroying.
     
    - Gloom free zone
    :- the intention is to have a positive result not a negative one and perhaps turn a difficult situation into one of humor and seeing the lighter side of these issues, e.g. a problem shared
    is a problem halved.

    - No swearing or suggestive comments
    (I am aware that this is becoming a fuzzy line, but this will ultimately be up
    to pleasemissme.com to decide).

    - Any other rules that
    pleasemissme.com see fit to add as they are
    needed.

    - All submissions for the blog will be checked before release.

    - legal disclaimers (because we have to)
