Gness Boobs Again

[gness]

I`m not brilliant with texts and text speak.
I have an elderly relative in a care home who will be ninety next month and we have been discussing how to celebrate her birthday. Last night I received a text from her Grandson which read......Just to let you know we have all agreed to dnr for Granny.
I replied.......That`s lovely. She`ll enjoy that. Let me know where and when.
This morning I am informed that dnr does not mean dinner...it means...do not resuscitate. Oh bums!!!!!

[tonyav]

Oh dear.

[ChuckFickens]

Probably shouldn't..... but

LOL.

[B00]

i'd assume the same.

Gotta say, that's not a nice message to send is it? Bit cold!

[seadogg]

So its Nil by Mouth then!

[B00]

so dinner is obviously off then?

(sorry!)

[gness]

Sounds a bit cold but I`m a distant relative....very distant now I guess...and I had been missed off the loop saying she was ill.

[gness]

Well, there is always the wake Boo.

[marden40]

oooopps......this reminds me of the tale of the mother texting to her son...."just letting you know your gran died this morning LOL"........she thought lol was "lots of love"........

[gness]

Lord Marden! That`s as bad.

Many moons ago when I worra lass and worked in the telephone exchange, DNR stood for 'disputed no reply'. If peeps couldn't get a reply from somebody and thought the line could be faulty, they contacted the operator to test it.

(Just thought I'd throw in that bit of useless info).

I do hope the old girl makes it to 100. <thumbs up>

[tonyav]

Doh, I thought the thread title said gness has got her boobs out again.

[gness]

No. Safely tucked away tony. I`m in enough bother without getting arrested.

[tonyav]

LOL.

[petal54]

always as well to keep your sense of humour when under fire,certainly with my family!

[Tilly2]

I thought LOL meant Lots of Love! What does it mean?

[ChuckFickens]

It can mean lots of love (and in the situation described I'd assume it did mean that) but it generally means laugh out loud.

[petal54]

laugh out loud

[tenrec]

laugh out loud

[tenrec]

doh

[Tilly2]

Oh. What other abbreviations do I need to know?
