It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak?

Thank you Star. I thought he was kinda cute too. How are you feeling today? How come we have not gotten to see "baby" in the recent photos of you? How is "baby" doing? Have you decided on a final name? Sorry, I am feeling like the Inquirer today! LOL

Well, if I could find the original Jetsons, I'd be watching them now. The last one I ever saw was some "modern day" version of the Jetsons. You could tell George and Astro were not the same.

Good Morning Ma! Sorry I didn't make it back to the Canteen last night. I fell asleep. Items of note from Drudge are all detailed on his website - Rathergate, 3 presidential debates planned, and the Secret Service hunting down partisans intent on doing our President harm. Grrr!
Need some sunshine today in Alaska?
