Yes, but we still don't know what TCML stands for, do we?

I even googled it, and came up with
The Centre for Mediated Learning
Take Control of my Life (surely not?)
Test Configuration Markup Language
Thurmond Clarke Memorial Library

Nothing I'd use as a closing in a letter...

I always thought it meant "Lots of Luck", but I guess it could mean whatever one wants it to.!!!

Still no one has answered my question.
DH = Dear Husband?

Yes or No.
If not what does it stand for?

Generally DH = Dear Husband or Darling Husband, but occasionally may stand for an insult combining a slang term for a part of the male anatomy with the word for what sits on top of your neck.

I interpret it as Dear Husband or Darling Husband, or Damn Husband - - depending on the hour of the day and the day of the week.

LW is just as open to interpretation... is it the Lovely Wife, the Lousy Wife, or (this never fails to make me roll my eyes)... "the Little Woman"?

Gradyghost, Do I remember, "So round, so firm, so fully pack." Sure do. My mother used to tell me that her brother would tease her with that jingle when she was pregnant with me.

cmt, does IHASM mean I'm having a senior moment? That is the only thing I could think of. Do tell, please!

Thank you for the fun and informative posts!

cmt: Thank you for the informative link, particularly in view of your dislike of them (which I share).

Jocelyn_P: A thousand thanks for PEBCAK, which I am greatly tempted to use as a universal answer to trolls and people who ask whether they can visit five countries in 10 days...

Re other jargon (but not acronyms), how is "piccie" (meaning picture/photo) pronounced? Would it be like pixie, picky, or pitchy?

I hate the wrod "faboo" and was wondering whether you've all heard it much outside of Fodors.
