While were at it why dont explain all the other abbreviations used. Some I figure out some I dont!

In the American League it is designated hitter. Let us not go too far beyond that.

For a while, I thought everyone was travelling with DH, and I thought he was dang lucky to travel so much and to so many places. Very rarely did I see, DW... so I remained confused for awhile.

What are some of the other ways of stating the other?
Mine is mfo. Some may know what that is. Others won't have a clue.

ttt (always sounded like tsk tsk to me till I realized that it meant "to the top of the post".

And I always think of the 1950's song that began "Dear Heart, wish you were here, at my front door.................

More commonly, LW (Lovely Wife - - or if you want to get beaned over the head... the "Little Woman")...

Best wishes,

Domestic Helper.

There are many Filipinos working as domestic helpers in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Europe.

It seems to be for dear husband - and if so it is the most toe-curling piece of american sentimentality yet.
