Does anyone else have problems with some abbreviations used? What is ALF? Some I can figure out, some I don't have a clue?

Thanks for having the courage to ask. I've been on here 5 months and at first it was like "The what??" I also did not know MIL, DH, SIL, DD or any of those at all. Hope this makes you feel a little better.

MKM, I know what you mean. When I first came on board here I was wondering why so many seniors were moving to Alabama [AL], New Hampshire [NH] and Illinois [IL] not realizing those were abbreviations for Assisted Living, Nursing Home, and Illinois.... [sigh]

I really wish admin would make that information easier to find. And would be very helpful to those new to this site. It should be near the top on every page.
