[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 521721, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome! I'll tell you a bit about the board... and you can tell us a bit more about your son... fair deal? Most of this board is split by "topic"... Parent Emeritus is for "old kids" (adult children) issues. Early Childhood is for "little kids". The only two that are not obvious are Watercooler and General Parenting. Watercooler is for anything that is not about parenting... it's the virtual "watercooler" where we gab while we "take a break"... you'll find everything there from humour, to household-tip questions to ... well, everything under the sun. And General... is where you will probably spend most of your time... by default, it's about "school-aged kids". But you're welcome to stick your nose into any forum and/or thread that interests you. Acronyms and such... <tee hee> Welcome to the great mysteries of the world! Yes, we pull the short-form thing lots around here. Some are pretty standard if you do IM and/or texting, Know what I mean?? (Know what I mean? is texting shorthand for know what i mean). been there done that - been there, done that.
