A Newbie Question

Do we have special acronyms used in this site? The only thing I have seen so far is PDoc and BP, that's easy to figure out. But I haven't read a ton of posts yet either.

I use WTF and OMG a lot, but maybe you already know those as they aren't BP related!
Some people here HATE acronyms - especially when used with texting shorthand. But, whatever works is my motto! :)

If there is a post that is going down the list and you want to make sure people see it, you bump it by adding a post or just saying BUMP in the comment to bump it to the top. :)

Hi Sammy Sue,

I think it means as a question gets older it falls down the list. So if someone thinks it's a valuable comment, but have nothing to add, they just say "bump". Meaning it's at the top of the discussion list again.

After reading this stuff, that's the way I figure it to be.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
