I can't figure out what OT means, (I always used OT for occupational therapy) or why I see 96 alot. Maybe someone can help me with that, too.

Just guessing that OT means off topic...and 96 means topic is sexual in nature.

OW/OM/OP other woman, other man, other person

Mil Bil Fil... mother in law, father in law, etc etc.

d - daughter, L - lawyer,

I might be wrong but I think OT is "off topic"... I'm a hockey fan and I keep thinking it's "over time"...

I'm not sure about 96, but it seems to be some warning that things are a bit smutty... I go straight for those ones...;-)

LoL I thought was "Lots of love", but is actually "laughing out loud".
IMHO "in my honest opinion". There are variaitions of this.
LMAO "laughing my *ss off"...
and my personal fave...
PYOA - "protect your own *ss".

Hopes this helps... still looking for 96 explanation.

    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...
