Many senior citizens are joining the younger generation and are texting and tweeting. However, the senior code is somewhat different that the one the younger crowd is using, for example:
ATD: At the doctor's
BTW: Bring the wheelchair
BYOT: Bring your own teeth
CBM: Covered by Medicare
CUASC: See you at senior center
DWI: Driving while incontinent
FWIW: Forgot where I was
FYI: Found your insulin
GGPBL: Gotta go, pacemaker battery low!
GHA: Got heartburn again
IMHO: Is my hearing-aid on?
LMDO: Laughing my dentures out
LWO: Lawrence Welk's on
ROFL . . . CGU: Rolling on floor laughing. . . Can't get up
TTYL: Talk to you louder
WAITT: Who am I talking to?

2 Quote of the week
Freedom and light have never been easy to attain or maintain. Since the War in Heaven, the forces of evil have used every means possible to destroy agency and extinguish light. The assault on moral principles and religious freedom has never been stronger. . . .
An ever-present danger to the family is the onslaught of evil forces that seem to come from every direction. While our primary effort must be to seek light and truth, we would be wise to black out from our homes the lethal bombs that destroy spiritual development and growth. Pornography, in particular, is a weapon of mass moral destruction. Its impact is at the forefront in eroding moral values. Some TV programs and Internet sites are equally lethal. These evil forces remove light and hope from the world. The level of decadence is accelerating.
