View Full Version : abbreviations
What on earth do they mean?
I know the basic ds, dd, dh, that sort of stuff. But what about the other stuff?
Now that I'm trying to post this, I can't remember the specific ones. They mystify me. I need to learn this language!

I felt the same way when I first came here
here are a few:
nak= nursing at keyboard
prr=painting red hinso, overstock from the children's clothing manufacturer, very popular fabric.
oht= one hand typing
i know there are more, but can't think them.
Oh, I never could NAK. Too much boobs, too squirmy a baby.

This isn't an abbreviation, but a lot of people wonder what Ottobre is.
Ottobre Design (http://www.ottobredesign.com) is a pattern magazine, with primarily children's patterns.
When Carolinerenee and I met in Vegas, she brought her magazine with her. What beautiful things I saw in there!
