I hate it when people post just to post.....

I'll admit, I'll shorten some phrases into acronyms, like "IOW" (in other words) and "IMO" (in my opinion), but I try not to use the ever-annoying "UR" and "R" or "2."

Ugh! Lauren! You're killing me! haha. No, I use IMHO every now and again. Fair enough.

:crying:

Oh, and NMU is: not much, you?

For the most part the abbreviations don't bother me.. but U and UR drive me nuts. I instantly think I'm chatting with a 10 year old, who doesn't know how to spell. FYI, IMO, BTW.. don't really care so much.

Just my 2 cents, because I wanted to post.

I don't mind things like IRL, IMHO, BRB, TTYL, but I have to agree with Laura, every word of every sentence does not need to be abbreviated. My 13 year old niece does that, and it makes me crazy. I've even asked her that if she's going to send me an e-mail or text message, to PLEASE spell out the words, because first off, I can only figure out about half of what she's saying, and also because I need to be reassured that she CAN spell things out IRL, and that she's not going to be hindered IRL down the road getting through college and then landing jobs, and keeping them. It's scary to think that her generation is learning to do this so much so that it's first nature instead of second nature.

Wow, Rant/off.

But, I love those phone commercials, where the kid is speaking in "text" and the mom is like, What? That's not a word!!!

FRIED TRIPE

2 pkgs. beef tripe

4 to 5 eggs

1 tbsp. water

Bread crumbs

Boil tripe for 30 minutes, then drain Water off. Dip into beaten egg, then roll each piece into bread crumbs and fry in hot grease until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges or Tomato sauce, catsup or chili sauce.

As far as I can tell from this recipe, you are supposed to boil 2 packages of beef tripe for 30 minutes in one tablespoon of water. Must be small "packages" of beef tripe.

I'm sure you'll agree, this sounds good. But then anything fried in hot grease is good.

The abbreviations I Like are DD and DH. We can't keep track of everyone's DD or DH's name, but we know who we are talking about.

My DD make me a grandma last night. It was the most beautiful experience!:biggrin::rolleyes2:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
