I was watching Ellen yesterday and she does this thing called �What the heck are these kids talking about?� She has viewers write in the words of songs and she tries to translate. Well yesterday, someone had mentioned something they saw on a text message that they didn�t understand so she decided to tell us what they stand for as far as the kids go, but how they stand for something else when you reach a more, say mature, age. These are hers:
LOL
Kids = Laughing out loud
Older = Low. On Lipitor
BFF
Kids = Best friend forever
Older = Back from Florida
IC
Kids = I See
Older = I Can�t
OMG
Kids = Oh my goodness!
Older = Ouch! My gallbladder!
I decided I would add a few of my own. Fell free to join in. Just add them to the comments.
BRB
Kids = Be right back
Older = Bowels really backed-up!
ROFL
Kids = Rolling on floor laughing
Older = Really obnoxious! Flatulence loud!
AOL
Kids =AOL Instant Messenger
Older = Arthritis is miserable
AAK
Kids = Asleep at keyboard
Older = Alzheimer�s already knocking

Cosmic�s �Nothing Learned is Ever Wasted�
Remember the Ginsu (Insert registered circle thingy here.) Knife that came out in the 70�s? We were told that these were the knives that were sooooo good. Well, watch the commercial.
Guess where the name Ginsu came from. Two marketing men in Warwick, Rhode Island. Yup. So much for truth in advertising. The next thing you know, they�ll be saying Michael Jackson isn�t even white. Can�t trust anyone anymore.
To make matters worse, in researching this, I found a wonderful blog called Miss Ginsu. Are you ready for this? Not only does the company mislead you into thinking that they are from Japan when in reality, they are made in the Midwest, they are being really picky.
They have informed Miss Ginsu that Ginsu is a registered trademark and she must prove she has a right to use it. Please. How mean. She is a blogger. Okay, so she is a blogger that has a wonderful site and you should go read her because I am sure a ton of people do.
Her site is all about food. What�s not to love. I like her already and have bookmarked her to read more later. But for goodness sake, it isn't as though she is selling knives! She has put a disclaimer (don't you hate it when you have to do that?)on her site lest someone think she is selling hot knives on the corner. Go see and tell her cosmic sent ya.
I have to run. I have my bone density test at 8:00am so I have to be up by 6. Have a good one.
