OMG DB (oh my goodness Demon Blaster)...
I ❤️ this thread!
Was ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing) while reading. THX (thanks) for that.
Wow that is so much work. I think I'll just stick to words 😊
Thankyou for EMDR my friend was telling me about that this week and couldn't remember what it was called.
Just posting to keep this in my threads. So helpful!
❤ Nat

Umm just a thought... I've seen a few abbreviations for swear words on the forums... Do you want them too? In case someone is confused?
FFS... for f sake
WTF... What the f.
There are a fair few of these. I've been guilty of using WTF.

OMG DB (oh my goodness Demon Blaster)... Good version, I use God & other religious words as expressions, never disrespect for religion & have always known it as OH MY GOD, like that what you said)
I thought about the others like ffs etc but wasn't sure they'd allow it here cause of stronger swears but I could put some in separately then if they allow them I could add em aye
lol at too much work, nah not for me :D, I'll go the quicker way anytime:)
Thx again for input

Hadn't hear a couple of those so learning too. As for the MH one's a lot I'm learning. All good, like learning.
Q (Quercus) I'm hoping it's the one's you mentioned that we can't have here cause I slip the odd mild swear in but unusual they didn't show in email the post that I couldn't have published which I thought be the case, fair enough though and thx for input & time 🙂
Best all
