i dont no wot u r talking abt.

[anonemouse 1]

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.

No rant. Just wanted to post.

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.

yummie Marjon .. Thanks That Recipe Sounds Delish! I Will Have To Try It This Weekend. It Looks Kind Of High In Fat Though, Is It Band Friendly? Will It Make My Tickler To Go Higher?
