Thread: after all this time..

Thanks for the welcomes! Is there a legend anywhere on the forum for all of the different abbreviations/acronyms (LD, DJ, MILD, etc) that people use? I find a lot of them intuitive or discernable based on context, but it took me a second reading a post just now to figure out that SP means "sleep paralysis" and FA stands for "false awakening". (In my line of work IRL, we use SP to indicate "state police" and FA for "financial assistance". ) This might be a shot in the dark, but if there were a chart or a list somewhere it would definitely come in handy now and then.

Lol, you get "financial assistance" in dreams

Yeah there's an acronym list in the Tutorials!

Excellent - thank you!

I know, try to keep work and personal life separate right? On the same topic, we use DV as an acronym for "domestic violence"

So what job do you currently have?

And btw I forgot to say you can change the "Lurker (now member)" title by going into your User CP and the edit profile.

User CP is along the blue bar just under your PM section.

I work for 2-1-1, a hotline/directory number for health and human services information. People call in all kinds of situations for info about agencies/resources available in their area, topics such as affordable housing, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, child care, legal services, volunteer opportunities, etc. That's the tried-and-true shortest explanation possible for what we do.

I did see in one of the introductory threads that you can change your title.. I guess I'd just rather "earn" a different title by diving in and posting!

Welcome to DV, enjoy your stay.
