P911 = Parent Alert! Texting Codes Every Parent Needs to Know

March 5, 2010

Have you ever been confused by a sentence? Have you ever had to read something once, twice or even three times in an effort to ‘get’ what the writer was trying to say? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, most people have to reread lines and in some cases entire paragraphs regularly. For whatever reason we have temporary mind blocks and things just don’t compute upstairs as they normally should.

Keeping our normal struggles in mind, I want to introduce something else into the game. It’s called ‘Text Coding’ or ’Net Lingo’. Most of us are familiar with the regular, more harmless codes like lol (laughing out loud), lmao (laughing my a@* off) and GTG (got to go) and a few others here and there. There is, however, an entire language that is being typed, messaged and texted at a rapid rate, and it’s a language that most parents are TOTALLY unaware of. Allow me to give you an example to attempt to decode:

what’s ur doc? mine is 420. sec paw. got2 kpc. 99. ipn if ur interested. lmirl? dwb, eml. can i hv ur asl?

Having trouble? I imagine most of you are. It truly is a language all of its own and WE NEED TO LEARN THIS LANGUAGE FAST. Why do we need to learn this language you may ask? Because here’s the translation … you be the judge.

What’s your drug of choice? Mine is Marijuana. Wait a second, parents are watching. Got to keep parents clueless. Parent is no longer watching. I’m posting naked if you’re interested. Let’s meet in real life. Don’t write back, email me later. Can I have your age, sex and location.

Anyone surprised? Anyone stunned? Anyone now interested to learn this language our children are learning? I am and I sure hope you are as well. Below is a Text Code list that will shock you. Knowledge is power people and in this case, innocence is not bliss.

Hope this has helped and I hope it has saved a life somewhere.

Susan

Peter Walsh on RealLife Radio

March 1, 2010

Well friends tomorrow on RealLife Radio we have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST. The De Cluttering master who we all feel head over heels during the ‘Clean Sweep’ episodes. These days, our favorite organizer can be seen regularly on ‘Oprah‘ dishing out advice on bringing order and function into our lives. Yes, you’ve probably guessed, our special guest is the one and only PETER WALSH (Peter Walsh Design).

I really hope you’ll join us for a great show. Invite your family and friends.

Susan

Info on Peter:

Peter Walsh is known as the de-cluttering and organization guy. He was born and raised in Australia in a tiny town 25 miles outside of Melbourne. Through this experience of training and deep interest in organizational change both in the workplace and home, Peter caught the attention of the producers of the hit TLC how ‘Clean Sweep’.

120 episodes later and great reward, Peter Walsh had established himself as the guru of clutter and organizing. We saw him everywhere, we wanted him in our homes creating his magic. Helping people live stronger, more confident lives was, indeed, what we saw. This desire to help people live rich and full lives without drowning in their stuff continues to be the focus of his work.

Most recently Peter can be seen working on the The Oprah Winfrey Show helping people de-clutter their homes, their heads, their hearts and their hips. In addition, Peter is a best selling author, writing books about clutter and organization. His first, and notably favorite is “It’s All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff“. He is now focusing his attention towards designing some very cool organizational products and hosting a national radio program. All of this keeps Peter busy when he’s not travelling or helping people turn their clutter and chaos into calm. Peter currently lives in Los Angeles with his long term partner. No pets. No plants. No clutter. For more information about Peter check out PeterWalshDesign.

My hubby is a very interesting man. He thinks deeply, communicates strongly and challenges thought patterns and ‘the norm or status quo’ on a regular basis. He is usually very straight forward and to the point (sometimes causing me to cringe) but always does so in love, love in his way. In addition to his [...]

Grief ~ The Journey Continues ‘I’ll trust in You’

January 23, 2010

Well friends this is a journey, indeed. I am constantly reminded of the wise words my wonderful friend, Michaela, spoke just weeks after my father passed. She said, “It’s grief and it’s messy and inconvenient and ugly. Above all it’s real and normal”. With those few, very wise words, my friend gave me permission to [...]
