I was always wondering what DH meant!! I felt silly asking Embarassed . I figured it had something to do with significant other, boyfriend, husband, something like that. Just couldn't figure out the "dear" part! Thanks!! Very Happy

Laughing I always wondered what OCM was, and thought it was some aspirin mask thing as a lot of OCM threads relate back to aspirin masks but couldn't figure out what it stood for. Now it's SOOOO obvious I can't believe I couldn't figure it out Embarassed
