GF = girl friend
SO = significant other
CPN = community psychiatric nurse (in the UK especially)

There are other general internet abbreviations sometimes used such as
FYI = for your information
... very long list of those here: http://bovis.gyuvet.ch/3dict/390ainet.htm

Challenges, hugs, and just about everything welcome. :bfly:
