    What the heck? LOML

    Call me a newbie call me uncool whatever! I,ve assumed for a while that LOML means wife. But I still can't figure out the acronym. Pleases someone have a little compassion here and inform me.

    Love of My Life

    Hopefully, you were right in your assumption.

    Hi Jeremy, others might have a different interpretation, but I think that'll be 'love of my life.' It's great when it's true, as in my case, I'm lucky! Take care and have a good weekend! Jude

    SWMBO

    She Who Must Be Obeyed

    Darn, I was too slow. The LOML was distracting me at the time...
    If I could ever finish working on my shop, maybe I could find the time to start working in my shop.

    In my house there is a heavy emphasis on the "MUST" part!

    Yeah, but in your house, your SWMBO is encouraging you to spend money on tools and shop upgrades so on. It's easy to obey someone who is telling you to do exactly what you wanted in the first place... You're a blessed man, Ken, as you well know.

    Jeremy, there are lists of acronyms all over the net, if you just google the letters you'll usually find it,

    TTYL, TTFN, and IMHO of course.

    LOML doesn't have to mean wife. It could be your girlfriend/fiancee.

    SWMBO, on the other hand, implies she controls half your stuff, as well as you (you've been ringed).
