Hams refer to a girlfriend as a "YL",  which apparently stands for Young Lady,   
but what I don't get is somebody's idea to use XYL for wife.  Seems to me 
like that's askin' for trouble...   :-)

Heh.  Kids are distracting all right!  I have my youngest grandkid in the 
other room with his mom and he's not much trouble because coming up on six 
months he doesn't have much mobility yet.  My one great-grandkid,  however,  
who's coming up on 2 is a whole 'nother story,  that boy wants to get into 
*everything*.  He's a lot of fun,  but there's some stuff that just doesn't 
mix.

trouble if it's ongoing.
