Hi Misfit,

Thinking what g/f might stand for...

On this end, I'm still working on activating my account.  One day...

g/f = Girlfriend. Well, fiance really, significant other, intended, better
half... You get the picture.

Better go with s/o, to play it safe.

She sure sounded like she was feeling a lot more "significant" than
a g/f, in the last post I saw by her!  ;-)

LOL, yeah.

It's just that the term 'significant other' is hardly ever used in New Zealand, although we are slowly being assimilated by the borg (USA).

Cheers,
