It's One Kind Favor I'm Asking You- Would someone please explain the meaning of "LOL" and "LOLOL"? I've tried "Lot's of Luck" and "Lots of Love", but they just don't seem to fit the context usually. I'm not that great at all this computer terminology. I thought there was a thread about this, but I can't find it. The "Newcomers Guide" thread seems to be mostly about HTML, and has proven very useful. But I feel like an idiot not understanding some of these abbreviations.
IMHI, (in my humble interpretation), Thanks in advance, BlueJay

I think it was El Swanno who used: ROTFLMAOWLBOOMN
(the ending part is With Lunch Blowing Out Of My Nose)

Annap thought LOL was Love On Line, which I found OK, except she used it after a very sad posting and it made no sense until we cleared up what it meant.
