I use DH, but the first part isn't dear and the 2nd isn't husband. Hm… Richard Cerebellum covers it. Speaking of which, one day he came home from playing ball and said sadly... a DH here and a DH there today (he had left garbage can open so I wasn't happy when he walked in door after an hour of cleaning up trash and mopping). I looked confused... "Designated Hitter" he said sadly.

WTHAATI= "what the hell are all these initials?" I just made that up.:D
