Hi there, welcome to mn! ds/dd = dear/darling son/daughter; dp = dear/darling partner; dh = dear/darling husband. There's a link somewhere with a big list - will try and find it!

A few of the less formal ones are:

lol - laugh out loud
rofl - roll on floor laughing
pmsl - pi$$ed myself laughing

And finally:
