Smilies

Is this something that you made up for this site Dave or is does this short-cut translate elsewhere?

my email friends use it all the time but I didn't know how they were doing it (LOL)

gessiegail, your email friends would be using :-)

My turn to try *lol* ^_^

Woo Hoo, Success

Thank You Dave

Kim ^_^

I promise that I have friends in New Mexico who always sign their emails with that little yellow smily face.

I'm sure they do, but when they input the smiley they probably use the keys :-) which comes out a smiley in most people's email. Or they have email software that lets them put a smiley in. My Eudora will do that.

^_^

All I know is that I can mess up a computer faster than a child can! My incredimail is so messed up I have to call the computer tech, my best friend now! When all my friends who are older as I am were taking computer lessons at Del Mar college, I scoffed at the idea of needing to do that. Now I am sorry I didn't take lessons.

Okay, my turn to try! ^_^

Ok , Dave. Now, what do we say when people are putting about 6 to 9 smilies on each posts? It is driving me nuts (LOL)

^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Just smile Gail...it's a happy day!!!

Oooops, I think I am the one driving you nuts *lol*
I need to learn to smile less often *lol*

Hush threegardeners! ^_^ It is not going to be really good until this friend whom I love dearly goes home. ^_^ I just back from a week at my daughter's house and this friend called to say she wanted to come for a week.......sorry to be so grumpy!^_^

But one smily goes a long way.......^_^ ^_^ ^_^

How funny, Kim as it is you I am talking about! That is what I get for being grumpy this morning.....get caught being grumpy ^_^

I knew it was me.
Sorry.

Good for you, gessie!

Kim knows I love her anyway........I am the one to apologize and not you, Kim!

Wrong thread to post this but I have been laughing and starting my day over! I keep locking myself out of the house and having to break in (well, my brother has to). Dimmer asked me if I wanted to be a nerd or a biker so I answered that I would rather be a biker.

Look what she just sent me and I won't post on the thread anymore.......this is priceless though. Even a doo rag is included.

It would appear that Dave has moved on after his point and we have lost his interest in our happy face chat.

^ _ ^

^_^ kewl beans.........but why not just add emoticons to the site?

Wow, it's been a month since Dave showed everyone how to add Smilies! ^_^

I won't add Emotions because I think it might be 'Spyware", not sure but I don't trust any of these cutsie things that may just be gathering information. Once I added a cute "gator" thingy, thought I would never get rid of it. It was "spy ware".

Azalea, these are done with the keyboard so there's no danger of spyware.

I know what we have on here is harmless with our keyboard - I'm, talking about a program called "Emotions" - it has a row of animated faces - you have to click on it to add it to your programs. I get them on many emails, but won't click on it to add to mine. It may be harmless, but I don't know, so why take the chance.

I believe they can cause problems.

I love the yellow smilies... as with the ability to put text in bold, italics, etc., they can add interest or emphasis to a post. But I'm really glad Dave hasn't opened the door to a bunch of emoticons, animated dancing sig files, etc. I think I'd find them very distracting as I scrolled down through a thread.

I agree.

Me too!

Me too, this one is fine, it has not been overkill yet.

I'm going to give this a try... ^_^

okay, trying now.^_^
