I will GET this thing!I was going to start another discussion just to practice and entitle it "Mother Please I would rather do it myself!" but I figured you'd all come running anyway, if only to sit and laugh as I mess this up.

New to the emoticon world??

Rob has that link which shows all the emoticons and how to use them ... Don't you Rob ??

by oneamazingwriter

Now... how do I wrestle it out of him? "ROB!!! HEY!! ROB!!!"
Is there a flirty emoticon? That might work better at TR. Brute force just won't work! :D

by oneamazingwriter

It's just fine with me! :x
I figured I'd just struggle through. I should have known better on a site with so many support techs!
You people are incredible! Thanks :D

Do I do take an early leave on friday (the misses was and is still very pleased :) ), are al those nice ppl asking me al kind a things. :)

Jaqui is right but you got it already, didn't you? :)

Like your idea of a flirting emoticon. Normaly GG would flame about that kinda thing to smorty. As she has a 2weeks leave (can she do that long without us ?:| ) we'll have to take care of that. So:
[b]SMORTY[/b], please do give us a flirting emoticon!!!

That's the best I can come up with since we have such a small supply. Do you have an "in" with Smorty? I want an angel and one the tosses kisses. But then I suppose some of the guys would want one that tosses something other than kisses...LOL...(like perhaps a hand grenade) for their debates. Perhaps the small supply is there for a good reason!
'Glad the two of you had time together. It's those pleasant distractions from work that keep people working with enthusiasm.

by rob mekel

the love emoticon. :) How much as I do like that one it's not the real thing, is it? :0 [i]oh boy, did I really say that (gluck)[/i] ;)
A flirting one should be more of a blushing color as well. Alltho :8} is called Blush it doesn't quit cover it. To me :8} is more of a happy smile with a stealthy eye-glance.
A flirting one should be of a more daring look, smiling, happy but definitely more daring. :)

designing! :p Me? I am female. To me flirty isn't daring; it's alluring...ROFL. That we flirty differently is defitely a good thing! :D

Flirting is a mutually sexist pursuit. (Now there's a statement that might begin a good debate here, and who knows, Rob, Smorty might even hear us if we can keep this going! ;)
edit: well of course! How would anyone know it's me if I didn't? (To put ; after daring...without the ) )

by oneamazingwriter

and even saw the angel emoticon that I liked, but it can't be used here! Darn! After reading that thread, though, I don't think I would DARE to use it here! :0
Yesterday I found a thread that has a link where I took a test to see how evil I was, and I came out as angelic. What am I doing at TR? I begin to wonder if I took a wrong turn somewhere! :D

by rob mekel

I forgot there is a link in that leads you to emoticons of Jaqui. A pity we can't use them right a way on TR. but they're nice ain't they? :)

Don't get the part of you taking a test on how evil you are, do you find yourself evil?, and finding out your angel like, to the part of not fitting in at TR. ?:|
Or did you take the wrong turn at the test? :D ;)

edited for does @#$%^$ emoticons

by oneamazingwriter

Only the Shadow knows! :D I bought cassette tapes of old time radio broadcasts for my kids when they were little, and that's the lead in to one of the programs. :) No, I didn't think I was evil. I simply came across an old discussion that had a link to a test and I laughed and took the test.
From the (good natured) razzing I have already taken here, I tend to feel like a nun who stopped into a bar room pool hall to ask directions and got caught up in the game! :D (I love to shoot pool!) Thus my reference to having taken a wrong turn. I came here to learn more about technology and found the zaniest people I've met in years.
Just because I don't swim, doesn't mean that I don't enjoy going to the beach with friends and laughing at their antics, so when everyone goes to the depth that is over my head, I get the towels ready for them and pull out the picnic basket. Without an audience, there would be no comics!

by oneamazingwriter

it just dawned on me that people who have chosen me as a contact see what I post...oh no! That means some are looking at sh#t! :0 (Sorry about that, Folks!)

Well, now I will see if the troops will come to save the day. I can't cry....because I can't do the cry emoticon! What a frustrating position to be in!!
X-( Now that just doesn't fit me! I need to cry!

You guys are craaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeee!!! :O ?:|

[edit] Hey!! my :O did not work??? ?:| [/edit]

by jdclyde

Jell, I CLEARLY explained that it is a ZERO now instead of an OH. X-(

Your about three pages behind us! Catch up, you young whipper-snapper! :D B-)

by jellimonsta

Thanks!! :) My wife was not sure about having my daughters face on the Internet, so I put my ugly mug up there!! :D
That should scare away any predators! :p

by oneamazingwriter

both in protecting the baby and in marrying you. What ugly mug? I'm glad you did have the baby's picture up for a bit, though. I grinned each time I saw it. CUTE!!
I miss my lightbulb! But when Absolutely thought I was a guy and I realized that my name doesn't have a gender, I thought it would be best to peek out and grin at everyone. I'd change the picture, but I forgot how I got it on there to begin with! ROFL. If I learned I would probably change it often and that would confuse too many people.
If I can't be annonymous then I need to not look the same everyday. (It's a "she" thing!) :^0

by jellimonsta

When I first joined TR used to take a pic you sent and doctor it the same as they have done for their staff. It was kind of cool seeing the people who you converse with. :)

by jdclyde

go to "edit my profile" at the top

select "edit profile"

change your avitar!

TADAAAAA!

I am thinking of changing mine soon, as it is hard to make out the EX's head in my bloody hand! :^0

by oneamazingwriter

Remember this is an end user here. The last time I had to post a picture at my blog (blogspot) and then get the url for that...but I don't remember how I did that! I mean, jd...I am a TRUE end user! Duh?

by tony hopkinson

about not getting it right. Far too complicated for an old bird like myself.

Coffee mark on my screen from reading Maxwell's last post explains it.
:8}

by oneamazingwriter

If I can...anyone can!!!

You need, though, to sit further back from the screen. :^0 I can't "do windows" from here, or I would run and fix it.

by lowlands

amazing..

wow, this thread is technical enough to make the hot list? :)

looks like you started something here, hehehe

by oneamazingwriter

there's technology, and then there's technology! (Do you think if I say the word technology one more time it will help this thread to be technical enough? :^O )

by jdclyde

you have to find the "other" hidden discussion that has the sacred list of available emoicons. ;\

That or learn to be real cool,,,,, like ME! :p

:^0 :D :) ]:) ;\

by jdclyde

Can you get a new pic up at your blog spot?

The EASIEST way to change your avitar on a regular basis is to go to where you have the avitar posted at, and rename the file.

Instead of going into TR and changing the link to point at a new file, go to your blog spot and move your file somewhere else and put a NEW file (pic) in that spot, using the same name!

Anytime you want to change it, you just more a new pic to that name!

B-) :D ;\ :p :^0 :)

by oneamazingwriter

You have GOT to see a picture of my Pepsi!
(She is gone now)
I wish I knew more so I could put links of pictures here as you do. TIME!!
Hmmmm. I like your dog. LOL. Those who do not read blogs would not understand that.

Help! I cannot use the apostrophe without a search bar popping up at the bottom of the screen!! Now what did I do? You mean I must keep talking like this without contractions?

Break out the china and crystal. One is now going formal!!

by oneamazingwriter

I went out for a few hours, so I am just catching up. Reboot was what I had in mind, but now it's working OK again! Apparently all I had to do was to close the browser and reopen it again, because I didn't shut down when I went out.

I will appreciate any tutorial you decide to write, jd.
i wrote an example in my blog about navigating through My Workspace and I considered posting it as a discussion simply because even some of those who have been here for a time seem confused about it. When a site changes, I think it's harder for those who are used to the old way of doing things than for those of us who come along as the change is taking place.

:x

by jdclyde

now you can get that puppy pic up for me!

Oh yeah, mine is "Bear".

She is such a good girl. Great with the boys, and never leaves my side when I am home.

Cat is on my lap, dog is at my feet. No matter what room I move to, they both follow me.

Cat is "Hyde". (as in Mr.) This is because one minute he is lovie dovie, and the next he is nuts. he chases and attacks the boys and the dog. pretty funny to see a cat stalking a dog, and as you see, she is not a small dog.

:D

Pepsi was afraid of the camera, and this is the only picture I have of her. I need to write "our" story. It tugs at my heart, so after it's written I will put it on the other blog, or save it for a book, and send you a copy in email.

She was my happy pup, so this picture doesn't show who she was most of the time. A true lady. A clown. Protective if necessary, but she only found it necessary once when she thought an intruder was coming into the home. When she saw that it was a woman I rented a room to, she wagged her tail and went to the cupboard to wait for a biscuit! But before that? She literally flew through the air off my bed down the hall. I saw the fangs, I heard the beast. WONDERFUL alive animal. (Like me, her mom :D)
