The little animated cartoon faces and icons.
Known as smilies, or smileys, and here on GaGaJoyJoy as Graemlins.
I used to hate them and did not use them at all.
But in recent weeks I find myself using them.
I loathe the rolling-eyes thingy. (It always seems a bit insulting to me.)
I wish there was one to represent that lovely mood of bliss - when all is well with the world.
Not hysterical. Not laughing my socks off. Not angelic.
But just pleasingly content with the world and everyone in it.
For those rare occasions when one feels "life is not so bad after all-I am blissfully content."

I also find it frustrating there's no smiley's, they help to get a point across. Also there's no Edit feature, darned annoying when I've done a typo
There is an edit function YR... hover you mouse over the bottom right-hand corner of the post you want to edit. Then click on the icon on the last one on the right. It submits your post for correction... then submit again!  

Hahaha! edit to show I posted that wrong... I wrote left-hand instead of right!

While you're here Fluffs. Can you remind me of the reason they're called graemlins rather than smileys? I have a vague memory of something explained back in the day when this forum was mostly greed fields! It was something to do with a groupee called Graham who developed many of them originally I think...
You're mostly right Xochi, The chap's name (surname) was Graeme and he devoloped the concept way before Groupee

Oooh1 An experiment.
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing
