Hey where are all the guys in our group—

Have we chased you away with our topics of conversation lately— TW2

We miss you guys! 😢 Please come back!

It worked I made a sad face, now I know how to do it! cool! 🙂 Bye TW2

Crash course for you, Parallax! Ready or not? 🙂

EMOTICONS 101

These are written out with spaces in between the characters so that you can see what to type, to make the faces.

Your basic smiley: : )

*!

*STAR!

✨!

✨

Yay! lol...it's an exclamation point followed by an asterisk with no space in between.

🎵

And that one is an exclamation point followed by the word "music" with no spaces.

🎵

Wow!!! Thanks Phoenix 🙂 I so appreciate you taking the time to give us this crash coarse in Emotions. This is pretty cool. Does this only work on this site or anytime that we are sending a msg.?

You my friend are one very smart cookie! ✨

*! This is fun! I knew you had to type the sumbols in, just could not remember what all of them were. I kind of stumbled onto the answer by accident. My son used to type things like that in his correspondence (or when messaging in the chat rooms). I just tried it to see if it would work, and it did.

A big thank you Phoenix Rising for the information. Now we can all send messages with more kick. Ta! Ta! TW2

oops symbols-sorry tw2

Oh yea I have not been posting cause my system was giving me more headaches lately. I have most of them ironed out though. Darn machine anyway. TW2

: P Lets try this again! Now a star ✨ now lets see if it works. Like I said my system still has a few bugs. TW2

Darn it. 😛 or is it : P>

One out of two aint bad. If at first ya know try try again Toodles, TW2

Well guess I just had to play with it for awhile to see if I could make the signs. God I can be such a kid at times, seriously. Oh well maybe that is what keeps me young at heart. Speaking of young or old, my B-day is just around the corner and I will be 49 (and holding!!!!!)I just dont want to hit that big five o. Man it will be a tough one for me. Thirty was awful, fourty didn't bother me to much, but fifty (wow) I just cant believe it. I just dont feel that age at all. I am guessed to be in my early thirties all the tme, like I said I guess I have a baby face or something. My aunt was that way also, I'll never forget the time I visited her, I had not seen her in almost twenty years. The woman had not changed at all, it was wierd. Then my dad pops off with Ya know sissy you still look like my little girl, like you always have. I said really do I? My youngest sister is six years younger than I am, but no one thinks I am the older one. Oh well gotta run, places to go, people to see, things to do. Ta! Ta! TW2

Sorry for rambling on like that. TW2

You know my friends keep telling me your not a kid at therty three. But at sixty I am starting to feel a bit slower than I have been in the past.

I never feel old. Sometimes I have the desire to feel older than I am, actually. As if that even makes sense...I feel mature, I guess, but young. But it's strange because I usually feel more comfortable around people who are older than me. I always liked that quote (Parallax). Age is a weird thing. It has to do with time, and time is absolutely the weirdest thing ever. Just the whole concept of it. I could go on and on about the weirdness of it, but I'd have to be in the mood, and I'm not in the mood right now. 😛 Too tired.

I try not to walk around frowning, because I remember something someone said once about how everyone looks five times uglier with a frown on their face. I also don't usually walk around with a huge smile on my face, either though. But sometimes I do. I think I just don't want everyone knowing what kind of mood I'm in, because then they could take advantage of it. lol. How's that for paranoid. 🙂 I always smile when I talk to people though. (Unless they're stupid, or pissing me off.) 🙂

I ramble the most when sleepy.

Hey Freebird, you're welcome for the lessons. 🙂 You know, I'm not sure actually as far as whether this html stuff would work on other websites too. I would send an email to dxpnet and ask him, he's very computery and he'd definitely know. No actual intellectual sweat on this, btw - I only know these codes because dxpnet himself posted them a long time ago and I ended up accidentally memorizing most of them. 😛

Parallax, I liked the corny remark. 🙂 But I'm not sure if you were adressing me or Freebird with it, so I'll shut up about it now. lol.

Thanks~ Phoenix 🙂

We all know those cute little computer symbols called "emoticons,"
where:


🙂 means a smile and



😢 is a frown. Sometimes these are represented by



:-) and



😢 respectively.



Well, how about some "assicons"? Here goes:



(_!_) a regular ass



(__!__) a fat ass



(!) a tight ass



(_*_) a sore ass



{_!_} a swishy ass



(_o_) an ass that's been around



(_x_) kiss my ass



(_X_) leave my ass alone



(_zzz_) a tired ass



(_E=mc2_) a smart ass



(_ $ _) Money coming out of his ass



(_?_) Dumb Ass

🙂 *! *STAR! (_E=mc2_)

Bravo HAHAHAHAHA

Hey FREEBIRD I love the assicons, there so cool. Where ever did you find them? I have an e-mail my aunt sent me that I will try to find and send some additions to yours ok. The symbols refer to a womans breast and the different kinds we can have and also what age does. It is the funniest thing, I almost wet my pants laughing. I'll try to find it again. Oh and how are you today PHOENIX RISING? Its nice to know that I am not the only one who gets a little glitchie when I am tired. I ramble a little also, then once I start to think everything is funny and get the giggles Its not to long before I just shut down and go to sleep. Its wierd almost kind of like being a little tipsy from a couple of drinks. My boyfriend just takes my hand and puts me to bed when I get to that point. I guess Its kind of amusing to watch, so I have been told. PARALLLAX

Opps! Sorry I hit the wrong button. PARAllAX just wanted to say that you are right. I thought about it and I dont feel like I am old, even if the years say I am. It is a state of mind, we cant stop it anyway so why stress over something so small. I guess I just dont want to get to the point where I become the sweet little old lady with the brass cane, (ya know). Believe me in alot of ways I am just a big kid still. I mean I am adult and take care of all responsibilities and stuff, but I can revert to my younger years and have water fights, or play around with my son when he starts picking on me. (he likes to do that alot). Like How I am not to bright, or how he got all his smarts and looks from his dad. etc. He does this with a big grin on his face, as he is just poking fun at me. I go along with it, and we have some fun times. I tell him I can just ship him back to his dad then, no problem. My son has a very keen, but wicked sinse of humor, I enjoy playing around with him that way. We get smiles all the time when he starts it in public, and I retort back. It shows that we have a very close relationship, and we love each other very much. Besides he is funny as hell. Here is an example of one my son and nephew pulled on me. We were in safeway and I was walking down the isle in front of them a little. Both boys were saying, "Look out, be careful wide load comming through" every couple of seconds as to warn people around us. I would look back and say "Oh yes thats so cute boys" Then they would repeat it and I would say "watch it" them again am I would say "You better be careful You have to go home with me ya know" "Your treading on thin Ice." I am not fat at all, it was just a rouse to get my goat. We were all smiling as this went on. People who passed us would either smile back, or giggle a little. Or sometimes my son will come up behind me and run his fingers down my hair from the top of my head lightly. It feels just like someone poured eggs on your head and they are running down your hair. It makes me shiver and he laughs as this amuses him. Or he will come up and put his hands on my face after getting them wet and then run. Cause he knows I am going to chase him down and nail him little butt. Stuff like that, just messing around. Oh yes one more, One time he and my boyfriend held me down and placed a smiley face on my forehead with a stamper, in red ink. I was just leaving to go the grocery store. Well it got interesting when it would not wash off because they used permanent ink by mistake. So all the next week at work I had to explain why I had a faded smiley on my forehead, as my makeup would not cover it to well. So thats what I mean when I say I am such a kid sometimes. I can mess around with the best of them. Really though we have alot of fun together. Just wanted to share some more so everyone can get to know me better.

Oh I am so sorry CANDLE GIRL, I almost missed you there. Yea you did it!!! Cool huh. How have you been my friend?? I have missed you lately, did you go on another short trip? Ya know I think I read that you were going to New Mexico, is that where you have been off to?? Just to update, my mom is not doing any better. She broke another bone in her shoulder, so her pain level is up even more. Pluss She seems to be getting weaker, so we dont think we will have her with us for much longer. I try to focus on happy things during my day, and it seems to be helping me cope better with all that. I joke a little with her, and stroke her face lovingly as I provide care for her. It seems to help ease things a little for her, and makes her feel like I am happy to spend the time with her. (She sometimes jokes a little back and smiles). I decided that the last gift I can give her is to let her know and see how much I do love her, and that she is not a burden at all to me. Or that I am there just out of duty or responsibility, as she still is the mother and wonderful person that I grew up with. I guess what I am trying to say, is that I want her to know that through my eyes she is still who she is. Not just where her illness or crippled body has left her. She deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and above all else that she still is a special person.

Just tell me to put a sock in it you guys. Sorry for going on and on. But really it helps me to put all this down here. Is is kind of like a coping mechanism for me right now. So please forgive me if I am taking so much space up with my posts, but all of you are helping me transverse this hard time in my life. I am still so emotional right now, and you guys are my life line ok. Example: I was laughing through the post about my son. And crying through the one about my mom. Bye for now, thanks for being there for me my friends. (and I do consider you friends).

If nothing else I can help all of you get some insight as to what it is like to work through someting like I am. So you may know better what you may go through also. Bye see ya later, gotta go check on my little pet baby-he had surgery yesterday and I am caring for him right now also.

You are a Libra correct? Right now you need to take care of yourself.

Your MOM is important but you can not weaken at this point.

I understand. Does your MOM have a new nightgown— I suggest silk. It is pleasing to the skin.

Love,

CG

Yes she does have a few new nightgowns, and they are all material similar to silk. Thanks for the info. Ill pass it along. And dont worry I am fine and staying strong through this all. I just allow myself to give in to what I am feeling sometimes and let it out. I need the release, and it is part of the process of grieving. I do this at home when alone if possible, so I can go to her another day. Candle Girl if you only knew just how strong I am you would not worry. Take care and thanks for the support.

Bye to my little kindred spirit Candle Girl-TW2
