Dear Gransnet,

Would it please be possible for us to have our own, less scary, laughing emoticon, rather than sharing one with the Other Place.

Perhaps something a bit gentler (and more ladylike) for us older ladies. smile

Would it be possible for Tech to give us a selection to choose from?

Thank you. (Please remind Tech that this a non-swearing website)

Could he please include one with a gap or two in the teeth. smile

jangly that was funny! Where would he put the gap though - I think it may need to be the front 4 at the top? grin

Actually, when you look at that emoticon/m it does seem to have gaps between alternate teeth. Perhaps that's what makes it so scary looking. Bit Halloween.

Dear Gransnet,

Yesterday Baggy had a reply to her site stuff query.

Absentgrana had two replies to hers (probably because I stuck my nose in and confused the issue).

jangly - No reply. Nothing. Not a sausage syllable.

Fair? I don't think so.

Never mind. I can cope.

GERALDINE !!!!

Jangly - of course you can have a reply!!!

And I promise that I will look into the possibility of a more gently smiling emoticon.

(And yes - it would have been perfect for me to use right here!)

greenmoss - the gap could go at the side, like mine. The one which makes sure I don't grin too widely. grin

AAh, this site got a little way to go on the technical side. I crossed out that grin emoti. Didn't work di it?!

Yup, we haven't got round to making crossed-out emoticons yet, jangly - we'll have a look at that right after the [gentle smile]. smile
