Crescent moon for the quiet corner

It has been suggested that I lob in a request for a crescent moon emoticon to assist in our goodnight messages. Consider it lobbed.

Now to get on with setting up the lobby group so that in due course the request can be lobbed again (and again, and again) by a whole bunch of lobbyists.

Or should that be lobbists?

hmm

Moons are great,
Always change shape
From full to a slice
Yet not in a trice.

Sometimes clouded,
Often bright
Always there to rouse
Our life!

Golden balloons,
Shadowed white orbs
Night are long when
Thoughts go wild.

Yet through it all
The moon belongs
Always there
Calm and content.

Just like us lot! wink

MOON please...

Bags Sat 19-May-12 19:20:01

HQ, we're mooning for a moon.

Annobel Sat 19-May-12 19:36:30

Bags, no mooning on this forum please!

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 19:43:44

I should think not!
Moaning seems to be OK though! grin

Bags Sat 19-May-12 19:59:13

I wasn't using the word in its slang sense, ladies! As if! shock

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 20:04:18

Is there another sense then, Bags? confused

We were/are here. We were busy thinking of ways to bribe implore tech re the moon...

glassortwo Sat 19-May-12 20:16:37

cari you are always lurking somewhere around, smile even in your pj's grin thats dedication for you!!

Bags Sat 19-May-12 20:18:22

nag, yes. To wander about listlessly.... with connotations of waiting and hoping in this case.

jeni Sat 19-May-12 20:23:47

As in mooncalf!

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 20:28:56

Ah, yes! I'd forgotten about that sort of mooning, Bags! 'mooning about'....

Bit before my time - that's my excuse! grin

Butternut Sat 19-May-12 20:29:33

Jeni shock - Not any of us, surely?

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 20:32:58

Come on Techies! How hard can it be to let us have a little, tiny crescent moon....?

Annobel Sat 19-May-12 20:47:26

Oh, did I lower the tone? I'm so glad. grin

jeni Sat 19-May-12 20:57:05

Hardly!

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Sat 19-May-12 21:00:07

lol glass, you are right - usually lurking and usually in my pjs and eating chocolate

jeni Sat 19-May-12 21:06:21

[crescent moon]

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 21:09:45

Ever hopeful, jeni! grin

Cari Glad you didn't see me totter off to bed last night wearing my baggy pjs...having eaten a bar of choc [not all to myself] and test-tasted three extra-strong, heavy-weight gins...hic! blush

Butternut Tue 22-May-12 20:09:18

BUMP!

Butternut Tue 22-May-12 20:13:46

Voting necessary! There is room for one new emoticon, so if you wish for a Crescent Moon post here! smile

I know some of you have already done so, but GNHQ are up for doing a new emoticon, so it depends on YOU lobbying for the RIGHT one.

I would love to have the Crescent Moon, because it is so much a part of our lives.

Both!

Butternut Tue 22-May-12 20:17:38

8jeni* - grin!
They won't do both - just one.

Please choose the one that will last the longest. [hopeful emoticon]
