Confessions of a Smiley Collector: Join the Fun and Share Your Emoticons!

[Pampered Laura]

Okay. I have a confession...
I collect smilies. You know, emoticons. Those little graemlins.
I have thousands. Seriously.
So... in an effort to feed my addiction, I want to see what you guys have, and maybe share some with you. Any takers?

Step One: Admit that you are powerless over smilies - they have taken control of your life.Step Two: Turn your life over to a higher power - Bill Gates isn't it.

Hey if no one wants to play with me, FINE!

 

[AJPratt]

I love smilies, too! Although some of my favorites are too dirty to post here.

 

[raebates]

I love the smilies, but I just copy and past from the websites.

Okay where do you get all of those!!! They are too cute!!! My DH said that they put spyware on our comp. so I never went looking for them... He might just be being a party pooper.

For most of the fun smilies you see, you can click on the smilie itself and follow the link. According to my friendly computer geeks (a term of endearment, I assure you), you're usually fine if you don't actually have to download the smilies. Mine are all cut and paste, so, no problem.

 

[Pampered Laura]

I download them all and then upload them to photobucket.
I dont like copying and pasting because it uses other people's bandwidth (which they have to pay for).

 

[raebates]

Okay, Laura, you're now talking a completely foreign language to me.

I don't use the special smilies in my emails or anything, just here.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Actually, C&P just puts more characters into your posting and is no problem.Linking uses the source's bandwidth. Photobucket knows that and is set up for it.

 

[Pampered Laura]

Oh I thought you were saying you right click, properties, and c/p the image URL address. Thus, linking to someone elses bandwidth. My bad!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]
