For ___ add ___
)
p
D</p>
<p>aaah got it I think:</p>
<p>:) :D</p>
<p>lowercase p, sorry!</p>
<p>I typed “p” into my other post, but it appears as “P.” Methinks the thread has poltergeist.</p>
<p>or not…what happeded to my pink guy? Capitialization?</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>Okay…forgive the mispellings. I’m gorked on ativan, headed to the oral surgeon in about 10 minutes and just trying to kill some time here. But I don’t think I’m going remain coordinated for too much longer…lol! Never had this stuff before…is it always this strong?</p>
<p>Thread poltergeist. </p>
<p>There are ways to make smilies with little confused faces over them.</p>
<p>Oh! 
is ; and then )</p>
<p>Don’t forget these two - </p>
<p>:eek: is a : eek : (delete the spaces between the colons and the text ‘eek’)</p>
<p>and :rolleyes: which is the same as above, except replace the ‘eek’ with ‘rolleyes’.</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Women seem to substitute yelling and crying (and !!!) for logic. This is nothing new. If you doubt me, put down the remote and the box of Godiva chocolates, shuffle out to the mini-van, and drive down to your local bookstore (almost coming to a full stop before making a right turn, becuase we all know vehicles are made to fall apart if you make a right turn at more than 2 mph). Go to the philosophy section, and find a book by Arthur Schopenhauer called ESSAYS AND APHORISMS. Turn to the chapter called “On Women,” and read.</p>
<p>sigh… and just when people were beginning to be civil to each other again…</p>
<p>Ghiradelli is my personal favorite, TourGuide. We women slow down before turns to let you know that we’re planning to turn. You see, it’s just too hard to remember where the turn signal is. We keep turning on the windshield wipers by mistake!!!</p>
<p>I couldn’t play that dumb if I wanted to, or tried.</p>
<p>“…we all know vehicles are made to fall apart if you make a right turn at more than 2 mph.”</p>
<p>I thought that applied to us older male drivers, unaffectionately called “Snow Cones” by the younger set.</p>
<p>Only if you have a hat, Digi, And here in MA, an old license plate, preferably on an equally old American sedan.</p>
<p>“…we all know vehicles are made to fall apart if you make a right turn at more than 2 mph.”</p>
<p>At least we don’t turn right from the left lane. I’ve had it happen to me twice in the last two months. Both times male drivers. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>mathmom-
That might not have happened if they stopped to ask for directions first :)</p>
<p>jym: too funny…</p>
<p>We have cell phones with GPS. We don’ need no stinkin’ directions.</p>
<p>Besides, we always know the way. Males have an innate sense of direction. We also don’t need all those bathroom breaks. ;)</p>
<p>However, we can be bribed into doing whatever our womenfolk want. No one ever said we were smart. :p</p>
<p>So you guys are looking at your cellphone GPS systems while driving? No wonder you make right turns from left lanes! You should borrow your spouses big gas-guzzling SUV, the one you bought her with the big nav. screen on the dash and the polite voice telling her that she missed her turn to the Godiva store.</p>
<p>Schopenhauer — Is that the Austrian doctor Michael Caine pretended to be in one of the funniest movies of all time, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?” :)</p>
<p>Don’t mind me. I am staging a harmless hijack to practice these smiley things.
:p</p>
<p>If these work, I will graduate to the more challenging eeks and eyerolling level. :;)</p>
<p>If they don’t I will slink off in acute embarrassment, claiming that there is something wrong with my computer. :d</p>
<p>Three out of four ain’t bad. : ‘rolleyes’</p>
<p>If I get these I will be surprised : eek :</p>
<p>and very happy. :D</p>
