Moving Measles

They're a lot like the light in the refrigerator, Pike. There's a little guy in there who turns the light on and off, so why not a tiny prson in the computer to give the smileys a rest -- to awaken them when they're needed!

Hey,boy what a misery,those smiley faces are good fun and they liven things up,there are some great emotes that you can download from the net,and there are some great ones for use in the chatrooms too,so come on and let your hair down,take some time out and have a bit of a laugh,get those smaileys and thumbs going,you may have a good laugh.

They go to sleep when you turn the computer off. You know when you've had the computer on too long and they're tired because their spots start to fade. You have to be careful because if they get really tired or upset they turn into sock gremlins and move to the washing machine where they eat one half of each pair of socks. So don't spend too long at the computer.

Hi p1, LOL! You make me laugh..ANyway, Aside of earning additional as what was advised to me, I also love to see this icons to highlight or put some life in each of my sentences! LOL! I hope you will learn to appreciate them, they are friendly! LOL!

I would think they'd be allowed a break, p1key! After all, it's hard work, all that flapping, thumb-upping, winking, rolling and general tomfoolery. And isn't there a Measly Union? Don't they have to pay dues and show up for meetings? Well then, they MUST get a break when you turn your computer off, elsewise, they'd all go out on strike and we'd have nothing to express our innermost feelings that words just can't convey, darlin! We can't have a Measly strike, can we? Can you imagine? All those little measly things, picketing, marching up and down the halls of Mylot, chanting Union slogans? Not a pretty site. Not pretty at all.

Very good question. Ranks right up there with 'If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him is he still wrong?' If you find out the answer, make sure to post a new discussion ...

you are so silly!! i wonder if they do. maybe they do go to sleep and take a nap. it can't be easy holding up all that steam up all day. or flicking your tongue like that

You don't like Ninja?? LOL

You are so funny at times, you really are. The above 'yellow measles' are the ones I use the most often and yes I guess even if when I shut down my computer they are still sticking their tongues out and flapping away on someone elses. LOL. The good news for you though is only three can be used in any one response. Ellie :D

dunno is there any way to ask them?

I like to think that they do get a rest as surely all that flapping and such must be hard work especially if the computer is on all day!!! Maybe they have little breask but because they are moving that fast we dont notice. When you turn the computer off they go to sleep, party and do measly things. Maybe goon their computers and surf mylot to catch up on all the latest gossip. I guess to really find out, you will have to shrink yourself and disappear into the worLd of the computer!! Make sure you will be able to find your way back or they might turn you into one of those faces, who knows which one!!!

Piky ,dont be an old fuddy duddy..the emoticons are all the rage now,and I cant see anything wrong with them!its expression,if you need to express yourself then that is why they are there.Re the latter part of the question lol im ignoring it altogether!!

I'm sure they (like the little man in the fridge with the torch) take the opportunity of a well-earned rest when we turn our computers off. It's probably a bit like a tree falling in the forest and not making a noise if there's nobody there to hear it ...

i like those little happy faces as a matter of fact where can i get some? they look fun iv seen those and i wondered where people get them hehehe.

I don't use them myself. But I don't think they stop doing what they do when you shut off the computer. I've seen the tongues flapping long after the posters have shut down the computer and gone to bed. Let's try a little experiment...you use one of them in one of your responses and I'll watch them for you when you shut down the computer...and maybe Crash will be able to answer you better about them getting tired....or when they get some much needed rest.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha Good quesion, and now you've given me something to wonder about, as I fall asleep tonight.

lol..That's quite interesting..hmmm..let's see..I believe this wee faces work 24 hours a day I bet they take turns sleeping

I've spent the evening closing my laptop, then opening it very quickly in the hope of catching the smileys napping, but I'm not quite quick enough to be sure of what they're up to. Providing my family don't have me taken away by the men in white coats first, then I'll persevere, and let you know.

I think they have little parties when I am not logged in, and come back just when I turn on my computer, much like I used to imagine my dolls did when I was not around. But then, I was a strange child...

Oh pikey, you're just being silly. What have you got against the faces? They're so cute! You should try them. I don't know if they keep doing what they do when you turn off the computer. The might. And yes they probably get tired especially if theyhave to do that all the time! I really think you need to try them out, you might just take a liking to them. They aren't measly, they are very yellow and descriptive and mylot likes them to be used to describe how we feel so try them outopal
