It's not so bad is it? Next baby step: respond to something we said, maybe.

That is, if we haven't scared you silly by now I think it's safe to say the welcome wagon has set up camp here, Beck

It's not bad at all. So I've got this step covered, but how do I make the cute little Santa smiley?

For a limited time only, you can make a Christmas smiley by typing any of these key sequences (without the spaces):

: - )

; - )

: - (

8 - )

Before long, they'll all go back to being typical yellow smileys. Until the next major international holiday.

Could that be valentine's day? With little hearts and things like that? I guess that's more of an american holiday...

Oh, and welcome Becky.

NO! NO, EVERYONE—*EVERYONE*—HAS VALENTINE'S DAY! EVERYONE!

Don't they?

Thank you for the Christmas Smiley info

Cute, Becky!

This is very weird, who would have *ever* thought that you and I would not only be online, but at the same time. Remember that list we were compiling? Times certainly change...

Of course, KM, everyone has Valentine's day. I wouldn't want to burst your bubble.

It's just not so big and commercial everywhere else.

By the way, they'd better not do Valentine's Day. We don't want any part of that.

Oh, absolutely *not* !!!

We can have our own anti-v-day thang. Perhaps involving olive oil...ask Kate.

Hey Kate, Becky wants to know if she can have an anti-Valentine's-Day protest with olive oil.

I don't know why she didn't just ask you herself... I guess she's shy.

Hahahahaha

Becky, I'm not sure Robert Sean Leonard is available this year

Robert Sean--who? Sounds like the title character in some bad book, like "The Man With No Surname" or something.

Robert Sean Leonard is a fine actor, with a teen cult generational following-see Dead Poets' Society-but more recently the plays Arcadia, The Iceman Cometh-or total guilty pleasure Safe Passage. He is very olive oil friendly-perhaps not personally, but he will most definately do in hommage. and to Kate-Long LIve Paul Newman!
