I wish there were a few more smilies

I try to use the smilies as much as I can because they do add expression to the discussions but sometimes I just can't find the right one on the list for what I want to express. For example, on one comment I wanted to just "sigh" but the closest I could find was "cry" or "sad" which neither was right. Are there times when you you would like to use another type of smiley other than the ones offered?

I don't know how I would use the ninja either but I have seen people use it and it seems appropriate for their discussion. And what does "w00t" mean? I have only seen it used once and I still could not get the meaning from seeing it in the post.

Yeah lumenmom I feel the same way about the emictions. I tend to use two of the same. LOL and happy I think those have a pretty broad use for me. Like here we go I love to use them and I try my best to use them at least one time in a response and or discussion. Take care and maybe we might get more someday.

Yeah, more smilies would be great since I use them really much. I don't know why but seems like we finns have this habit that we use very much smilies. Every finnish forum is full of smilies but there are only a few in many english forums. Maybe finns are just so happy that they want to use much smilies
