About the flowers emoticon

[heggertyhaggerty]

I just wondered, would it be pertinent to change the thing you type between the brackets so it just said 'flowers'?

I keep wanting to use them for other purposes than 'thanks', eg for someone who has been bereaved and so on...typing 'thanks' seems a bit odd.

Hello Heggerty - I posted too the first time I did it !
Will see what the other HQ bods say.
Thanks for raising.

She did,Heggerty,I saw it and sniggered

Wasn't the point of that one a thank you though rather than flowers for any other reason?

thanks Olivia I mean

Cheese, I dunno, I missed that bit, but I don't see why having it say 'flowers' would prevent it being used as a thankyou.

I'm sorry, Mary, I didn't realise it was to do with the quilting.

it was a suggestion and if it's inappropriate then please ignore it.

However if it seems a good idea I'd be glad to be allowed to use the flowers for varying purposes - I don't quite understand, were we not intended to use them unless we were involved with the quilting thread?

Hi All,

for the suggestion.

The main purpose of this emoticon was to have it as a thank you, all explained here

thanks Rebecca...but does it bother people if we use it for other things too?

I wanted to "give" a poster some on a thread as a sort of get-well-soon, but didn't because it would mean typing "thanks" which didn't seem right (so I left it).

I think it would be good to be able to use as simply flowers for different purposes.

Thing is I don't knowwhat or mean either! I tend to stick to
