"Smiley central" - a safe alternative please?

[Janice]

After cleaning out my friend's badly infested computer, her teenage daughter
is now complaining that she doesn't have Smiley central and all her pals do!

Are there any safe alternatives? Or are there free smilies that she can
download and use within MSN Messenger?

Thanks

don't even think of getting it back. you will need to go to your friend's
house everyday!!

indeed there are (if you look for it) free smilie packs that you can
use for msn, outlook, some php forums but you need to search them!

This looks like a useful and fun site for your friend's daughter. Of
course anything she gets there will be OK.

Additionally, your friend needs to practice saying these most precious
words:

"If all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?"
"It's my computer and you won't install crap on it again or you won't
have the computer any more."

Hee hee. You're most welcome. Actually, I left out the best one of all:

"Because I said so".

Cheers,

I only wish the phrases worked - as a mother of two boys ( one 17 and one
20 ) they attempt to wear you down and they, of course, are always right!

I totally hear you - my boys are 15 and 11. Of course, since I'm a
computer tech I have The Power regarding their beloved computers, and
that's a really big stick.
