Yeah smilies! ;j  
Am I losing my mind, or do some of them keep changing color?  
This guy is green right now: 😛  
But I swear, I keep seeing him in yellow.  
Also the :mad: smilie was yellow last night, I think.  
Then again, when you hallucinate as much as I do it’s always good to get a third opinion.

My faves: 😛😃 :wally :dubious:

Is the wally from **WallyM7**?  
I never got a chance to know him personally (joined to late) but from his posts, man I miss him. ☹  
Seemed like a great guy.
