Hey UM - which emoticons are you struggling with? Perhaps put them in this TA and people can try and help out?

I have found a few I have been curious about as well. Some are Seh's

  ;=/  I think might mean a wink at you and something more, I don't know.

  =]   Another form of a basic smile?

  LOL   could be either "Lots Of Love" or "Laugh Out Loud" ?

  <3    or   <3s    are mysteries to me.

yep this is one of them <3- does it mean - I'm the one with the double chin?

And does <3's mean multiples.  I put my head on the side and find that my multifocals make it even more interesting. 

I thought :] might have been a grimmace.
