Sadje has the question here https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2022/04/03/sunday-poser-74/

Do you like using emojis in your post, or texts?

I am a definite yes!

I have found that sometimes no words are needed when someone sends you a funny text….just give it a laughing emoji. Obviously, if someone is sharing a joke they found it funny too, but there doesn’t have to be a discussion about it.
Emojis are good for those dreadfully sad messages…my dog died yesterday (Only an example!)...A sad emoji works best. I mean how many times can one person hear that someone is sorry to hear that they lost their best pal. Any dog owner knows how bad that sucks and it doesn’t need words. It just needs the acknowledgement that “hey, I get it and I know this is the worst time for you”.
Finally, I think the emoji is a good way to show someone that you think they did a great job at something because they did it, even if you don’t necessarily think it’s as good as they do. I know that I don’t want someone reading one of my poems and saying, “you know, I think it’s great that you joined the challenge but your poem wasn’t really that good so I don’t want to say great poem, because that would be an outright lie…” Just give me a thumbs up so I know someone read it. I’m not out to publish everything I write so I don’t expect a critique with every post. Just saying………
