>I keep seeing this "hmmm" msg on these boards. What's that supposed to mean?
well the other one on social was a 'hum' not sire what that means....but this one was a 'hmm' as in let me think...um...then I replied.
>I have learned that I am really thick as the proverbial brick. But why the heel [civility, always civility] do people use it? To clear their brain, or nasal passages, or is it a sort of elementary judgement thing. For example, nobody uses "harumph" or "ahem, ahem" or "tsk, tsk" Anyway I'm just miffed tonite or goin off the tracks with my crazy train. I want my vodka and I want it now but I don't want to go get it. anyway, cockeyed.
OH Ive seen lots of other sounds used. :-) wehn people do it I just take it ias they are thinking hard about what they are going to say....thats all.
