First name: Dawn
Screen name: DawnMarieKitty
Tell us a little bit about yourself :
I was born and raised and still live in beautiful Washington State. Got married at the young age of 19 and have now been married 29 years to my sweetie and best friend. We lived in Hawaii for our first three years of marriage while hubby was in the Navy and it was like a 3 year honeymoon. Decided the Navy wasn’t for us so we moved back to Washington where we don’t tan–we rust. We have 2 seriously awesome grown kids that we are so proud of and an adorable 20 month old grandson who has us both wrapped around his little finger. (we can’t wait to have TONS more grand kids!) We love animals and have 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 conure parrots, 14 chickens, fish and 2 frogs.
State, Province or Country? Washington State
Astrological sign? Capricorn
What do you usually play on Pogo.com? I really like to switch it up so I play all over the place.
What did you have for breakfast this morning? PB & J toast
Do you have a life philosophy? The best person to be is you. Don’t change who you are for anyone.
What is your favorite Pogo.com game? Pogo Addiction Solitaire.
What’s your favorite TV show? The Walking Dead!!!!
What’s your favorite drink? Coffee
What’s your favorite season? Winter (I love snow, warm fires, hot cocoa…all that stuff)
Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? Reading, gardening, fishing, crabbing and cooking new recipes.
What’s the last good book you read? Stephen King’s Duma Key
Who’s your hero or heroine and why?
All 4 of my Grandparents. All of them were full of so much knowledge that they shared and I still remember much of it today even though they’ve been gone many years. None of them were perfect but they were heroes in my eyes
If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? I love to “people watch” just about anywhere so that’s what I would do. Just go to public places and watch people when they don’t think anyone is watching.
If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Hillary Clinton
Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says, “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her, “The driver just insulted me!” The man says, “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”
How long have you been playing Pogo? Since 2006
What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I’m very quiet on Pogo but I do love watching my roomies chat.
I can usually be found on Pogo.com: Feverishly working on badges to get them done in time.
Coffee, tea, or soda? COFFEE!! I drink it all day every day.
Sugary treats or salty treats? Give me the salty treats any day over sugary.
Cat, dog or small rodent? All three?
If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Jealously. If we removed that, it would fix a lot of the others too like hate, sadness, spite, etc.
I also Love The Walking Dead. Beware! There are two behind you now. They seem to be shaking salt and pepper on you.
I wake up Sunday mornings so excited because a new one is on that evening!
OMG THIS WOMAN DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THE DEFINITION OF CELEBRITY…TOO FUNNY A CELEBRITY HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT……A WOMAN FOR ALL YOUNG PEOPLE TO LOOK UP TO AND LEARN FROM AND FURTHER EDUCATE THEMSELVES ….
Omg BananaNana999 ~ Thank you for being the epitome of rude. To bad so sad you are to old to look up to Hilary Clinton and learn what manners are!
Correction ~ Hillary
I don’t think so
You are a very rude person.
I agree. Two people on the same thread. I believe they need to get lives. SMH!!!
Banana, We know exactly why she chose Hillary to name as a celebrity to remove. A thinly veiled attempt at throwing her politics down others throats. (if she didn’t want responses, she wouldn’t have posted that). In some peoples eyes Justin B. is the same as Hillary. Big difference folks! World leader in politics how about?
Was that really necessary there banana?
I would remove Hillary, too…Not to be fussy…but I don’t think she is a good role model for anyone to learn from…just saying.
noun, plural celebrities for 1.
1.
a famous or well-known person.

And let’s use our indoor voice here, Nana.
Really?? You think Hillary Clinton should be looked up to?? wow.. just wow..
Yes timber…a large amount of people do. Sorry your comprehension ability refuses to let you accept a fact.
@ wolverine wannabe,
Yeah ya a prime Example of that.
ya CANT accept the FACT that other players aint someone else.
ps: ANYONE in the public eye kin be construed as a *celebrity*.
Hiya Amber name. Funny how you slinked into here now. Lol sorry dawn. Here comes some unsolicited amber advice.
ps at wolverine wannabe,
hehe now a REAL wolverine is quiet and stealthy.
those askin fer help in this article Im goin outta my way
via other alternatives to postin help. *grins*
amber you are truly clueless. No one is asking for help. This is the PLAYER SPOTLIGHT section. They are commenting on that person. *laughing at the need for the Amber name to get attn. (again, sorry Dawn, this player follows me everywhere & comments on my posts)
THAT WAS A GOOD JOKE.
Wow wtg on the “SLP” this week.. loved the joke..to funny..
so glad U R A animal lover as we are to.. must of been awesome to live in Hawaii..
Hope to meet up an play some time.. I to drink coffee (___)> every day all day long
Peace Sandi
Remember JESUS loves U
Thanks Sandi! The joke cracks me up too. I laugh every time I read it. (I’m easily amused!) Hope to see you around too! :)
Sending you a hello, from across the river in Oregon!
Hello fellow PNW’r! :)
Thanks for sharing, enjoyed your responses.
You’re welcome! :)
I do hope Pogo saves the entries because my sister submitted one much better than yours Dawn.
How rude you are, Weareplayn! I loved your story Dawn.
WeArePlaynForFun, that was a weird comment to leave. It sounded very rude. Not cool!! Dawn is just here to have fun, not compete for who is better.
To WeArePlanForFun:
I submitted my spotlight and it was printed two and a half months after submission. (I submitted it in November 2015 and it was in the spotlight That was a very rude thing to say and I’m so sorry you obviously live such unhappy life. I didn’t even know it was there until I received a gift from someone celebrating me…both here, Facebook and another Pogo “coming soon” site). Mine wasn’t nearly as good as Dawn’s. WeArePlaynForFun, Dawn says it so eloquently about eliminated
DawnMarieKitty, I really enjoyed your spotlight. I too prefer coffee (and drink it all day HA) Pogo Addiction Solitaire is still one of my favorite games…even though I am ranked out om it. I go back and play it from time to time. You’re an awesome person…on the inside and out. :)
Have a great weekend! Feel free to add me if you wish!
~ Susie
If your sisters as rude as you are,don’t think we want to read it. Great bio, Dawn- stay sweet !!!
Whoops! I wasn’t very happy when I read that comment. I submitted my spotlight in November of 2013 and it was printed in January 2014. :)
Be happy, Dawn and everyone that has posted on this. <3
I agree with U all how rude of any one to say such ugly thing.. maybe when she gets her submission in ‘SLP” then hopefully people will be nice an not ugly like she was.. I was chose a month after I submitted my :SLP:.. its great to share,, we all need to be a bit kinder..
werplayinfor fun.. gosh cant U say nice things. if not don’t speak!!!
Live and let live Dawn. Jealousy isn’t nice, is it? Your summary was cute up until you compared Hilary Clinton to a “celebrity”. Kim K she isn’t. Yale educated, law degree, first lady, senator, and secretary of state. She has a grandchild also. She’s a wonderful role model for young women… those that have an interest in pursuing an education that is. Look up the definition of celebrity.
agreed jmdw1
maybe she should step out and just be the grandmother not the president
Celebrity Definition
dictionary.search.yahoo.com
n. noun
1. One who is widely known and of great popular interest.
2. Fame or popular renown.
hmm, i do believe it tis the same person with a vendeta for all human kind making up random names to pacify itself, good peeps Carry on :) & Dawn your bio was lovely, just as much as some ….well lots of other kind folks that got attacked for some odd reason. Oh well, next week there will be another poor soul wanting to share a bit, then will come the ” OMG I can’t wait until the new post comes up. Nail biting, hair twisting, tense on edge of seat ( IF they are ably to sit ) probably can not sleep the night before thinking of mean hateful remarks to type in. My goodness what a waste of good ink.
Actually, Hillary Clinton is very much a celebrity by definition. Possibly some people should watch the reality show called “The Evening News” instead of stuff like TMZ. Once again:
Celebrity:
noun, plural celebrities for 1.
1.
a famous or well-known person.
2.
fame; renown.
per dictionary.com
Has anyone ever noticed how many of the really rude people have private profiles???
WeArePlaynForFun, You are a very sad person. Your day is coming so be very careful. We tend to get back what we dish out to others. :(
WEAREPLAYNFORFUN IS MY HUBBY AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPILY MARRIED 25 YEARS AND VERY FEW DISAGREEMENTS.MOUSETAILS,YOU NEED TO TAKE A LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF,MAYBE GET ON SOME MEDS ,,,SOUNDS LIKE THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED.FYI,,THIS IS COMMENT SECTION SO FREEDOM OF SPEECH SO GET OVER YOURSELF.
well BananaNana that surely explains everything about the rude section today….you and Weareplaynforfun are together….both are alike and both are very rude, sucks to be as miserable as you two.
Well Hi there MouseTails :) how is your Dragon in Mahjong coming along? Long time no see !!
When people have to type in all caps they have already lost the agrument.. the two rude people on this post claim to be husband and wife.. They are more like trolls who find pleasure in others misery so lets just let them go back under the bridge they waddled out of get on with our lives lol.. waddle away trolls.. waddle away
PEOPLE CAN USE CAPS. NAME CALLING IS SO POINTLESS. YOU HAVE AN OPINION AND SO DO OTHERS. DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE RIGHT. YOUR COMMENT IS SEEKING A REACTION. WHICH YOU JUST GOT. CONGRATS.
You really need to take a good look at your self and maybe get some professional help ! That was so very rude of you ! It must be hard to be you !!!
the above remark was for WEAREPLAYNFORFUN !!
SURE WOULD HATE TO BE YOU LOL DUMBLUCK
I guess she didn’t get rid of jealousy. Freedom of speech is what we are. Everyone can’t be picked just be patient or write a better entry.
I enjoyed reading about you Dawn! This is a good example why jealous is an emotion we do not need. Shame on you, WeArePlaynForFun. You should apologize.
Dawn, I was very impressed with you. There are so many mean ppl on pogo these days. Please don’t let weareplayin spoil your spotlight joy! GO DAWN!!
I guess you and your sister are the only ones who feel it was better..
I am still laughing at your joke !!! Have you ever found your self in that position where the baby is really NOT cute ??? I would never tell someone their baby was ugly, but let’s be honest here, some are ! Forgive me !!! How fortunate to have lived in our beautiful state of HAWAII. I live right next door to you in Oregon .I know we are known for our rain but the absolute beauty that comes from it is worth it. I get the feeling you would be a kick to be around and hope to run into you in a game room sometime . Grandchildren and animals are what makes the golden years fun !!! lol Take care !
Another PNW person! Hello! Yes hope to run into you too! I’m always up for new friends if you’d like to add me. :)
Congrats on the PSL. Best wishes to you.
Thank you :)
Dawn, This is the best Spotlight I have read thus far. (It reminds me of myself in that I do the same things on Pogo). You know who you are and what you want. BTW congratulations on the wonderful family you have and sharing about your Grandparents. Again, Thank You!!!
Thank you so much! Very nice of you to say that. Best wishes to you. :)
Dawn is my sister and she’s the best! Her, me and our mom have been playing on Pogo for years. It’s a fun place to go to relax and have fun. Love your spotlight sis!! :)
Thanks sis! I love you!
Awe Trishlynn. U all should have a :SLP: together.. that would of been nice to see. your sister is great.. Please ignore the nasty comment from WeArePlanForFun.. some people cant stand to see others recognized for their love an compassion.. Im truly sorry she bashed your sister.. your sister is great..
Peace to U an your beautiful family
Sandi
Thank you Sandi! I agree, my sister is a wonderful person! It’s so sad to see those few people who like to ruin it for everyone. It’s so fitting that Dawn said that she’d like jealousy removed from our emotions because BananaNana999 and WeArePlaynForFun are sure showing plenty of it! Oh well, I say we all ignore it and just enjoy this player spotlight and have fun playin the games!
I don’t know. I’m certainly not jealous of BananaNana999 and WeArePlaynForFun’s marriage. Don’t get me wrong; if you can stand living with another person for that long, you are to be commended. My late wife and I made it to 30 (no comments please, I’m not the one in the spotlight). I just am glad I’m not in a relationship with either one.
I CANT GET MY WEEKLY BADGE IN SHERLOCK HOLMES. IT WANT GIVE ME CREDIT, WHY?
SINCERELY
MARSHA COFFER
Marsha, this not the place to make your comment.
then why don’t you her where to make her comment
oops meant tell her where to make her comment
Because her must be to dump to where to comment about game problems.
Mcoffer, you may have looked by now, but your badge album album says you got it on March 4th. HAGD
how beautiful are you? Dont ever change lovely lady!!
Thank you! :)
OMG I LOVED reading your play spotlight! I agree jealousy is a very bad thing, that was a good choice. Congratulations on your marriage & pray for many more years for you & your sweetheart. I bet you are a fun & loving grandma! Nice to meet you.
Thank you! Being a Grandma is so much fun! :)
Sorry Dawn loved your comments. I too do love animals. I have five grandchildren and they are the bees knees.
Thank you! Grandkids are so much fun!!
very nice spotlight, Dawn. I too like Stephen King books and movies. I haven’t read Duma Key, but I will get it. Don’t ever change for anyone.
Thanks! Duma Key scared the bejeebers outta me! I would read it in bed and have to put it down from being too scared haha!
Congrats on the player spotlight Dawn. Best wishes to you & your family. I love your life philosophy. The best person to be is you. Don’t change who you are for anyone. I was also married at 19, 5 children 3 boys & 2 girls & 10 grandchildren & plenty of pets
Thank you! 10 grandkids! You are very blessed! :)
yrsvmw. I Can see what a beautiful nature person UR, U reply to ppl making comment’s :-)
Love your Joke nice to met you.
Nice spotlight DawnMarieKitty. I too am a Cappy. I do not watch the walking dead because of all the monsters that I love, zombies are my least fave. I am jealous that you (and my brother)have been to Hawaii, I am also jealous that you have grandbabies. I have two grown children and can’t get a grandbaby out of either one of them. Like you I am a quiet player and chat watcher, seldom chatting myself; but maybe I’ll see you in addiction solitaire since I play that on occasion, too. Have a blessed day.
ty for ur honesty dawn wishing u happiness always
Hi Dawn, I loved your responses. I know how you feel about your grandchild, I also have 1 and he is the love of my life! Makes all that hair pulling (mine, not my kids lol) worth it. Hope to see you around Pogo!
thank You I enjoyed your Spotlight, nice job
Glad to see another Washingtonian make an appearance. I live on the other side of the state wear we tan and not rust. Gotta rep the coffee that is what we are known for.
Nice spotlight. i love the smell of coffee, but it is just too bitter for me to drink. :P
I also like Addiction solitaire; it is addicting.
Never been to yo r state, but I would love to travel all over some day.
Nice bio Dawn. Lighten up people. Just because she said Hilary Clinton does not make Dawn a bad person with a need to bash her. Freedom of speech!
I have to have my coffee everyday, all day too.
You sound like a very nice person. Hope to see you in Pogo rooms! :)
Congrats on being in the Spotlight! I loved ALL your answers!
Enjoyed your answers in Spotlight and sending smiles and hugs from the east coast; namely, snowbound MA
Hi Dawn!
Loved your responses. It’s great fun to have grown children who are happy in their lives and doing a great job living well, isn’t it? The grandchildren are an additional blessing, I have 1 now, a little girl who recently celebrated her fist birthday!
The Walking Dead is one of my favorites too. It’s getting better and better with each season! I look forward to Sunday nights.
Don’t be discouraged with the comment about your choice of Mrs. Clinton – we’re each entitled to our opinion, but we’re not entitled to be rude, and that was rude.
Keep oiling so you don’t rust any further!
I looked up the definition of celebrity and it could be a famous person anyone in the public spot light. As for everyone on here knowing that Hillary Clinton is in politics, she is therefore a celebrity. I find that the people that love to cut down other people have very little clue on what they are talking about. Dawn I liked the fact that you were picked for the spotlight, you had some great responses and your joke was cute….way to go.
I have been a member since 2000, have never made a comment here. Had to today. So sad that some people could be so mean and heartless. This is a place that people come to have fun and relax. To get away from their troubles.
Dawn you sound like a very nice person. I am very sorry you had to read what people that are not like you said.
hello DawnMarieKitty,
nice bio and Congrats to you!
happy gamin always
Dawn what a great person you are, I actually laughed out loud at the joke, as for the rest of the nasty comments, just ignore them…some ppl need to get a life ;-)
from your friendly neighbor in Vancouver BC
Hi Dawn
I very much enjoyed reading your Spotlight.
I loved your joke! LOL
Hey, Dawn! I loved your spotlight! I also have a couple of grandchildren. YAY! No more pets since the betas were eaten by the goldfish. (Well, OK, the apartments didn’t allow them, either.) Have fun in the rain; I love the sunshine. I guess we both live in the right place!
Funny how one persons Spotlight will spark such controversy. I don’t know what the real issue is, but I doubt it has anything to do with whether or not Hilary Clinton is a celebrity. That was just the excuse used by some to bash a perfectly nice Spotlight on a lovely lady. Dawn you sound very grounded in your life, got your priorities straight, grand kids first, and ignoring the negative nay-sayers. Sounds to me like you have a happy life. Ignore the yapping little ankle biter dogs, they are all fuss and no substance. Great Spotlight.
Sassy you sure are the role model for a hypocrite. You have done all the rude things you are now trying to call others out for while trying to portray yourself in this particular post as a nice person. You cause drama wherever you go. Most recently this past week in the gin rooms. Fussing and no substance is right on with you.
congrats Dawn! Your spotlight is even brighter with sassy’s post. lol
*sly fanged grin at wolverine wannabe*,
AS are YOU a hypocrit.
come now SHOW ya True Colors troll other then bein Yellah
under an aliase *free* player name.
*smirks*
Amber your obsession with following me around is taking away from Dawn. At least get out your English dictionary to message in here. So embarrassing.
awww,
now come now wolverine wannabe,
you done did track others in prior LTTEs whereas I didnt even post.
(I kept my vow to NOT post) SurrrrrPrise! LoL
ohhh btw ya still got cotton crammed in ya ears troll.
ya obsession with ssassy57 is really showin since ya more then once
assumed she was me, I was her.. etc.
my best suggestion to ya is this: CLEAN that cotton outta ya ears
and learn/recognize different general typin styles
*hehe*
Again, obsessing with me Amber. Many do find it enlightening that you posted a few days ago in this section. Now that the Sassy name had a few comments made about her posts; bam, suddenly the Amber name pops up defending the Sassy name. Shameful that your obsession takes away from the player spotlight.
I am sure the LTTE will sadly return to the need for your attn in there too today.
lol @ done did. rofl
I really enjoyed your player spotlight! I am very proud that you mentioned all four of your grandparents. There is a little of each of them in your personality. I am afraid that you got your salty snack thingy from me! I am very proud of you and I like your answer to your philosophy of life. Don’t change a thing and be yourself. And just keep those grandkids coming because I am sooooooo happy with the first one! Love you!!
MoM
Thanks MoM! Glad I came back to read this. I’ve avoided it for 2 days. I love you too! :)
Dawn,
I really enjoyed your comments and your joke (really needed a laugh this morning so a great big thanks) How great that you mentioned your grandparents, you were blessed to have known all four. I do agree that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be in the public eye, she’s only trying to ride on her husband’s Presidency to the furthest distance.
Live long and prosper Dawn
Hilary Clinton shouldn’t be in the public eye?? Considering all of her accomplishments she will forever be an iconic figure, role model for women and loved and admired for a long time to come. What ignorance to give credit only to her husband. I will assume you are from the generation where wives should be seen and not heard. Will be nothing better than to have Mrs. Clinton as our next president.
Thank you to those who said nice things about my spotlight. I’m sorry I didn’t reply to everyone personally as I wanted to when it was first published. It got ugly and I’m sorry for that. No harm intended. Merely my opinion. Take care everyone, be kind to each other and feel free to add me as a friend as I love meeting new people. :)
WOW! DawnMarieKitty – you started a poo storm with some of your remarks! SHAME on all those people who said bad things about you and your responses to POGO’s questions!!! I don’t agree with everything you said, but I fully support your right to say it. Have a lovely day, and don’t let the dorks out there get you down.
I enjoyed your spotlight more than all that I have read, because it was really interesting & fun to read. You would be a nice person to have as a friend. Thank you.
