  • Congratulations on being in the Player Spotlight. My name is Marilyn, and we have 2 GREAT things in common. 1. I love World Class Solitaire 2. I am also an avid Genealogy. I am on quite a bit. Would love to have you as my friend :) Have a Blessed Day myaylor710

  • East Syracuse!! we were neighbors, Oneida here, what 20 some odd miles away !!!!! :):) Glad to see you! Love WCS not so good in Turbo 21, but I like to play that as well. Hope to run into sometime :)

  • well IrishKatie, I am somewhat like you except as for Justin Bieber I will disagree, because I live in and around Vegas and I can tell you as for Justin Bieber he about 2yrs. ago help out a Junior High School by giving a concert at their school and buying these kids a night to remember. I say this because this school almost all of these kids and their parents are homeless. I believe it is 75% of the children in this school. I am 63 yrs. old and don’t care for his music but I do feel he has compassion for other people, because the casinos never helped this school. Also on a smaller note the media hardly even gave him any credit for this and the fact these kids recieved gifts also.

    • Live and let live folks. Why are SO many older women interested in removing Justin B? Is he even 21 yet? My guess is that it is a copycat answer. (unless there are a lot of older women checking out Justin B). Give the kid a chance. It is, afterall, not our job to judge. (Just as I’m sure most of us would want OUR children, grands and greats, to not be judged. Compassion. Where has it gone?

      • Ironic how you are judging this spotlight player’s opinion Isn’t it? Where is your compassion and respect?

      • “Older Women”? How patronizing!! LOL Some of us just have good taste. There are lots of great young groups and I form my own opinions. As for checking him out, no thanks. I guess this older woman has better taste.

  • Thanks so much for sharing…enjoyed your answers..

I have, however, finally gotten to level 50 on Wonderland Memories! Thank you for sharing and maybe we’ll run into each other in a chat room one day. Have a beautiful weekend!

  • Hi Pamela,

    Congrats! Very nice profile. Wow, I watch The Young and the Restless also! I have to admit I do like Victor, and with all the negatives about Adam being replaced…well I do like this one! Oh, it is driving me nuts….who is Victor talking to in the confessional? Any ideas? Love Pogo…you meet so many people with the same interests…Good Luck Pamela.

  • Hi Pamela,
    I enjoyed your profile. I’m sorry about your Cocoa, you must miss her! I hope she has responded well to the medical treatment for her diabetes.

  • Congrats on being in the Spotlight!

  • Seem’s like a very nice lady.Sad but good story.HAGD

  • Hi Pamela.

    I enjoyed reading your spotlight interview. I’m so sorry you had to give up your dog, Cocoa.

  • Ho could you give your dog because of illness ??? Would you give away your
    children if they became ill ??? Dogs are our 4 legged children !!! Did
    you ever think of that !!!!!

    • For knit01, I understand how you feel but maybe the expense was simply more than they could bear and maybe the money had to be used to help her 2 legged grand kids. The dog was given to a rescue organization, which is what they do, help dogs and owners who can no longer give the dogs what they need. She didn’t give the dog to the pound or dump it on the side of the road. Sometimes one must decide between the human children/family and the dog. Please try not to be too harsh until you have walked in someone else’s shoes.

    • @ knit01,

      actually they had 4 choices to make.

      1. surrender it to an organization that CAN provide the medical care that animal needed.
      2. let it suffer from it not bein able to get the meds it needed.
      3. dump it somewhere.
      4. personally put it down.

      tell me now WHICH option above is the BEST option.

    • I should imagine it wasn’t a decision given lightly and with no emotion!!! she was thinking of her dogs welfare before her own needs,so before you slam her her just think!!!!

  • Congrats on being the PSL!!!!!

  • hello IrishKatie50,
    nice bio and Congrats to you!

    regardin ya canine family member ya did the RIGHT thing.
    you had TRULY loved ya pet family member and did what was RIGHT
    in its best interest. I give kudos to you.

  • I wouldn’t let the naysayers bother you. Life is not easy but we all do what we have to do to survive. For the record, I agree with your choice to remove one obnoxious imbecile from the spotlight.. That negative little [expletive] needs to go back to his own country but I’ll bet they[Canada] don’t want him there either!!

    I enjoyed reading your bio… thanks so much for sharing your life with us..
    Much luck to you today and always – peace from EARTHMAMA

    • You have just lost a lot of respect earth mama. How can someone have such hatred towards another human being that you pretty much know nothing about??

  • Nice profile Katie :) … so sorry you had to make such a heartbreaking choice about your dog, but rest assured it was the right one :)

  • will you ever have boogle bash working like it used too?not much fun typing in 3 letter word 3 time or so. thanks

  • IF I DIDNT KNOW BETTER I SWEAR I WAS LOOKING AT MYSELF….WTG

  • I also like genealogy. It is so interesting finding information of those who lived before us and the similarities that exist with the living generations. Birthdays, dates of marriages and even the dates of death. Going to find a grave and seeing where they are buried. The internet has really helped us in this hobby. I am basically Irish with a tad of English. You have the kind loving face of a gentle soul. Bless You.

  • Congrats on the player spotlight.
