I enjoyed reading your spotlight.You are right without emotions it would be boring.Hope you always enjoy your Pogo games.Good for you for making it into the spotlight.
Hi Tim, Congrats being the spotlight player. I like what you had to say. I especially like your life philosophy and, Shannon being your heroine. You’re so right about emotions, even the negative ones. We need the balance, I guess. Maybe I’ll run into you in phlinx? I hope you and Shannon have a happy and safe holiday.
Hi, Tim! I like your life’s philosophy: “Some of God’s greatest gifts are Unanswered Prayers”. Makes you think, doesn’t it? :)
You’re the first person (that I’m aware of) to say that you wouldn’t remove any emotion from mankind,”because without emotions everyone would be the same…and life would be pretty boring then.” I agree with you. I believe we were created to have the gamut of emotions, but it’s up to us to overcome or curb the destructive and hurtful ones. :)
Congratulations on being chosen to be in the Player Spotlight! I hope you and Shannon (and your cats, I suspect! :D ) have a lovely Christmas!

Congrats on being chosen for the Player Spotlight! You and Shannon and kitties have a Merry Christmas and good luck in the New Year
Hi Tim, I like your life’s philosophy. Congratulations on being chosen to be in Player Spotlight! Happy Holidays.
Tim,, you are right the emotions, I never looked at that way. Thank you. And you are right about the unanswered prayers. All of us sometimes pray for something we don’t really need and God always knows what we need before we even ask. Have a very Merry Christmas and Shannon also. She is a great lady for overcoming her disability and not letting it get her down. I to am disabled.

Hey Tim – great responses. Kudos for posting a photo of you and Shannon together. Your chocolate mention reminded me of an old Smothers Brothers routine – likely way before your time. Glad you’re both here & appeared in the Player(s) Spotlight. Merry Christmas to the four of you!
I remember the Smothers Brothers… Tommy yelled “fire” when he fell into the chocolate :D Thanks for the reminder!
Tim you and your wife have great karma together, you both will live peacefully, and live full and happy lives together. May you both have happiness, tranquility, joy, harmony, and love in your hearts for all eternity.
Hello my Pogo friend Tim. It was nice meeting you & here’s a big ole Tx Thank ya for sharing a lil of your life with us. I have to say I totally agree with your philosophy on life. I can only imagine the mess I would be in sometimes if it weren’t for unanswered prayers! Merry Christmas to you, your wife and your two fur babies.
I liked your comment about being invisible…..I think everyone should know the effect their absence would have on others, kind of gives you a wake up call that you are worthy and and you are important. And yes at times we are all “unique” in certain chat rooms…God Bless you and your wife.
Hi Tim (and Shannon) – You have a unique and interesting take on things, and that’s meant as a compliment of the highest order! Particularly the part about wondering how things would be without you. George Bailey (It’s a Wonderful Life) had an opportunity to test that theory, and discovered that life for everyone would be a mess without him. The same would be true for you. You are here intentionally, and you have a defined purpose. Bless you and Shannon!!
Thank you for sharing your life story with us. It was interesting to read about you and your family
Congrats on being in the Player Spotlight!
Recently in playing KenoPop! I had nine balls land in the numbers I had chosen which is 50,000. I was in awe watching the balls land in the lite up numbers. It was really exciting to watch. One of the balls was red which made it 3 times, or for a total of 150,000 tokens. I had never seen this amount won before, but I am sure many players have won larger amounts. Then, a day or so later I was playing Monopoly Slots and hit 5 Monopolys for 50,500 tokens. This happened just before my birthday. Thank you POGO for making my day a little more fun.
I didn’t know my comment would be here. I was trying to get it to the editor.
Hi Tom & Lovely Wife,
CONGRATULATIONS” on making it to Spotlight Players. That makes you special. I like everything you wrote & I want to say “Merry Christmas” to you & your wife. You two seem to be a perfect couple.
