Player Spotlight – mary1313_


First name:
 Mary

Screen name: mary1313_

Tell us a little bit about yourself :

Am single, 53 years old, I love to laugh. I like puzzles of all kinds, and am an animal lover. Was in a bad car accident and broke my collar-bone. Waiting for it to heal. Groan. I am originally from Ontario. Moved to Nova Scotia 12 years ago and love it! Great people. When I first came to Pogo, I played Hearts. The same 4 of us every night. We had so much fun, I would spend it laughing so hard, I would be sore next day. We four still get together every now and then. Good times.

State, Province or Country?  Nova Scotia, Canada.

Astrological sign? Gemini.

What do you usually play on Pogo.com? Anything that strikes my fancy at the moment or whatever game it is that I am seeking a badge in.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Tea and a cigarette!

Do you have a life philosophy? Try to treat people how you would want to be treated.

What is your favorite Pogo.com game? All of the hidden object games (am addicted!)

What’s your favorite TV show? Anything True Crime. I wish I had shares in the ID channel! Lol.

What’s your favorite drink? Non-alcoholic: Tea. Alcoholic: Rum.

What’s your favorite season? Autumn.

Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? I read a lot, do pencils puzzles, and jigsaw puzzles.

What’s the last good book you read? I only read true stuff. Was a Max Haines book.

Who’s your hero or heroine and why? My heroine is my daughter. She has become a wonderful, mature, responsible person and I want to be just like her when I grow up! Lol.

If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? Sit on a bench in the mall and watch people. You see some really funny stuff!

If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Too many to list.

Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? Not really. I can never remember them so I mess them up when I try to re-tell them. Lol.

How long have you been playing Pogo? I joined January 13, 2000.

What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I just love it all. Have had many great times. Met great people and know a few in real life. One friend met someone on here and now they are married 10 years. I think it’s great.

I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: In a hidden object game, slots, or card games.

Coffee, tea, or soda? Tea.

Sugary treats or salty treats? Sugar.

Cat, dog or small rodent? 2 cats.

If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Hate.

  • HI Mary , nice to meet you

  • Hello, how you doing? I like cats too

  • Like to read about different players and their favorite games some of them are interesting. But my husband and I like to play 20-card multi-keno at the casinos, so wish pogo would create the game sometime.

  • congrats on being the spotlight I also love watching true crime and ID I also have a beautiful daughter I hope to see you sometime here on pogo :)

  • Great profile, sounds like you like to have fun and can laugh at yourself. If you can’t laugh at yourself you won’t be laughing very often huh? I find myself most entertaining. Life is funnier than any joke anyway huh? Keep on laughing and enjoying Pogo. Nice to meet you on the Player Spotlight.

  • Hi to everyone and thanks for all your great comments! It’s nice to see that there are still so many great people on Pogo! Lots of love to everyone and keep on having fun playing.
