Player Spotlight – shrtnsassystar


First name:
 Debby

Screen name: shrtnsassystar

Tell us a little bit about yourself :

I’m the proud mama of 2 furkids, Gizmo & Jasmine. I also write poetry & enjoy making things from plastic canvas. With me, it’s pretty much what you see is what you get. I love meeting new people but despise liars & drama.

State, Province or Country?  Ontario, NY

Astrological sign? Cancer

What do you usually play on Pogo.com? I enjoy Canasta & word & hidden object games

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Haven’t gotten that far yet but will probably be peanut butter waffles & pineapple cottage cheese.

Do you have a life philosophy? Be who you are & say what you feel because those who matter don’t mind & those who mind don’t matter.

What is your favorite Pogo.com game? Thousand Island Solitaire

What’s your favorite TV show? Red Band Society

What’s your favorite drink? White Cranberry Peach juice

What’s your favorite season? Spring

Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? Crafting – making things from plastic canvas & writing poetry.

What’s the last good book you read? Any of the Harry Potter books.

Who’s your hero or heroine and why? My grandmother – she faced Cancer with dignity… She may have lost the battle, but she definately won the war. She was the strongest person I know & I miss her very much.

If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? Random acts of kindness

If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Justin Bieber & Miley Cyrus

Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? ummmm not at the moment… lol

How long have you been playing Pogo? Well over 15 yrs.

What makes you a unique Pogo fan? Don’t know that I’m all that unique – I just like to make new friends & enjoy chatting with them.

I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: Early in the morning between 5 & 6 am (cause there’s just no snooze button on a cat that wants breakfast) and between 4-8 pm

Coffee, tea, or soda? Water with lemon.

Sugary treats or salty treats? A mix of sweet & salty.

Cat, dog or small rodent? Cat

If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Hate – Life is just too precious to hold a grudge.

  • Hi Debby. I like what you had to say about yourself, your cat and especially your grandmother. So sweet, and I am so sorry she is no longer with you on this earth. Know that she will always be with you in your heart and soul through her spirit. I never knew my grandparents, they died when I was too young to remember them. I am a grandmother of 3 grandchildren. The youngest is 14 years old and I have had the pleasure of helping to raise him since he was 4 years old.

    I rescue cats, so far about 50. I find good homes for them and have kept a few for me. LOL I had one that would gently bite my arm to wake me up for her breakfast. My daughter use to say one day she was going to enter my bedroom and find me eaten by her. She was a big cat, but she passed away 8 years ago. Her mama just passed away a month ago. I had to put her to sleep because of kidney failure. It was her time, she was 19 years old. I had her cremated and she is to be buried with me when I pass on. She was my best friend, and first cat I ever rescued. My daughter thinks that is crazy, but I am known as the crazy cat lady and the shoe fits me just fine.

    I added you to my friends list, and that is very rare for me. Have a great day.

    • Awwwwww antmagic – Thanks so much for your kind words. I’m so sorry you never knew your grandparents, but I bet you make an awesome one! And I’m so sorry for the loss of your fur babies :-(…. wtg on all the rescues! I wish more people were as caring & devoted as you seem to be. I’m glad you added me – the more the merrier! Hope to see you in pogo :D

  • Nice to meet you Debby

  • Well, Awesome to see a great friend in the “Spotlight” … Love the answers & Hugs to you sweetie :)

    • Hey Debster!!!! Glad you liked my answers – I had a blast with it. Much love & big hugs to you!!! :D

  • Love you life philosophy!!! Very Unique and very intelligent and So very true!!!

  • I’ve loved you Debby since before you were born, a mothers love works that way and carries through a lifetime and beyond. I’ve always told you how proud of you I am, now you can see how your life and your words have affected others as well. My mom showered all her children with much love, she taught us good values in life and then she did the same with her grandchildren. You were her first and became her favorite because of your love and nature. I hope and pray I’m around for many more years to enjoy you. God Bless You Always! Love Mom

  • i think you are a beautiful spirit. there are a few things we have in common. i’d like to tell you that one of them is what your breakfast choice was. here’s one i like & think you may also, lightly toasted raisin bread with peanut butter and thinly sliced apples on top. i too have fur babies. keep that pretty smile shining. it fits.:)

  • Congrats on spotlight!!!
