Helping your fellow man

sjsum99 @sjsum99 (27) • United States 27 Jan 10

In the aftermath of the earthquakes in Haiti, it has me thinking about humanity and compassion. Do you go out of your way to help your fellow man? How often do you do this? I'm going to say that not enough of us are putting out a...

Marie5656 Hello I agree with you. It is just to easy to sit back and figure that the other guy will help out. I have given money to the Red Cross for earthquake relief. My church's mission is, well..mission work. I do a lot with them, including donating food to our...

This is wheelchair accessible?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 31 Jan 10

Like most people, I've never paid much attention to wheelchair ramps at restaurants. I never thought twice about using the handicap stall in a public restroom if it was available. I remember noticing people parking in handicap...

Marie5656 I can sort of say been there, done that. A couple of years back, before I had hip surgery I went to Disney World with some friends. I rented a scooter for the duration of the trip. Luckily, I was able to get out and sit at tables in restaurants there, but did...

Pop cap games.

rameshkumaar57 @rameshkumaar57 (5908) • India 21 Jan 09

Hi there I do not play much of pogo games, but I like Pop cap games, and I have recently purchased Rocket Mania, now days, this game takes more of my time rather than Mylot. This is the first game which I bought online.

Wow! Bingo is getting rough

Reesers @Reesers (1387) • United States 27 Dec 08

I just had my first unpleasant experience on Pogo. I was working my bingo badge and was in a room with two other people. One of them requests that we wait until all balls are called. No problem, that makes sense. There is one...

Marie5656 Not sure which one you were working on, but yesterday I finished the Everybody Wins Bingo badge, where you have to blackout 3 cards in an hour. Took me several tries, but I did make it. What I did was go into a room with only about 10-15 people, increasing my...

Do you like to get gift cards?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 24 Dec 08

I don't like them, It's very hard to spend the exact amount of money so they always end up costing me more. I also have to go to stores I don't usually go to because I spend to much. I guess these are two great reasons why the...

Marie5656 You need to do what is right for YOU, not for your family or friends. Being gay is not a choice, though some will have you believing that. You can live apart from friends or family if you need to, you cannot live apart from yourself. A word of advice, you...

Normally, I like to have my challenges in pogo.com done by Friday just so I don't have to worry about them any more. When I'm playing for the badge, I usually leave my skill level the same - it's usually on the hardest for most...

Marie5656 For me, it depends on the game. I usually only play Spider for badges. I always play on easy, unless the rules specifically say you have to play at a higher skill level. Got to watch out for that one. On some games, like Majong Safari or Phlinx I am pretty...
