raising_h0rses_babies November 2008 AKA JoJo Bernie: 1. Tell us about yourself. JoJo: I am 26 years old and have 2 beautiful children. My daughter McKenzie is 2 and my son JP is 3. I lost a third child -Savannah Rose at 33 weeks on July 25th, 2007-- that I will always miss. Once my children are older, I plan on returning to school to get my teaching degree. I also have a full-blooded Pomeranian named Gizmo that will be a year old in Dec. Bernie: 2. Where are you from and where do you live now? JoJo: I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. I now live in south east West Virginia. Bernie: 3. After coming into ss4l what made you stay? What keeps you in Stargazers? JoJo: When I came into Stargazers at the time my mom was Admin and talked me into joining. Since I loved playing Spades, I stayed. I have spent a lot of nights up talking with my friends in Stargazers. I love TDing. Thanks Fuzzy for taking a chance on me! Bernie: 4. When do you play? Nights or days? Hours? JoJo: Anytime I can! Bernie: 5. What is your favorite game? JoJo: Hard to narrow it down, but the ones I love most is reg AG, Mirrors or nil, and Bid 5 3 0. Bernie: 6. What is your least favorite game? JoJo: Suicide variations and Dirty Mirrors. I will play them but I prefer others. Bernie: 7. What advice would you give someone wanting to join Stargazers? JoJo: I would tell them to come try us out! They will find out that we love making new friends and will make them welcome. I would also partner with them as I love parding with anyone old or new. Bernie: 8. Do you have a special memory? JoJo: I would have to say Rick stands out in my mind. I only knew him a short time, but I still love him and respect him with all my heart. Rick was a great friend and could put a smile on my face even when I was down in the dumps. Rick always said “ its better to pick someone up than put them down and that we all awesome a lot” I will never forget these words as I still find them very true. Bernie: 9. As a TD, what satisfaction or rewards do you get? What makes you angry or upset? JoJo: I TD in Stargazers because I love Stargazers. I never knew how much I loved it ‘til Fuzzy gave me a chance to shine again. I find TDing a great stress reliever. Whether it’s in the morning to give the day a good start or the evening to put the day away, I love it and Stargazers. And I will TD as long as Stargazers want me. The members are like a second family to me. TRIPLES with EMMA
