Featured CMs - International

Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.

Hi, I am a 37-year-old single mother of a 2� year old, light of my life baby girl, Bobbie Lee. I live in Northwest New Mexico with my baby, two dogs and a cat. My hobbies are online bingo, online gambling, online bingo, and did I mention online bingo??

Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?

I have been a chat host for the most wonderful 7 months of my life.

Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?

I played so many hours of online bingo that I figured that I would try working at bingo. I could do what I love the most and support my baby at the same time.

Q4: What do you like most about the job?

I love my chatters. We have all become very good friends. We all know about each other's lives, encourage each other in bad times and congratulate each other during the good times. I love to be able to help them to get the most out of their online bingo experience as possible. I give them all my e-mail address and any are welcome to write to me with any problems. I try my best to be the best helper I can. No problem is too large or too small to call my attention too. I realise that if they are new to online bingo, or to a chat room, they may feel a little uncomfortable. I welcome each new player into our chat family and make sure they are having a good time and that they feel at home with us. I try to explain all chat games so they are fully aware of what we are doing. If you understand the games, you are having more fun.

Q5: What is the worst part of the job?

Worst part of my job??? You are kidding me right? There is no worst part. I absolutely love my job and enjoy every single minute I am there! Now, the only thing I would change would be a direct
link to the caller, so I could zap him with a cattle prod when he starts acting up. I love to watch my chatters win money!!

Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?

Anyone who knows me knows that trivia is probably my favorite chat game. The answers are so varied that we all laugh until we cry. When you play trivia with me, 'spullen don't kount cuss
I can't spull eiver'!! With this rule, everyone tries and we all have a terrific time. We will never laugh at you for your answers, but often we find ourselves laughing with you.

Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?

Well we have had so many funny times that it's pretty hard to pick one. I guess the funniest thing that has happened was I was working away, trying to help pull for numbers for chatters when I very clearly smelled perm solution. Be right back I hollered to my chatters. Seems as if the baby decided it was time for the cat to have a perm. She poured perm solution on him, but forgot the dang perm rods, instead of curling his hair it just got kinky. Now all the neighborhood cats sit and giggle at him. We laughed about that in chat, and still laugh about it. Chatters come in and ask how is curly cat hahahaha. Of course he is fine, a little humiliated but he will get over that. Oh wait, maybe the time she flooded the bathroom while I was working, or maybe.......

Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?

I think the most important part of being a good chat host is taking the time to help the chatters with whatever they need help with, if it is cleaning their cookies or being there to help pull for bingo. I think we are there to help and should take whatever time is needed to provide that help.

Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?

I would like to eventually be able to use a webcam and a microphone so we could all really get to know each other. It would be so much fun if we could talk to each other and watch expressions. That would make more chatters comfortable if they could talk and not just type. We have a lot of friends that don't feel as if they type well and they could more fully participate. Typing is certainly not a requirement of having fun in our chat room. I am usually there for 11 hours at a time, so as long as you try, you are more than welcome in our chat family.

Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?

I just want to thank all of my chatters for making this the very best job in the entire world. I love you guys and hope you know that. So hurry up and come see me, we will have an excellent time and laugh until we cry.

All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Shirley.
