Sfwest 60+ is a group of people meeting for companionship and chat. The vast majority of them are very nice people who care for each other, even though most of them have never met. Some of those who have met at chat room get-togethers have voted to place a bounty on Twoser`s head. Here are some of the chatters and a few comments about them.

Porky, as she is known, lives in California, and has been with us since the WBS days and has been a mainstay of the room until illness slowed her down. Don`t let her illness fool you though, she is just as sharp as ever. Just starting to come back in the room when she is feeling well enough. I met Porky at the Nashville Bash and she has been in to visit with us in PA. Seems to have an aversion to going to Pork BBQs though.

Candi is one of the old timers too, and a pretty little thing she is. She lives in Michigan and has a sense of humor, along with the wit that makes me think twice before picking on her. Of course that doesn`t stop me. I met Candi when she came in for a visit. She and Pat got along like they had been friends for years. We also met at the Nashville bash. She gained fame at the Pittsburg airport even before she arrived there.

Newheart, or Will as I call him has been one of my closest friends since the old WBS days. He lives in California and as his handle implies, has been the recipient of a new heart. The new heart is a very big one though as everybody that gets to know him will tell you. He does seem to have trouble with trees though. Shirley, his wife, loved the old tree Will had cut down. It got her a new car.

Wep, or Wolfman is from PA and is also one of the old timers, both in age and time in the chatroom. He has gained fame for his ability to stick me with the bill. (Just kidding Bill) He does have a vicious temper when awakened early in the morning, as 1Gear found out in Nashville. His desire to give all of the ladies he meet hickeys is well documented by some of the ladies. He lives near me and is my closest friend.

Littlebets is a lovely lady from Indiana and has been in the chatroom since the WBS days. Her quick wit and sense of humor makes it dangerous to pick on her, as I found out. Never have met her in person although it has been close at times when she was traveling fairly near my location. Maybe it was because she might get a big hug. Not in chatting too much anymore, but I can see you out there lurking Bets.

Ah yes! And then there is Trish. A fairly new lady from Canada. Pretty young thing that livens up the room a great deal with her humor and images. Going to cause me a lot of grief though since she got Paint Shop Pro. Seems to have a fixation on coming down from Canada to help Pat beat me up. I can think of no reason she would want to do that. Sure gets vicious though when I make insinuations about her weight. All 120 lbs of it. From the looks of her homepage, she is going to the dogs.

Katieeee is a lovely lady originally known as Katie From Atlanta, but then moved from Atlanta to Fla, then Chicago, and now is residing in Nevada. She is well recognized for her skills in the kitchen. Really cooks with butter. One of the early chatters in WBS, she has been with us for a long time. Quick of wit and retort, I never hesitate to sock it to her in the room. Has a phoebia about having castors on the kitchen table.

Ladybug is a blonde beauty from Texas and has been with us for just a short time, but in that short time, has nagged me, made life miserable for me, and otherwise has endeared herself to me. I can`t help but love her though, because she likes country, and gospel music. Likes motorcycles too and can drive one, all by herself. Could be a very nice girl, but she just has to be from Texas.

Meriheart is a cute gal from Utah and has been in the room for some time now. Very pleasant personality and not at all like me. She does have some good luck. She lives in the county that Michael Jackson was charged in and lives close enough to the courthouse to see it. I have been whining to her to let me stay in her house during the trial, but she won`t go along with that. Says it will devalue property value there.

Bumpkin is from Virginia and has been a friend of mine for a long time. She is one of the first people I talked to when I chatted on WBS. We have come close to meeting a couple of times, but it seems that every time we arrange to meet, something happens to keep it from being. I would have liked to go down with Porky and Ginger to meet them when they went down, but I felt that if I wanted to preserve my innocence, I had better stay home. Bumpkin has a very nice homepage that tells you a lot about her and her family.

Fuma is also from Virginia and poor Bumpkin is married to him. He has been in chat since the WBS days and is one of the raunchiest old buzzards I have ever talked to. Only good point about the critter is that he likes beer. He hasn`t been in the room for some time, but when he is in the room, he makes things hop and jump. I sure hope he comes in the room while Trish is there. He would be an expert at making life miserable for her. Guess he does have more than one good point. He made live very interesting for Porky and Ginger when they went down to see Bumpkin and him.

Kale is from Texas and I consider him a close friend. The way we dig each other at times I am willing to bet that some think we hate each other. Kind of like Wep and myself. He loves his dog "Bo" and he is a permanent fixture on his desk when he is at the computer. I am careful about picking on him, because he has a bad habit of firing back at me. A terrible thing to happen to one as innocent as I am. No matter what, I am proud to call Kale a friend.

 

Cop is from Indiana and his sense of humor belies the tough job he has. He has been with us for a long time, way back during the WBS days. When he enters the room, things become chaotic with the images he manages to find and post in the room. His love of sardine and pickle sandwiches is well known, as is his famous talking bed. It has been my desire to con Wep into driving through Cop`s jurisdiction and tip Cop off that an outlaw will be in his area.

Baron is from Tennessee and is an old timer from the WBS days. Viewing his homepage has given me a very deep respect for him. while at the Nashville 60+ bash, he was there at all times to help out in every way he could. He used his own vehicle to transport those of us who flew down and had no transportation with no regards to the expense or time involved. Thanks to him, a few of us were able to get to Opryland before it was closed.

Barlew is from Canada and I believe she must be the original 60+er in WBS.A very refined lady, she is a pleasure to talk to and is a real asset to the room. Her homepage is a very good one and is a pleasure to view. I met her and her husband Ken at the 60+ bash in Nashville. Ken is a quiet unassuming person that I consider it an honor to have met him. He went with some of us to a Masonic Lodge while in Nashville. The picture of us who went will be in the Nashville pictures.

Cal Girl is from California and was one of the nicest people I have ever talked to She was one of the early chatters in WBS, along with her dad. She has not been in the room in a long time, but I hope that she will eventually get interested in chatting again. A pretty girl with a personality to match. It would be a great pleasure to me if she should happen upon this web page and again come into the room.

Foxy Bob is from Canada and one of the nicest people I have ever met. He came down to PA one year and I met him here which was one of the times that I could say was a very pleasant time. Darned if he didn`t give me the first hug I ever got from a man, but people from other countries don`t have the hangups that we have. It would be a great pleasure to me if we should ever meet again. He should be more careful about who he travels around with though. He did manage to get to one of Newheart`s famous BBQs.

Ah yes, and then there is Ginger. She is from California and I met her at the Nashville bash. To meet Ginger is an experience all to itself. She is a vivacious young lady that has a quick wit and an outstanding sense of humor. She has been in to visit with us a couple of times and it would be a pleasure if she should come in again. I promise her that if she does come in again, I won`t tear a hole in the ceiling above her bed to drop in on her during the night. When Ginger is around, there is never a dull moment. Real handy to have around to go get soft drinks.

Ina is from California and is one of the first people that I talked to upon finding WBS Chat. there is a story behind each of us greeting the other with {{{{{{{{{{CYBERHUGS}}}}}}}}}}She was visiting in the east when I met her. We made arrangements to to meet at the Williamsport Airport restaurant where Wep and I met her. When she was leaving, I wanted real hugs, and got them. Ever since, I give Ina cyberhugs, since room hugs are not the real thing. Love ya Ina.

Bud is from Arizona, or some of you may remember him as "Golf" has been with us since the WBS days. He is an avid golfer that I understand is a very good one. He has gained international recognition from the publication of a series of letters he wrote home while in the army. The pictures from his army days are very interesting and bring back many memories for him. He is very proud of his family and from the pictures he posts of them in the room, he has every right to be. He is a good friend.

Uncle Pug is from California and is one of the WBS oldtimers. His quick wit and fast comebacks make it a chancy operation to pick on him, but I usually do, out of habit. He accuses me of talking too sweet to the ladies, but you better keep an eye on him. Just ask him to show you a picture of his lady Dr. I was wondering why he had to see his Dr almost every day until I seen a picture of her. And to think that he calls me a dirty old man. No matter how you look at it, I consider Pug to be a good friend.

Moxie is a lovely young lady from Maine that I met at Nashville. Has a wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit about her that makes it difficult to pick on her without instant retaliation.

TJ lives in Illinois and is also one of the graduates of WBS. I met TJ and his wife Pep as they were traveling through Pa at the Buckhorn Truck Stop, near Bloomsburg, Pa on I80. A quiet unassuming man, he is responsible for reminding me to take my medicine at night. He never fails me. We look upon him as the medical advisor for the room. Whenever we have a medical problem, we whine in his ear. Has a sneaky sense of humor though.A great asset to the room.

Landy is from California and is a fairly new denizen of 60+. Has a subtle sense of humor that leaves me with sore ribs at times. I depend on him to keep me informed of the weather conditions in California. If I ever make it out to California again, he is a must meet.

1Gear is from Alabama and is one of the most loved men in the room. He is one of the old timers from WBS and has yet to explain to Ina what happened to all of her bowling balls. I do wish he wouldn`t hide the shine in the outhouse though. It makes it rather difficult to steal it. A very friendly and humorous man, he is one of my best friends. Before pat shoots me, or someone else strangles me, I want to go to Alabama and meet him in person.

Brat, or Gayle as I call her is a pretty girl from Canada. She is fairly new in the room but that doesn`t keep her from being a very well liked girl. She has a well developed sense of humor, or otherwise she would make the trip down from Canada with Trish to assist Pat in beating upon my person with vigor. Pat really doesn`t need any help in abusing my body, but there seems to be a surplus of people willing to help her.

Murph is a lovely lady from Texas, but I won`t hold that against her. She is one of the refugees from WBS who has been with us for a long time and her wit and sense of humor makes her a very welcome addition to the chatter that goes on each night. A very pretty girl, she would make me feel better when I beat upon her door if I didn`t hear her voice saying loudly "SIC`EM NIKKI!". Errr, Nikki is her doggie, not her boyfriend. See you in the room Murph.

Green is from Texas and is a true gentleman. I met him at the Nashville bash and later on when he visited us in Williamsport. He has been in the room for some time and his quiet sense of humor sneaks up on you. He does have a lot of strength in his hands, as my neck will attest to. It would make me very happy to meet him again.

Jennie is an old timer from Wisconsin and a graduate of the WBS days with a winning personality. I met her at the Nashville bash and found her to be a very pleasant girl to be near. She does have a witty mind though. When you decide to pick on her, better be ready for a quick response. What makes it difficult for me is that she has longer legs than I do, so I have to be nice to her because I can`t out run her.

Mack is now one of those southern boys and doesn`t like the northern winters anymore. He is an old timer from the WBS days, but doesn`t make it into the room any more. A dang shame since he made the room shake. He is one of the funniest guys I have ever met in the room. I met him at the Nashville bash and he was just as humorous in person as he was in the room. A real nice guy I would love to meet again.

Maek is one of the origonal WBS chatters from arkansas whom I met at Nashville and is just as pretty in person as she is in her pictures. I like to greet her with "My Favorite Blonde" when she comes in the room. A pleasant personality along with a good sense of humor makes her a joy to have in the room. If there is another 60+ bash, I hope she will be there so I can go and meet her again. She is a great worker and instrumental in making the Memphis bash a success.

Kare is from Indiana and one of the origonal group from WBS. I met her in Nashville when 60+ had a bash there, and a pleasurable experience it was to meet her. She has a wonderful sense of humor with a personality to match. When she is around, you can feel a sense of vitality that makes you realize that life can be an enjoyable experience and is well worth making the most of. It would be my pleasure to meet her again. She is very faithful about attending any of the bashes 60+ has and is always a welcome addition to any gathering.

Kattieblu, or Bluevelvet as she was origonally called, is from California and the pretty gal I talked to a lot in the early days of WBS. We have been friends for so long that there is a special bond between us that will never be broken. I have never met her in person, but if I ever get back to Cal, that will be my highest priority. Life has been a series of tragedies for her the past few years which have taken their toll and kept her out of the room for a while. Hope things get better for you Kattie.

 

Hiram is from Pennsylvania and is a fairly new chatter in 60+. He has been a personal friend of mine for a good many years. A Past District Deputy Grand Master of the 18th Masonic District in PA, he has been my mentor in the Masonic rituals on a good many occasions. He must be an OK guy, because my cat hasn`t bitten him. (YET!) I will have to see what I can do about that. I always like to have him around, because I can always con him out of a BIG beer. Makes him angry though when I won`t share with him.

Sugar was from Virginia when I first started talking to her way back when in WBS. She is now happily married and living in Florida. One of the origonal chatters in WBS, I have almost always found her to be a pleasant and cheerful person, EXCEPT, for one fixation she has. She seems determined to get her hands around my neck again and finish the job she started when I met her at the Nashville bash in 1999. so far I have almost avoided her and a few thousand other people that have a desire to wring my neck.

Shanya and Jack are from Texas, (but they still are nice people.) and have been in 60+ for a little while. Shanya has a tendency to wake the room up and make it hop. Sure makes it hard to sneak a nap in in between posts. If I ever get down Texas way, they are a must to meet. With her sense of humor and Jack`s quiet ways, I have no doubt that such a visit would be anything but boring. I would probably have to sneak out with Jack to get some peace and quiet. No matter what I say Shanya, I still love you.
