OK, ctown28 mentioned this in one of my other threads, about wondering whose the oldest Sleuth. Now, it's got my curosity aroused as to whose the oldest Sleuth that joined this game, and also the oldest playing todate? If there's already a thread addressing this, I humbly apologize.

Ah, lilangel, thanks for the correct title “Wolly Bully.” There are several great songs, such as “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini,” that was catchy and is still a hit today, and there’s an ad on TV about losing weight that plays this song. By the way, no amount of money could pay me to wear one in public…LOL.

On a serious note, the top ten songs in 1960 were the following:
(1) The Twist-Chubby Checker, (and I love to do the twist), (2) Beyond the Sea-Bobby Darin, (3) Are you Lonesome Tonight-Elvis Presley, (4) Wild One-Bobby Rydell, (5) Volare-Bobby Rydell, (6) I’m sorry-Brenda Lee, (7) Money (That’s what I want)-Barrett Strong, (8) This Magic Moment-the Drifters, (9) It’s Now or Never-Elvis Presley, and(10) Wonderful World-Sam Cooke.

My favorite artist and dream lover was “Elvis Presley”…Yeah! I actually kissed him….that’s right….I did; but………unfortunately…… in a dream…ha! Oh, and I married Elvis, which was none other than, Texan, ha!. I’ve always told him, “You’re my Elvis,” and sometimes I think he thinks he is, ha! Oh my goodness……it’s true……”the King is alive and well in Texas”….LOL! OK, back to a little history on the real deal, Elvis, left the army and reentered the music scene in 1960, and soon released his first single: “O Sole Mio, (It’s Now or Never).” Then how could a girl forget, “Are you Lonesome Tonight,” which my Elvis sings to me, and it makes me cry, but not for joy....ha! Just kidding. Then there was: “There is A Summer Place,” which my first boyfriend and I use to play together on the piano. That is until he became my nightmare. Now you are probably wondering, “How old were you you when you started dating?” I was young, but very mature for my age..LOL.

Ah, jojo, it’s good you dropped by and added your remarks. Back when I first joined Sleuth, I played all night. The next day I was so numb I feel my legs, get up out of my chair or do anything. Talk about addiction, or drugs, you would have thought I was on something….LOL. I think that is when Texan started singing, “Are you Lonely Tonight.” Poor baby, guess he was feeling mighty lonely

Here is a quick Trivia during 1960’s

1) Best Picture Oscar Winner
2) Grammy for Best New Artist
3) Grammy Record of the Year

I know I’ve rambled on and on, and you’re probably wondering will I ever shut up?” Good news, I’m only making a correction to my last remark above, as follows, to-wit: “the next day I was so numb that I couldn’t feel my legs, get up out of my chair, or do anything. Yep, there were times I wished I had something to take…LOL! It was well worth every hour spent though

Ah, the good ole' days when I used to stay up until midnight server time, waiting for the next day's cases. I'd then do them all right then and there. And then I'd have none in the morning. :( So I'd have to wait up until midnight again. :D

Oh, how I also miss the old sidebar... ACH! or the few days when I had no sidebar at all.

You're gonna give me nightmares, Jojo! *tries to forget sleepless nights on treasure hunts and too many cases*

This detective hit 1000 days old today. I refuse to see how old my first detective is now. There are too many digits in my age anymore.
