Who is doing Farmville?

14 years ago

OMG - So my son wants to make a farm & I help him set it up on DH's facebook 2 nights ago. My family is obsessed right now with our crops - LOL!

Anybody else obsessed with this silly game?

I have a very neglected farm with a boatload of coin on Farmtown on facebook. I don't know if its the same as farmville or not. My DD and her college friends are hooked on their crops on Farmville.
Finally, a game that requires no eye hand coordination!

I have a daughter in law (50yrs) who is obsessed with this game. She invited me, but just can't get into it. Major time investment and thousands are playing this thing. Another game she plays is a shopping one for clothes and accessories, depending upon where you decide to go on an outing.

Is it worth a trip to Farmville,VA to buy furniture?
Q
Comments (6)
I used to live in Charlottesville, VA and it was a 2 hour drive to Farmville to shop at Green Front. Absolutely it's worth it! Incredible selection of mid-high end furniture arrayed in 9 tobacco warehouses --- which are HUGE! And they have an incredible assortment of hand-knotted Oriental carpets -- over 3,000 of them. I've purchased quite a bit of furniture there, plus several Oriental carpets at tremendous savings. They delivered to my home in Charlottesville....Things I could take home in my car, I did. Also, whenever I had guests, they wanted to drive to Farmville to shop for furniture. I definitely recommend it. Plan to shop all day....There are several nice hotels/motels in the area if you want to make a weekend of it. To see the brands they carry, visit their home page and you'll see all of the brands. I'm very, very happy with everything I purchased there. Do plan to walk between the warehouses, which are all clustered in downtown Farmville. And then you'll be walking through these huge warehouses, with their multiple levels. So wear comfortable shoes. And dress warmly, because the warehouses are not heated to normal room temps....they're heated, but not to 72 degrees. Here is a link that might be useful: Green Front Furniture

Snidely, I got a wonderful, thoughtful thank you note from a man not long ago. He is someone we don't know well, but when he was younger he was hired to drive for someone we are related to by marriage when that gentleman was beginning stages of Alzheimer's. A faithful companion and caring personal employee. He's no longer driving on the freeway himself, and twice DH has called him to see if he'd like to be picked up for an out of town event. He accepted, and followed up later with very kind handwritten note (beautiful handwriting). I found it gracious and thoughtful. Suzieque, you may not know it but you've already been generous with your neighbor. You've provided him with an opportunity to show his son its important to be a helpful part of his community. A lesson DH learned very young, and still follows today with neighbors and an elderly former neighbor. And she does try to repay him, but knowing her limited means it will frustrate him if she buys him something. Her cinnamon rolls he will happily accept. I don't think you are creating a circumstance of expectance if you occasionally treat them though, gift card for a movie or coffee bar (where they usually have Italian fruit sodas appropriate for fathers and teens both). A thank you note other times is more than enough. DH will still talk about being a boy and having his mother send him to the next farm to put in hay for the widow there. I don't know if you are familiar with the process of cutting, baling, loading into the truck then into the barn, but it's hot, dirty, prickly work. He was paid in popsicles, his mother wouldn't allow him to complain or take more ;) He laughs about it even now.

What do I do? I need advice from people who know lawns!

On the back of the bag of the turf builder, it said to do it once a week for 4 weeks. And it shows what the grass should be doing in each week. I got to application 3 and everything was fine. I stopped it there because then the heat came and turned everything yellow. In the picture, i applied turf builder to that area. It was great until it turned 90 and above for the weekend and it all turned yellow except for that one really green edge. I applied it there because the rest of that grass belongs to my neighbor. The watering schedule is sun, tues, and thursday at 6am for 10 minutes. The sprinklers are set up to cover the whole area that is my yard in the frpnt and back, so I can get an inch of water with those in 10 minutes. According to the landscaping company. But that just started this past sunday. A month ago i would do a spray with the hose every other day. I dont know how much i watered, but i would skip a few days after a rainy day. Maybe I watered too much. (-.-) The HOA landscapers are not optional for my neighborhood sadly. So i cannot control the mowing aspect of my lawn care, but I can control the water system and everything else.

Do you know anyone who’s had NPH?

Thank you 2 Katz, he is being discharged tomorrow. MSK has very strict visitor policies but he was allowed 1 visitor a day, either 8-12 or 4-8, form filled out online prior to visit and you’re screened once you enter the building. If it keeps the patients and staff COVID free, I have absolutely no objections. They have assured me that this is now a correct setting for the excess fluid and I assured them that there would be issues if he was released and we had to return. We’ve been dealing with this for over 4 1/2 years (stage 4) and I have to honestly say that we’ve never had a problem with MSK, his physicians are great to us, his neuro oncologist called me on my way home. Thank you for your kind thoughts and have a very happy and healthy thanksgiving!

Not any more. I didn't know what it was all about when my friend told me about it. I tried it and found it to be a huge time suck, so I quit messing with it. I don't mess with any of those games on FB, even tho I get tons of requests.

Hate it. Some FB "adult" friends and family use the application. Seems a bit silly as an adult application, but whatever floats your boat I guess. Different strokes, at least your FB friends aren't playing Mafia Wars. Don't even get me started on that!

My dh, older boys and I live for our farms!! Guess it's silly. But, pretty sure as an adult, I could be indulging in MUCH worse obsessions/addictions :) My husband will text me from work "can you gift me a horse today?". I message my kids when they have their computer time from the other room. Letting them know I need more chickens, pigs, fig trees, etc.
Yes, rushing home from dinner last wk with a friend, because I was worried my blueberries were going to wilt. MAY be too much, LOL.
I have over a million dollars, but I'm not big on trying to make money. I'm all about the decorating. I have my farmhouse, my little guest cottage. White picket fences everywhere. So, basically..I'm living through farmville, lol. It's my "dream" house/land :) :)

My 15 yr. old niece enjoys Farmville. She's a gifted student who attends a very challenging school, so I'm glad that she spends some time doing something frivolous & fun. When I was there for Thanksgiving she showed me her farm & crops & I thought it was so cute & very unlike her other very intense pursuits. Being on the farm gives her a little break!

My younger son (college freshman) was on Farmville, but doesn't spend much time there now because of other computer gaming he does, and hopefully because of school....:-). He too is at a very demanding school, so I am pleased that he has the outlets.

I am also on there, and I do find it fun - but for me it is about 'decorating' and color play with my farm. I do find it amazing that people spend real money to buy buildings, etc for their farms. I must admit that I do check daily (and sometimes not soon enough, having had some wilted blueberries myself! LOL)

" I tried it and found it to be a huge time suck..."

Heh, you could say we MOL live Farmville everyday, and the real ones are like that too. I'll be donning coat and gloves in the next 10 minutes so we can hopefully have the outside chores done before dark. The high today has been about 29, and after sunset it's supposed to drop to a brisk 14 degrees, not the kind of weather you want to be out hauling water in if you can help it. :^D

When DH started a facebook page, I called it "crackbook." DH is more interested in the crops than my DS - Oh well! I had only heard of Farmville from a friend making fun of her 13 yo playing a game for children (Dh is kinda childlike:):)

Atleast he is not spending money on it!! I asked about a house & he said he has to wait on that.....he wants to be able to plant onions!! G-o-o-f-y :)

Littledog - I hope you have a warm fire to come back to ~ brrrrr

Well, I just joined after reading this thread. Scooby, this is all your fault! I can't figure out how to get money. I don't have any friends either. I am growing poinsettas!
