Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!


@SirLionelNigelConrad: Dude, I have no car. I have no car because I can't afford one. I work at the only store in my tiny town, which has less than 2,000 people living in it. I work maximum hours at that store. But I still don't make enough for the cheapest internet from the only company that serves my area. To afford internet, I would have to either not pay my electric bill, or I only pay part of my rent. Both of these are not solutions that will actually work.

Not everybody has the same ability as you do, to earn more money. The resources that are available to me are not the same as the ones that are available to you. So please, don't make it out to be like I'm lazy, or not willing to do the work. I am. I am working my a$$ off right now. But it still isn't enough.

So thanks for making me feel like a complete loser who can't succeed at life like you can. Really helping the situation. (That was sarcasm, in case you didn't catch it.)

Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!


So, I'm in the process of moving back into my mother's house, as my father is planning to get rid of his house and spend his retirement traveling around the country in a small RV he just bought. Luckily, she lives right across the street from where I work, so it's actually not a bad situation.

The problem? SHE HAS NO INTERNET.

Now, internet where she lives is usually around $80 month. Pretty steep, esecially when I need to give her around $400 a month - or $100 a week, for rent and other bills.

So, now I'm down to having no internet, unless you count my 5 gb phone data plan, which I am blowing through at a rather alarming rate.

Ugh. This sucks.

I was wondering why I suddenly had all these items I KNOW I didn't buy ...

Thank you so much for this guide! It makes things a lot easier.

One suggestion, though - include how to edit your forum signature. It took me forever to find that!

Am I the only one who received a whole bunch of items in my inventory - which I definitely didn't buy - when the battery was filled the first time?

You know, I was looking forward to a nice stroll through the Greenhouses, to ease my frazzles nerves - I'm scared of the dark. But what did I find instead? Somebody DESTROYED the greenhouses! *screams in rage*
