I've been practicing fishing and so far I've caught a whole family of guppies and one lonely bass. I also have an old boot and tin can. Never thought an old boot or tin can could swim out with a fishing line till now! Still need much more practice and more money before I venture into the upgraded rods and bait or try the other fishing holes.
For the past week I've had a horrible time trying to access the game servers to play jigsaw puzzles or cards. A few times I was in the middle of solving a puzzle when the game quit on me completely! crying Now when I try to access the puzzles servers I get a frozen window.. IF I can get in at all ! Sometimes I don't even get that far! Sometimes when choosing which server I want, I get an error screen telling me my account isn't accepted. eek confused neutral stare Wth is up with that?! question
I learned how to make a small profit off of buying and selling crumpled newspapers and tokens. Dunno how people sell their ink for 100 ea. I can't get people to buy mine when I price them at 95! But, I've been pretty lucky buying bottles of ink for 25-75 ea. I'm also now the proud owner of 4 Gracie's soccer balls. Waiting for the value to go up a bit before I sell. Also now own 5 alien orbs. I have a serious problem. I can't resist buying cheapie things. xd
I'm STILL tryin to figure out where the heck to find Golden Legs bugs to make Gold Ink! How do so many people get gold ink?! And where do the Great Monarch butterflies hide?! Ahhh the mysteries of Gaia life! smile On the upside?.. .. I figured out how to add my sig finally! And added my Runescape stats too, in case anyone cared.
I also figured out, after trying numerous times to figure it out, how to use my car in a rally. But the car didn't look anything like my car! So why bother having a car and fixing it up? Stupid stupid stupid! And when the rally started, I had no clue how to make my car go, so I started clicking on the road like mad! I have no idea how the other person beat me. I didn't even get coins for participating. cry
I posted a few times in the forums. I found one thread that relates to Runescape fans. Seems like some very nice people! I think I'll be posting in that one often! A lot of the forum threads in this game are sickening. I can't believe the Gaia owners allow kids to cyber with anyone and everyone in this game. There are so many dangers in doing this and these kids don't have a clue. Actually, some will say they have a clue, but they really don't. I've been an online chatter since 1999. I've seen alot. I've met a LOT of people and made a LOT of friends online. I've been around. I learned a LONG time ago to never EVER believe anyone online until you've known them for at least a year!! People will lie about their age, their marriage, their family, and their gender. People will tell you or show you ANYTHING just to get you to cyber with them! They will tell you they love you. They will tell you you are their soul mate. They will tell you they are your age, or live near you. They will tell you they are single (even if they are married, with 5 kids!). They will tell you they are 16 or 17, when they are really 25-65 years old! They will pretend to be a girl, when they are really some perverted old man using boys to get his jollies. Or pretend to be a hunk, but is really some twisted lesbian getting her jollies. They will show you a picture of themselves but it is really some screenshot of a model or someone else they found on Myspace or another website.
So yeah, don't believe everything people tell you online. There are weirdos out there taking advantage of everyone that believes their lies. And don't think they won't stalk you!!! I knew an American woman from another program who met a very polite and funny British guy. She moved to the UK to live with him. He was really a drunk who beat her often. Eventually she got pregnant. He hit her so hard she almost lost the baby. Turns out he had a criminal record for beating up women. And she didn't know he was a drunk till it was too late. He drank so much, he couldn't keep a job and they were always poor. She had to work full time to support them both and he drank away their food money. Eventually she left him, but couldn't afford to return to her family in the states. Another online friend of ours from Australia paid for her to fly there. She had the baby there and eventually earned enough money to return home to the states. The British man followed her to Australia and is still there trying to find her. I still keep in touch with her and our good friend in Australia. She now lives far away from her family, just in case her ex tracks down her parents.
That is just 1 of many stories of online relationships that I've encountered. Don't set yourself up for trouble people. Don't share your phone number, address, school name, city, street name, your last name, or your parent's name with ANYONE online!
Ok, stepping off my soap box now. Sorry for the lecture. Just that one of my pet peeves is that Gaia allows this crap to go on right under their noses. The minimal age to play Gaia is 13. To me, 13 is much too young to be reading some of this stuff I see in the forums or in the chat room titles. And yet we're not allowed to report it. Ok, gonna go now before I start another rant! evil evil evil biggrin
