Hello, my name is Barbara and I'm a FarmVille-aholic. I finally admitted that I needed to seek help when I realized that I have 26 FarmVille "friends" and don't even know who some of them are! It started out so small with a small patch of farm land, a few animals and planting a few crops. It was a fun time between myself and a few friends but has now mushroomed into an obsession that has such a strong hold on me from the moment I wake up until I turn off the computer at night. I'm afraid I will go into wirthdrawal if I miss just one day of planting, harvesting crops, or helping neighbors. I have found myself planning my life around the growing time of vegetables and flowers; not to mention brushing cats, collecting eggs, or milking cows! If I know that I will not be able to farm for a day or two, I plant accordingly....longer growing crops. My biggest nightmare is to open up FarmVille and find withering crops and knowing that I should have planned better and failed. I find myself quick changing the screen if my husband walks in the room while I'm on the computer so I don't have to bare hearing "Farming again" along with the roll of his eyes. I have resorted to getting up at 3:00 a.m. to get some farming in before he wakes up....but, that only lasts for a few hours before I need my next "fix". Or, I get a message from someone saying they have left me a gift or request; my eyes light up, my heart skips a beat and I cannot get to the FarmVille site fast enough to see what awaits me. My daughters have farms also and I actually got angry at one of them for letting their crops bite the dust; I didn't care that she is a single mother of two, working a full time job and has a piece of crap for a computer.....how dare she let her crops die in the fields!! I actually offered to take over her farm and did for a while until she had the nerve to change her Facebook password; locking me out. Smart girl!
What really worries me is that it hasn't stopped at just one farm. I now have two other farms and three aquariums; am sending hugs and flowers not to mention the stress of achieving trophies or ribbons for the cleanest fish tank, adopting the most lost animals or sea creatures or planting the most trees ("Tree Hugger Award"). Every day when I open Facebook, there is a new farm, treasure hunt, aquarium or town to adopt and take care of. When does it stop? When do you say enough is enough? When do you realize that your life has been taken over by a "virtual" world with the click of a mouse (not the rodent)?
My name is Barbara....is anyone out there interested in being my sponsor?

I will be your sponsor if you tell me your tricks for getting FARMVILLE CASH!!!!!! I need it, I gotta have it, NOW. Oh, sorry, that's not being a very good sponsor, is it. Oh well, maybe someone else will help.
Sorry, but I don't know the trick for that one.....I have been stuck on 5 FV for months. I plant, I harvest, I help neighbors, I expand, I plant trees, I give homes to animals...I do everything short of spending real money (which I refuse to do) or giving up my first born and it doesn't work! Shelly had a smaller farm than me and she had more cash!!
