Be happy and enjoy - this is not solitaire !

Hugs !

I would be your neighbor and I am a nice person - really I am !

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love meeting new people and chatting with them on Farm Town. I love inviting people to my farm to harvest (even though I have to apologize ahead of time that I won't be able to hire them to plow), and I love going to other farms to harvest/plow/just chat and admire what they've accomplished. I even love adding buddies to my buddy list. My only problem with the neighbor system is that in order to have neighbors, I'd have to start adding people that I do not know in real life to my actual facebook friends list, which I use to keep track of friends who in recent, post-college years have scattered throughout the country. If I've known someone online for a very long time, I don't mind having a few people on my friends list that I've never physically met, but I don't want to become one of those friend collectors with 500 people they do not know, all for the sake of a game.

We have a buddy list in the game... I just don't understand why we can't use THAT for neighbor requests? I like going to my wall to see what my friends are up to... I don't want to have to sort through hundreds of random posts from total strangers just to find that one relevant post from someone I actually know.

And all I wanted was some storage... who knew it would be this much hassle?

Edit: Beautiful farm by the way, Ayah! Part of the reason I'm hanging onto my rivers is that I eventually want to layer them in a similar manner to what you've done. I just don't have anything to do with them in the meantime... and so much for storage.
