Facebook seems to be the spot where everyone wants to gather and post what they think, feel and do. I thought this was pointless. At first, I didn’t have a profile. But, then I thought … why not, so I got one to see what it was all about.

Once I created the profile, I began to look around. It didn’t take me very long to become bored with it, which caused to search for something other than posting random thoughts. That is when I came across Farmville.

Farmville is a cute game where you create your character and farm. It takes a while, but the more points and coins you earn, the more you rank up and able to buy various things. I have two sheep, two cows, two chickens and about four trees. Soon, I hope to have a horse, duck and a treehouse. I have added a picket fence with a mailbox. You can help your neighbors as well. You can have as many of the animals you want, you just have to pay for them. 

Now, I know this seems silly, but it really is fun once you dive into it. You earn coins/money by plowing, sowing and harvesting foods in your garden. The more points you earn, the more you level up. The more you level up, the more you can do and add to your farm. I can’t wait to get that horse.

Try Farmville for yourself, if you have a Facebook profile. Once you get started, you won’t want to stop. It is interestingly fun and attention-getting. Happy farming with Farmville!

When I think about and see the enormous variety of games available now, it makes me think back to the simpler games like Ms Pac Man. I can remember when I used to play this game, and how those stinkin’ enemies pestered the tough yellow female with a bow.

Eating the pellets, while chasing enemies and the many fruits was Ms Pac Man’s specialty. She was definitely in control, as she would go from this side to that side, up here and over there eating her way to rid the maze of the pellets in her path. She had to carefully dodge her enemies, as she traveled through the maze and eating her way out. The big pellets in the corners of the maze give Ms Pac Man the infinite power to go faster to eat her enemies, as she becomes invincible. Once she eats her enemies, their eyes will travel back to the middle and recreate - talk about having eyes on you!

Needless to say, the pellets do not last long, and soon her enemies will turn back and come for her. Then the race is on again. Ms Pac Man must eat all the pellets before you can complete the stage. The more fruit you eat, the higher the score, which is helpful when trying to earn extra men … so eat healthy!
