Dear FarmVille

Dear FarmVille,

I have admitted to being an addict. I plant my crops according to my daily schedule and harvest faithfully. On a day where I have an early morning glucose test and should be earning enough coins to once again expand (and make room for my herd of ridiculously large baby elephants), it is extremely annoying to have persistent connectivity issues which prevent me from harvesting and planting before I need to leave. I repeatedly refreshed enough times to harvest my tomatoes, but am not sure I will have the time or patience to plant a new crop. I will likely fall short of my coin goal for the day. Don't make me stomp my foot and pout.

By the way, this error message...

...is RIDICULOUS!!! A FEW DAYS?! If I came back in a few days all of my crops will be dead! I have some grapes that will need harvesting in a few hours...please let me harvest the crop...I can't let the whole spread go to waste!

*snicker* you said "harvest"

I know someone who knowingly let their blueberries die the other day

"I can't let the whole spread go to waste"... because it's not generally a waste when all is working well? Who do you feed your crop to?

...other Ig Nobel-honored research suggests that farmers can benefit from improved human-bovine relations. Researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom won the veterinary-medicine prize for their work showing that "Bessie" is likely to produce more milk than "No. 5863329."

"On farms where cows were called by name, milk yield was 258 liters higher than on farms where this was not the case," the researchers wrote in an abstract for their paper, "Exploring Stock Managers' Perceptions of the Human-Animal Relationship on Dairy Farms and an Association with Milk Production."
