When I realised I wanted to buy stuff so I could play longer, I realised that buying stuff is destructive as I need to play less and do more RL stuff...however, as we teach the littleones, need and want are two different things! Portia: I applaud your self-control. My mom (who had a French mother) used to have a saying "chacun a son gout" (sorry I'm not including any of the proper accent punctuations.  Roughly translated, it means "each to one's own taste". Things I could never see myself spending time and/or money on other people find worthwhile, or even essential to their well-being. ::shrugs::

I'm grateful to the people who do spend money on SN since they help keep it going. If Mytona wasn't making a profit off the game, it would have been shut down long ago. I'm happy that they don't tempt me more often -- this year I've probably only spent the price of going out to the movies a few times on this game. So, I don't feel I have to join Seekers Notes Anonymous yet!

But I most definitely spend more time than I should on the game. I'm trying to get balance and step away to get a few other things done, like gardening, laundry and cleaning out the garage. It's just that playing SN is so much more enjoyable than any of those things - LOL.

Cheers to all, M
