Any Facebook farmers here? I want neighbors!!

I have a small virtual farm on Facebook and thought it would be cool if i had some fellow MB enthusiasts as neighbors.

The worst part is I have a ton of facebook "friends". 977 as of writing this. I've been pruning the amount because I have just too many facebook friends. The problem is that I know everyone and can accurately tell you everything about said person. I made it to R and I had only deleted 40 people

I have no desire to play those games. Same goes for World of Warcraft. They're too addicting.

Edit: Hatters, farmville is a facebook game much like roller coaster tycoon, simcity, and the like.

All the thrill with none of the spill? I can't answer the question. Sorry.

For all of us who don't have the pleasure of the real thing!

I'm on FB but I just can't get involved in those long term games, etc... I waste enough time just messaging my friends!

Bill, my two oldest kids used to maintain my "farm", and got it fairly sizeable, but ever since they got their own FB accounts and started their own farms I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't be a very helpful neighbor. I'd be happy to, though. I'll look you up.

I'm on FB a fair amount but just don't have the time for the games, although many of them look fun. My wife, OTOH, has a farm, a mob, an island, a restaurant...

Since i'm medically retired I've got all kinds of time on my hands so the farm is not much trouble for me to manage and to be honest is enjoyable for me.

I used to live with my best friend in another town and just moved back to Houston. This friend is pretty much on every FB game imaginable and is very far along on most all of them. She's paid by the state to care for her invalid mother 5 days a week, and she's on the computer nearly all of that time.

I too have fallen victim to the time sucking game of FarmVille! There are a couple others which have pulled me in also, FishVille, Mafia Wars and Cafe World....

Diesel4me, I will be adding you soon. I need to expand my plot of land once more...
