To whom it may concern

So busy have I been squeezing, milking, mining, harvesting, planting, cooking, hoarding...that I forgot myself for a moment and when in Alakol open house I met another glitch who had sprinkled the pigs, hens, butterflies that they may let loose their goodies - I continued doing my thing petting myself on the back for being such a good person as not to pick up anything that had dropped and even more - letting said glitch know that not everyone was as unscrupulous as me (what an amazing sense of self-worth have I??) and his reply reminded me of what it is that I love about this game.  He said, and I am not quoting verbatim here but you'll get the gist, that he didn't mind and that I could have helped myself as for him it was the sharing in game he liked.  When I picked myself off the floor from where I had dropped off my self appointed pedestal..I felt that I needed to share with anyone else here who plays this game because it's like 'feeding the birds in the park' - not about the hustle and bustle and general me-lee.  Although there is nothing wrong per se about that aspect either but it is nice to be nice and smell the flowers sometimes...hmm flowers...I wonder if I should suggest...nah!! haha

    Someone once left a bottle of milk at the door of every house on my street... I got such a kick out of it that ever since then I've made a point of leaving milk for my neighbors any time I go to my house.  

    I also enjoy bestowing Random Kindness on unsuspecting Glitchen and giving away the occasional Gameshow Ticket.

  • my neighbors leave little meals at each door.  It's fun to see what people cook up each day.

  • That's one of the things that made me fall in love with this game. I hope and pray that the community stays the same. =)

  • The community sharing of this game is my antidote to the real world.

  • A neighbour on my street in  Marypole Mount,  Groddle Meadow,  Bartuzzi, gave each of us a gnome. Now that is generosity!

  • Whoa! A Garden Gnome for everyone? That's generous all right.

  • I try to help my neighbours within my limits too. For now it's mostly leaving a few meal outside my door or buying a pig from an auction to put it on my neighborhood plus taking care of it so it doesn't die. I too have seen the milkman thing before, only that the person left about 3 bottles per neighbour and I've been planning to do the same as soon as I get butterflies and a butterfly milker at home. I feel great when I have good neighbours so I try to give others the same experience. :D

  • I've gotta say, loving the responses and the ideas - it truly has no limitations and great to have such incredible gamers who are like minded.
