I am.opening up while pretending to watch the new Dune. I've never seen the other "Dune" movies, but I enjoyed the new one. Well, I am about 5 hours in and still apparently have 3 more to go. This show is just not for me. It is trying too hard and I care zilch about any of the characters. Peter Jackson should give Dune a try. I hated the LOTR books but when they made the movies they gave the books some much needed editing and brought the characters to life. Dune is in desperate need of the same treatment to me. I feel like I am watching the English Patient sci Fi edition. Whatever is going to happen just freaking needs to happen, like 2 hours ago. I don't like the Lynch version ( and I love David Lynch) but much prefer that one over this. When will it end? Good lord, hate to yuck anyone else's yum, but can you tell I am so not a fan.

Does anyone have the hockey mask? The one that looks like Jason's mask from "Halloween". I was SURE I had it but I don't. I'm sure I have it, I'll send it over! Try the code: 4870-6027-8343 for a dirt path. It's a 9 slot path! Thanks! I'll try that path tomorrow because believe it or not I'm in bed already. lol. I have a good book, and I'm all showered and in PJs, so into bed it is. haha -- I don't mind 9 slots because I have quite a few free still, plus the ones that have this other path that I hate, so I'll delete those slots. Also, I remembered another thing that I SO WISH was in our upcoming update.... The ability to put down rugs outside, and hang things on simple panels. I'm sure there's some fancy coding reason they can't do it but I really would love it. Especially the rugs!

I often see you all mention opening up and being afk. Is there a setting or something that keeps internet from being disconnected while you’re away? I left to make dinner and got booted.

I don’t think I’ve read anything about this in the update, but I wish we had the ability to get more than one color of something in the dressing room — like three sweatshirts at once rather than leaving the dressing room and repeating the process twice.

I left to make dinner and got booted. you have to turn off sleep mode: Settings from main screen Sleep Mode Auto Sleep Never Also I find that if I have it running and in the cradle, it doesn't have as many communication errors. So when I am AFK I put it in the cradle

Good lord, hate to yuck anyone else's yum, but can you tell I am so not a fan. /cackle - I'm a LOTR fan, so maybe that correlates? I think watching the new "Dune" was better going into it not knowing anything. I can totally see how other people might not like it though. There's definitely some "get on with it" moments!

Well, I love the LOTR movies, just couldn’t get into the books. I am just so glad it is finally over. At least it was pretty.

We had to cancel, I wasn’t sure if my sibling was going to be here from NZ or not and I didn’t want my mom to be alone while starting her cancer treatments. Fortunately I was able to recoup my money from the special party tickets. I could have made a nice profit, but I just sold them for what I paid. They were 300.00, so I was not excited about losing that! Everything else was refundable, luckily. I know I am being a big baby about it, but I am really sad about it. This is the 4th Disney trip I have had to cancel. I feel like it might never happen. This one is really hard because it was a go up until 3 weeks ago so I had dining reservations made, Oogie Boogie party tickets purchased and had been looking forward to it so much. Compounded with worry and sadness about my mom is making this one really hard. OK, pity party over.

I would be having a pity party too... and it sounds like this is a great year to go with it being an anniversary year.. (or is that just one park?.. lol I don't know) You wanna hear a REAL pity party.. for years and years I been telling myself I am going to take my kids there... never once have we made it. I'm down to one 13 year old at home. And no Disney in sight either. Uggg this mamma feels like a huge failure. It sucks because we are not even close to either park. DH is not a fan of amusement parks so he is NO help. And then the cost of course... Plane tickets, hotel, Disney tickets, food and on and on.. It's a freaking fortune even on a budget. So every time I see a commercial or whatever.. I get all snooty and pouty about it.. LOL... so yeah, I'll join you in the pity party.. haha.. .. Honestly, I do hope you make it soon!

I will say that if your kids want to go to Disney they'll find a way when they get older. My dd has been pining for Disney World for years and years and years. Ds never seemed to care. I hate amusement parks, hate crowds, dislike the Disney franchise, etc. Well dd is now 26 and she had her first trip to Disney World this summer. Yes, Florida in the summer. I don't know if any of you remember rebelyelle who used to post here a lot (I tagged her just in case she still lurks)... Well she invited dd and a friend to go there along with another family...there were four kids total I think. Plane ticket paid, hotel paid, food paid, everything paid. Dd and friend were in charge of the kids at night so the adults could go out. It was a great introduction to the park and I know dd have a blast. Now she knows enough to plan her own trip one day. So if you hate the idea don't give in to kids. haha

I know how excited you were and can completely empathize with your feelings of having to cancel. I can't imagine how much worse it is on top of your Mom's treatments. I am crossing my fingers and sending all the Pixie Dust your way in hopes your Mom will recover and you'll make it down for the 50th.

I’m open with the extra marigolds decorations out for those that wanted a few. I haven’t had a chance to read the thread, life has been too busy darn it 😂. Anyway I’m afk, come grab some marigolds, shop, whatnot. 😀

So what was the update that happened this morning? I can't find anything about it. I assume it was to prepare for the big one. I don't remember us commenting on the ability to change your villagers to early birds or night owls with the new update? I'm very excited about that. ^.^

I was just thinking of that this morning when I was trying to give my daily gifts to the villagers who haven't given me their photos yet (once they give me that photo I basically put them on ignore, lol). Four of them and every single one was asleep.

My youngest, the 13 year old would go in a heartbeat just to go somewhere... lol.. but yeah she would like it. Although she isn't a huge ride type person.. I'm afraid we would be on the Dumbo ride more than one time.. haha...

There was an update today?? Can't wait to hear what this one is about.... I did something silly last night.. I went through all my DYIs to see what I was missing.. I have about 12 or so that I need. I think I will go to one of those treasure islands to find them. And going through them with a fine tooth comb I found some I didn't even realize I had! haha.

I think I was bell bombed too, I found a bag of money on my work bench area this am, I love how clever our bell bomber is! It is like an Easter egg hunt-which I love by the way and am totally going to make dilbert do for me this year after threatening to make him do it for years! Thank you bell bomber!!!
I am going to open up again here in a few, will be open all day but afk. Shop, pick pumpkins, check out free area, fish, etc.
I have the camel and a huge mess as I am trying to recreate my og neighborhood and it looks cuckoo over here.
Hope to visit some myself when I get home!

Fluff:How many played hours in ACNH do you have on your profile? [To find this information, go up to the icon in the top left of your screen and select your name (much as you do for a Friend Request) and then click "Profile". If ACNH was your most recent game, it should be at the top, but you can scroll through all your games if you like.] I'm surprised I only have 2,105 hours. ^.^ I'm behind you at 1,840 so far

Okay so guess what I gook on? Setting up my 82 y/o mama's island. She's had her game since last year but she can't decorate it, its too hard, and this is the woman who can't order from a large and varied menu because its too much to decide. LOL. She's had a hard time with my bro passing away last year and she's starting to get really forgetful so I am desperate to get her island done this week while I have her game. I brought it home w/me Saturday afternoon and I haven't stopped. DH and DD went to see Dune Sunday w/out me because I can't tear away from the game. I'm obsessed with finishing it. This game is the only thing that gives her pleasure these days and she got so bored with it that she stopped playing. I'm hoping towards the end of this week I will open up mom's gates and you guys can help me a bit with her museum (woefully empty of most stuff as she doesn't remember how to check for fakes and she seems to only buy fakes). Also, maybe the bell fairy can fly over and do her thing too? I know its a big ask but I'd reallyappreciate it. (she's listed as my mom 'granny' Two Trees island) on the list and I think lots of you OGs are already her friend. I will post a list of the art work mom needs and if anyone has a real that they don't mind sharing I'd be so so happy to turn this game back over to her on Saturday completely a whole new game. Part of my frenzy is I want this done so EYE can play with the new update before it lands I'm not run out of steam yet and I moved every single villager, every single building, re routed the river, blew up and built inclines, bridges and waterfulls. O M G lol. This is cray cray but its def a labor of love. Skelly, I'm so sorry about your momma and the tough times you are facing together. <hugs> eventually we all go through it and I don't take a single moment or day for granted with my parents. xoxoxoxo
