Wheel of Fortune at Valley View Casino

Tomorrow we embark to the Valley View Casino to try out for the Wheel of Fortune auditions. We saw what it was like at Viejas a while back, when they were holding auditions for Deal or No Deal. I can only imagine how busy it is going to be there. I hope it goes well though.

FarmVille Update

My previous FarmVille data is getting lots of visitors, so I figure that I better update the information like I said I would. I'll try and do a screen shot so that those of you who don't have excel can still see and use the information.

I developed this table, with my wife's help, to know best which crop gives me the most money. I originally did the calculation based on time. In other words, how quickly I could harvest the field, plant new crops and harvest again. I'll provide as much as I can but I want to break it down by their harvest time, so you can see how much more the raspberries get you, than say, the strawberries.

I hope this helps, I would appreciate any feedback. I normally don't hear much. Good luck with your farming.

My wife mentions Farm Ville and has a document that those of you with newer versions of Word can open: http://www.ohpishposh.com/

For those of you reading, lets get into it shall we.

The crops are separated into categories by hours to harvest. You can figure out what you should plant and how much you'll get based on that.

Lets look at the following example:

 

In line 4 we have Raspberries. What this table says is that when you plant it, you won't get any additional harvesting experience, hence the 0 in column C. It will take 2 hours to harvest. It seems for $46, so when you subtract how much it cost to buy it, your profit is $26 per raspberry, as you can see in column H. You have to plow in order to plant. Each time you plow it costs $15 per square. After we subtract that from our $26 profit, we now have $11. This means, every square you click and plant raspberries, you will each $11/square. This is actually pretty good. You can see from this table that when they briefly offered Superberries, it was the crop of choice. The bad thing is, if you don't return and harvest your crop in time...

Here is the rest of the data that I have so far:
 

Okay, now lets broaden this information a bit and give you an idea of how much you would get if you planted it in every square of your farm that is: 12 X 12, 14 X 14, and so on:




I hope this information is clear and helpful. Got any tips or requests, comments, then please reply or email me at mrmcqueen328@aol.com. Thanks and enjoy your farming.

Block Play

Today, Ty and I started playing with blocks. They are called MegaBlocks. For his age, I think they work well. I had Lego's when I was growing up but I think we'll have to wait a bit for him to play with them because of the chocking hazard. He doesn't seem ready to really play with them yet either. He likes to take what I make and take it apart. He did put a couple pieces together on his own. We'll see how he does in the next few days. He cried when I took them out and he loves to chew on them. I'd leave them in there for him to play with but he might step on them and hurt himself...

Farm Ville on Facebook

09/07/09 - I have updated my info and posted it here:

http://www.ohpishposh.com/poshdaddy/2009/09/farm-ville-update.html

My wife and I have found an entertaining way to kill time at home. It is as it sounds, a farm based game that we have been enjoying for the past couple of days. You grow crops for coins. These coins can be used to purchase farm animals, more crops, decorations and farm equipment. My apologies to our contacts on Facebook for all the success messages. Everytime you make an achievement, it sends a little message out to your friends.

If a person likes playing games online and participating with friends, particularly those they share their lives or pictures with, this is a game you should try.

When I get serious about any game, I try and figure out the best way to make money, the fastest way to make money or whatever information I want. I will share the file with you so that it may help in your Farm Ville endeavors. I'll try and keep it updated. It should be sufficient for someone just starting out. I hope it makes sense to you.

P.D.
