Barn Buddy Tips
Clear weeds and bugs
We can earn experience points when clearing the weeds and bugs. So the more weeds and bugs you clear, the faster you will level up. When you want to ask somebody to put the weed and bug at your farm, don’t! Instead, ask him to put at both your common friend’s farm and you clear it there. Why? Because if you clear at your place, you will earn only points but if you clear the weed at someone’s farm, you will earn both experience points and coins.
Steal
Clearing weed and debugging to earn coin is slow. To earn coin, don’t make the debugging and clearing weed your main source. Instead, go for stealing. One unit of turnip (the cheapest) is already worth 23 coins, equivalent to 23 clicks of clearing weeds.
Remember to steal.. steal even there is dog. Look at the food container. If it is empty, then it’s good, he won’t bite. Even if the food is full, he will bite, but don’t be afraid, just go ahead and steal :D You might get bitten a few times and drop some coins, but it still worth it. I got bitten 8 times which causes me to lose 30 coins.. but one pumpkin worth 53 coins, so I still earn 23 coins.
What to plant?
Pea will give the highest profit per hour.
Yes, each harvest will give you experience point. So some people will choose to plant turnip for the shortest growth time so they will harvest more frequently and earn more point. But each harvest will give only few points equivalent to clearing few weeds. On top of that, he also need frequently monitor his plant and harvest.
Choosing plant with longer growth time will give you the freedom to leave your farm unattended for a longer time. But if you are addicted and cannot live without looking at your farm, you can opt for pea which will need harvesting every day and gives the best profit.
Using fertilizer will reduce your profit. One weak fertilizer which reduces one hour, costs 50 coins whereas your highest possible profit per hour is only 25.31 coins for pea (max). So try to reduce the usage of fertilizer unless it is necessary.
Protect your crops from being stolen
How to do this? You need a connection which is faster than the thief. Or else, one second of lagging time will cause your few units being stolen (if the thief is there getting ready countdown together with you). One unit of pea worth 41 coins and usually there will be minimum one unit get stolen if not 2 or 3. So to maximize your profit, ensure NOT even one unit goes missing!
How to do this? Easy.. use fertilizer. When the unit is 1 hour to harvest, use fertilizer to make it ripe and harvest IMMEDIATELY. Yes as said earlier, using fertilizer will reduce your profit a little. But it’s still better than your crops get stolen. Two units of pea is 82 coins, one fertilizer only cost you 50 coins.
That's my little sharing about Barn Buddy.. Have fun farming.. ^O^

Love and Anger
Why do we yell in anger?
A sage asked his disciples, 'Why do people yell at each other when they are upset?'
The men thought for a while, 'Because we lose our calm' said one.'we yell for that.'
'But, why to yell when the other person is just next to you?' asked the sage.' Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you yell at a person when you're angry?'
The men gave some other answers but none satisfied the sage. Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must yell, to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to yell to hear each other through that great distance.'
Then the sage asked, What happens when two people fall in love? They do not yell at each other but talk softly, why? Their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...
The sage continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'
Then the sage said, 'When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

Finding and Keeping a Life Partner
This is one of the forwarded emails that I have received recently.. I personally think that it is a meaningful one. It is quite lengthy but worth reading.. :)
***********************************************************
FINDING AND KEEPING A LIFE PARTNER
by Dov Heller, M.A.
When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr./Miss. Right!
If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married, they'll say: 'We're in love'; I believe this is the ..1 mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based on love. Though this may sound 'not politically correct', there's a profound truth here.
***************
Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage. When the other ingredients are right, then the love will come. Let me say it again: 'You can't build a lifetime relationship on love alone'; You need a lot more!!! Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious about finding and keeping a life partner.
QUESTION ..1: Do we share a common life purpose?
Why is this so important? Let me put it this way: If you're married for 20 or 30 years, that's a long time to live with someone. What do you plan to do with each other all that time? Travel, eat and jog together? You need to share something deeper and more meaningful. You need a common life purpose.
Two things can happen in a marriage: (1) You can grow together, or (2)you can grow apart. 50% of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life! Bottom line; marry someone who wants the same thing.
QUESTION ..2: Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this person?
This question goes to the core of the quality of your relationship. Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust ' i.e.. trust that I won't get 'punished'; or hurt for expressing my honest thoughts and feelings. A colleague of mine defines an abusive person as someone with whom you feel afraid to express your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel emotionally safe with the person you plan to marry.
QUESTION ..3: Is he/she a mensch?
A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. How can you test? Here are some suggestions. Do they work on personal growth on a regular basis? Are they serious about improving themselves? A teacher of mine defines a good person as someone who is always striving to be good and do the right. So ask about your significant other: What do they do with their time? Is this person materialistic? Usually a materialistic person is not someone whose top priority is character refinement.
There are essentially two types of people in the world: (1) People who are dedicated to personal growth and (2) people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.
QUESTION ..4: How does he/she treat other people?
The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. By giving, we mean the ability to give another person pleasure.
Ask: Is this someone who enjoys giving pleasure to others or are they wrapped up in themselves and self-absorbed? To measure this, think about the following: How do they treat people whom they do not have to be nice to, such as waiters, bus boys, taxi drivers, etc.. How do they treat their parents and siblings? Do they have gratitude and appreciation? If they don't have gratitude for the people who have given them everything; can you do nearly as much for them? You can be sure that someone, who treats others poorly, will eventually treat you poorly as well.
QUESTION ..5: Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married?
Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to 'improve'; them after they're married. As a colleague of mine puts it: 'You can probably expect someone to change after marriage for the worse' If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them. In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart. It pays to be as objective as possible when you are dating; to be sure to ask questions that will help you get to the key issues. Falling in love is a great feeling, but when you wake up with a ring on your finger, you don't want to find yourself trouble because you didn't do your homework.
*******************
Another perspective...
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention...Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones dont appreciate you?
Which ones make you feel good, praises you, boosts you with loving and caring words or annotations.
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
**********************
An African proverb states, 'Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye'; Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important.
Do you bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare and control?
What do you bring to the relationship?
Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.
****************
If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and 'a life'; you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.
WHAT KEEPS A RELATIONSHIP STRONG IS:
1. TRUST
2. COMMUNICATION
3. INTIMACY
4. A SENSE OF HUMOR
5. SHARING TASKS
6. DAILY EXCHANGES (meal, shared activity, hug, call, touch, notes,etc.)
7. SHARING COMMON GOALS AND INTERESTS
8. GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE TO GROW WITHOUT FEELING INSECURE
9. GIVING EACH OTHER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND ASSURANCES OF COMMITMENT
10. CONCERN AND CARE FOR YOUR LOVER IN YOUR OWN WAYS.
If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment withdrawal, abuse, neglect, and dishonesty; and pain will replace.
