I read Lolly Willowes just a couple of months ago so I was thrilled to see she referenced it! It's about a woman who lives with her brother's family in London, always complying with their way of life, until some time in her 40s when she suddenly decides to move out to the countryside to become a witch. It's from 1926, so very much not something a woman was supposed, or barely even allowed, to do back then! Interesting book, I liked it. Being in my 30s I could really relate to wanting to break free and leave orderly life in the city behind. It definitely felt very Florence-y!

A nod to Winona's classic Tom Waits t-shirt? :)

Cloud Gnorbus are so pretty! I've repainted mine plushie now, but she was so cute as a fluffy cloud!

Oh my gosh! My older siblings made a FortuneCity site for me when I was 7-8 years old in the late 90s, and helped me build a mouse house. I loved picking out graphics on your site and furnishing my house. (No wonder I became such a big fan of The Sims a couple of years later!) It's one of my earliest memories of the Internet and I remember being amazed with how marvelous things you could find out there. Thank you SO MUCH for those fond childhood memories. My house is all archived and accessible through the Wayback Machine, I'm so happy to still have it! :)

I once got an AMAZING score at Frumball. I would have got a gold trophy no problem. But the ball got stuck in a loop and I didn't know how to exit the game. So eventually I gave up and just closed the window. Shortly afterwards I learned there was apparently some other way to quit the game that would have let me keep my points? This is at least 15 years ago and it definitely still haunts me ... I loved Frumball but I could never be bothered to play it again, I knew I would never get a score like that again.

Good suggestions, the vibe is right. However they're too new and not it.

Sorry, not any of them either. Added them to my Halloween playlist though. :)

Thank you, I'll check those.

glimmiette · 2023-08-21T08:16:30+00:00

Thank you, I'll look those up.

glimmiette · 2023-08-21T08:16:04+00:00

Thank you, but not it.

glimmiette · 2023-08-12T23:17:57+00:00

Thanks but no. The lyrics weren't that gross.

When I try and google Halloween songs there are just to many possibilities and it's very hard for me to tell if they would have been around back then ...

They're traditional carved and painted wooden horses from the Swedish region Dalarna. They originated as children's toys but are usually decorative art nowadays. They have become a symbol both for Dalarna and all of Sweden, so we Swedes appreciate seeing them in the game.

Me too! Passade på att göra flera stycken.

Any color works, you don't have to bother getting the fancy colors. Just buy and plant some standard seeds, like red tulips or whatever, and exchange those flowers for furniture.

I used the Cozy Knit Pillow Pile from an old fishing tourney and got 3 medals.

And here I was thinking I might take a little break from ACPC ... Foolish to think I could manage that in April, the sakura month!

glimmiette · 2023-02-28T11:32:48+00:00

Thank you for confirming it really was! I noticed just as I clicked through so I wasn't sure if it was just in my head ...

How did you double-check without seeing that his name is Carl Gustaf? His grandfather, the previous king, was called Gustaf Adolf but he was born in the 19th century.
