definetely, I'm using that account search now too, but wasn't there some years ago when the achievements came out so was harder to know what you had or not, and I never really bought items for my hoarding, I usually just throw in all I get from quests if I don't have it or just randomly restock at shops, and then of course festivity items, those are always a pain to check.

Oh that's too bad that you sold it off before you realized that there was another tier. I think that's what you meant, cause I think the top tier is 45K on that one. They call that the super shop achievement now and I can never remember if it's 40K or 45K that's the top, but I reached that easily too. I was SO used to doing massive shopping of cheap stuff (from my first acct) that I had it on this one after about 6 months.

You're doing VERY well on the other one! :)

I am past my bed time (it's 4 PM) and too tired to respond to your comment, but as to where I'm from: I'm FROM the midwest, but unfortunately don't live there now. I was born in Chicago, we moved to a small town in SE Wisconsin close to the WI and IL border when I was three. It was a safe/peaceful place to grow up in the 60's. People didn't lock their houses and if it was REALLY cold they would even leave their cars running (and unattended) if they had to run into the store for a couple things.

There was absolutely NO crime there until the mid to late 70's. I remember because my mom was on a women's task force to support rape victims and a woman was raped in her home. It was VERY shocking. Nothing like that had ever happened there. She lived in a rural area, it's a farming community, but she was officially from that town since that was her address. She was isolated, a perfect place for someone to go into her home. People started locking their doors after that. I was already in college and had moved to Milwaukee by then.

Anyway, I now live in Sacramento CA and I don't like it here at all. I enjoyed the warm winters for a few yrs, but now I truly miss the seasons and everything. There are SO many things that are different. I don't know if I'll ever get the opportunity to move back. I have many limitations (physical, financial, emotional, etc) and have had quite a number of very difficult losses in a short period of time. I was never able to have children so that's another huge hole in my life.

Anyway...I'm off to bed now. I was resting earlier and then I got up for awhile, but I was trying to do some Quentin quests and was falling asleep sitting up, so it's time to surrender. I never go to bed til I'm completely exhausted (unless I'm going in there to watch a DVD) I'll be doing that now, too. I don't usually fall asleep if I'm trying to. I have to "fool myself" into it, even if I'm falling asleep here, as soon as I'm in my bed I'll get wide awake if I am "trying" to sleep. I have some trauma from childhood around that with my father being emotionally abusive when I had insomnia. My dad has some similarities to yours, which I'll explain when I comment. Have a good evening!

I originally from western Montana. Moved around in the military and ended up here in El Paso Texas, and share border with Juarez Mexico. I can honestly say, I miss the first snow before anything touches it after that it can disappear. We could always use more rain here, but under the condition that all the non drivers are restricted to their homes. Its a challenge for many drivers, here if it rains, oh gee don't talk about snow. You want to slow down traffic throw a curve in the road. I learned to drive in the snow in Montana, and the roads weren't plowed good or at all. We used to leave cars running back home, too. Doors unlocked, my sister did up until about 5 years ago. She had 3 men walk in her house, and they were drunk. They only said, I think we have the wrong house and left. That is so horrible what happen to that poor lady.

We are the same I dont like it, here one bit. I dont like the people or their attitudes, I want to go back to a smaller place where people are friendlier and say, Hello. I have lived here off and on since 1985 I can count my friends on one hand. But hubby is a creature of comfort and likes it here, never mine I hate this place and he knows it. His originally from Cairo Egypt and this place feels like home to him. I can tell he feels uncomfortable in small towns. Should he pass God forbid, i will sure try to move to a smaller place. Already have a place in mind, his job before he retired went to Ft Sill Oklahoma. I just love the small town off the base, its like going home.

We have two seasons cold and roasting like the hinges of hell. Not a big fan of hot weather.I am happy with 75-80 f, if there is a place on earth that has that temp year round I am move there.

Do you have neighbors and friends that come to visit or call? Baby sis and I usually talk every weekend. My boys are either here visiting or calling. My older one is working and living in Arlington, VA. My middle son is the only one left home and working on his masters in college almost done. My younger son here in town at his own place and going to medical school. They keep me busy, so do the hairy kids.

I can tell your a fighter though, and dont let your issues close you off from the world. You still have a lot to offer the world. I am glad you reach out to people here on subeta. Are u in the Lair (lair bears) I saw your friends with bcsam? I am also your friends with Sirenia, I knew her from when I belonged to the group called Modus Operandi.

i have to fool my self with sleep sometimes. Your Dad sounds like he didnt or couldnt handle your having issues when you were young.

Cya later!! We can smail its more private, I sent friend request earlier. I dont know if it got through or not.
