I haven't figured out the auction house yet. I only went there once, and as you said, there's nothing in there. I tried to put up an item, but that little wiggling penis said I couldn't. 

I only been to Gracies once as well. It was a snooty place, and I don't like snooty places.

I don't know about money, but I heard that if you throw an axe into the fountain, you *might* get a silver axe. It can take a lot of tries, I guess.

Have you tried planting a money tree yet, GG? I planted a 1000 bells yesterday, and I'm going to wait and see if I can grow one.

How do you throw anything in the fountain?

I got a letter that said that if I plant a money tree in your town and you do the same in mine, we get good stuff? I've never done it before in wild world? You just bury cash? How much? What if I bury 100 bells?

I have no idea. I just heard about it on an Animal Crossing forum, and they didn't go into specifics. My Nook's upgraded today, and still no axe.

I never heard about the planting in different towns thing, but we can sure try it!

I believe it has to be at least 1000 bells, but I could be wrong. I do know that the more money you bury, the more money the tree will give you if it sprouts. It's a gamble, though. I planted a money tree yesterday, and it sprouted this morning. Hopefully, I'll make TONs of money.

No, you don't have to water money trees. At least I never have, and they've still grown.

I'm out of school now for the rest of the year. I'm available to play AC online from 12pm noon (my time) till 4pm Monday-Saturday. Let me know when you want to link up, GG.

Those are cool pics, GG. Whoa, I had no idea you could fish off of a cliff!

I tricked Alice the "guvnor" into a pitfall seed trap. I actually planted it and pushed her into it. She cried and was sad afterwards. I felt guilty

I like pushing them until they get mad, and yell at me. I should do that pitfall trick to the animals I don't like so they'll move to your town.

Do they get mad when you push them? I try boxing them in with holes, but they never go into them and you cannot push them in. It has to be pitfall seeds. I was hoping for a reaction like the one in the pic above.

Oh, yeah. Pushing them definately makes them mad. I did this to my grape ape today, and she's  steaming mad now. Literally.

Is it weird that I'm still playing the Gamecube Animal Crossing despite now owning the much more advanced Wii version? I swear, when I get my DS Lite back, I'll be playing all three Animal Crossing games daily.  I may not have time to play anything else!  

Hmm, come to think of it, I wonder how many weeds are in my ACWW town now? I haven't been able to play it since last May. I bet it'll take me a week to remove all of them.

Out of curiosity, I looked up on ebay how much it would cost to start collecting the Animal Crossing eReader trading cards that came out with the Gamecube version. Some cards are going for $3 and up each! There are a few auctions that sell the cards in bundles too, though. Near as I can tell, to collect all 70+ cards for each of the four series would cost me considerable amount of time and money. Not to mention I'd have to buy an eReader and a GBA too. My Animal Crossing addiction must be getting really bad because I'm actually considering doing it!  I've got to collect them all! 

I read on the Animal Crossing Community Forums that there was one guy there who had collected every single item in the GC Animal Crossing. It only took him 5 years of daily play! 

So much innuendo in this game, the writers know what they are doing.

I searched gamespot and couldn't find one animal crossing city folk thread. Not one where people can exchange codes or talk about the game. Either I'm missing something or that is just sad

I caught a Coelacanth last night! It's a very hard to find fossil fish. You can only find them when it's raining or snowing in the winter.

And a lobster too! I didn't even know they were in season.
