Hi! I'm Twixy72, and I'll be writing an advice column for the Times. If you have any questions, just Y-mail Twixy72 and I'll see what I can do.

Cheryll: "I was about to get married, but I broke it off for another dude. Did I make the right decision?"

I think that if the other guy was not making you happy, then yes, you made the right decision.

Novas: "I got no clams!"

This is hard for many newbies. Try playing games and earning clams. Then when you have enough, design a dance or an outfit and make money off of that.

obiwan: "Why do people cuss?"

Wow!! That's hard. The people that cuss probably have a bad temper, and can't control what they are saying. If someone is cussing at you, warn them. You can also say, "silence so-and-so" so you can't hear what they are saying now. And if they just keep coming back, you can go to your mailbox and use the silence tool to make it so you'll never hear them again.

jamfleur: "My grandma saw me type in my password and told my brother. When I was gone, he went on as me and cussed. He got me fined 30 clams and taped for 3 days. I told City Hall, and they told me I had to take responsibility for it, but I think that isn't fair, and I should get my money back."

City Hall is right. You do have to take responsibility. You should change your password and then your brother won't be able to get on as you anymore. Now just go with the flow, things will get better, I promise.

outlaws: "Why don't we have any clams?"

You don't have any clams because you spend them or you need to play the games so you can earn a salary. That way you can have clams.

Lutra: "My life is like a bowl of cherries!"

I'm glad to hear that!!!!

Now everyone out there, if you have any questions about Whyville or problems, just Y-mail Twixy72 and I will see what I can do. Thanks, and peace out!!
