Okay, my hubby is pretty great... he asked me what was wrong, and I told him. Then, while trying not to laugh he asked me when I actually needed a tank, and not to be stupid and spend all the "crystals" I had saved up - he's watched me play this game for the last month. I told him I will probably need one in the next couple of months to keep playing.
He just looks at me while REALLY not trying to laugh, and says a couple of months?!?! Just be smart about it, and I'll get something later. And if worst comes to the absolute worst, we'll just spend until we get "something" that doesn't suck. He's like, "I think you make enough that we can spend some so that you can continue on with the game."
Wasn't even mad. He actually kind of laughed to see me out of sorts, because I NEVER get out of sorts. So, back to the game I go. Thanks to everyone on the board for your support!
