> > i can't ever get to talk to the boarder on my left at dinner. i've talked to the other two (button lady and piano man) but the one on the left is always busy talking to someone else, i've tried several times but it won't let me interrupt and then dinner gets served so i run out of tries.

i've just kind of got to a dead end. can't find any more places to go, i've been back to the places i've been before and don't seem to ahve any extra options, but i'm probably just not looking hard enough (or enough times, knowing this game..lol). i've looked through the posts on here by people who'd got stuck and didn't know what to do next, but i'm already past those and have been to, done or got the places, things and items they were told to try next, so i'm stumped. probably not cut out to be a sheriff after all..lol
