It is SO good to hear from you, Dean, and it was great to see you in game as well! 😍 I'm glad your disability is squared away now and I hope you got all that back pay you've been expecting. Let's hope the recent medical out of pocket is a lot easier to get taken care of. 🙏

As for the game, you know these days with all my gifting, I find I have very little time left over for playing pics and puzzles myself (or visiting for that matter). I too blow through a ton of dynamite and explorer's eyes (and compasses as well) when I play pictures. I just find I don't enjoy playing them anymore...they're kind of boring, even the most recent ones. I've never been very fond of hidden object games for that reason...this one has held my attention mostly because of the interactivity. And I do love gifting...if it weren't for that, I probably would have quit a long time ago.

Anyway, the point is I think you can still enjoy certain aspects of the game even if you're not playing the pictures very often...you just may find it takes a lot longer to go up in frame color and skip some of the event challenges that come up and that's okay. No worries. I don't know if you time travel at all but if that is easy enough on your eyes, doing a lot of it can help you build up a supply of tools, including dynamite and explorer's eyes. And the Collector award can help you get CIs without having to play any pics. That's how I get a lot of both for my needs. I've dropped back a bit currently but I had been doing 30 days TTing each calendar day. That much TTing is rather monotonous but you can get really quick at it...my fingers do most of the work and my eyes are hardly even needed! 😲 And, of course, there is always all of us. Let us help supply you with the CIs and CEs you need so you don't have to play pics as much. All you need do is clear your gift box often enough so we can keep sending you stuff. And maybe put the things you want most up on your wish list. Just let go of the more addictive aspects of the game and figure out what level of activity will allow you to enjoy it again. So what if you don't actually play pics and puzzles more than occasionally.

But in any case, always know that even if you don't play the game anymore, we love hearing from you here on the Wiki, even if you have to lessen that too. Do keep us posted how things are going (and vent too when you need to) no matter what. 😻💕🐨
