Great, Cathy! No worries about when you play, especially during the holiday season.

The friend codes you use to invite will change after four or five people have used it to get onto your friends' list tab. It will also expire if it gets "old". Here's an explanation of what happens with the codes which Fossiliferous posted and is much better than I could ever give:

"The codes expire after 4-5 uses, after which they do not work. If the codes you try are more than a few hours-day old then there is a good chance they have already been used 5 times. Some people who post on one forum will post the same code on numerous sites, so they expire very, very quickly. The best thing to do is to let the original poster know that their code has expired (which will let anyone else who wanted to try it know as well) and posting your own code for people to use in the  friend code exchange  area of the forum here."

Fossiliferous is our esteemed founder and guru of all things SSHM!!! And on another note, you can have friends who are very generous and play daily and then those friends will either start not sending TYs (Thank You's) or free gifts because they have quit the game for one reason or another. Life sometimes gets in the way and friends will tend to come and go, but that's the beauty here. There's always this forum where you can post about needing more friends when you want.

Happy playing and will send you a code tomorrow when I get my  (oops, my grandson's) kindle back!
