Meanwhile, on the iPad - one of my quests has disappeared!  The quest involving the letter from Queen Sophia inwhich she gives us the little blue bird is nowhere to be seen.  I know I didn't complete it, the bird is marked currently unavailable.

We've been doing Stone Circle for those molecular lenses since at least early January, Tirama.  I played 3 times today and received one stinking lens.  One!!!  I'm sick and tired of it, now I'm going to spend my daily bonus money on lenses and yarn, even if I won't have a lot left to do besides the chest afterwards.

I haven't had much time for this game (see my post in challenge thread).  I'm stressed out big time.  When the dust settles, I'm starting my games over and taking my time.  Maybe by the time I can play again, there will be an update and they'll be a collection that can be cashed in for lenses and yarn and zodiac cards.  I hate those ho scenes.

and if you think looking for the broccoli in stone circle is difficult, try fining it and the praying mantis on an iPad.  Still no update oniPad, so energy renews more slowly and the ho scenes haven't been brightened.
 

I don't have the bird in all my games, it's just marked 'unavailable' or something like that.  I think that might be the one I didn't buy the unicorn.
I don't mark anything down, but I know I have to have some kind of glitch in my mini games.  You have to get 2 trophies in the one to open up the next one, well whenever I go in I only have one trophy and not any progress towards the second one.  I know I've played several times in all my games, it's like when I close down it takes all my progress away so the next time I come in it tells me I'm at 1/5 again.  So today I said the hell with it and bought enough yarn and lenses to play the 5 times and make sure I got the 2nd trophy to open the next mini.  I'll go back to playing again to get the resources for the next mini but I was tired of not getting credit for something I worked my butt off for.  I have shuffleboard all day tomorrow and I have to get my letters in ART and all 3 games were full of energy so I used all 3 shrines today, now I won't have to worry about AK until the weekend, just check in tomorrow is all.

I went and looked at my games.  The two games with the Pegacorn have the bird, the one without the Pegacorn doesn't have it.  My best memory of the bird is that it appeared with an update and that it was basically given to me, not as a quest, unless it was to read a letter or something like that.  Because I didn't get it in the third game I always assumed it was because I didn't buy the Pegacorn.  But I'm not going to use all those crystals to test my theory.  OMG, the horror, I'd have to find all those whispering lilies again.

Well, it's certainly strange. 
I've been really tempted lately to hit the "message" button on shaggy to see if he will revert back to level 23, he's got like 50 messages but I would imagine they're mostly friend requests.
