Thanks, Ms. Tearius! You're always so helpful!
I think she would realize what's going on when she fails to get any new plants. She always cashes them in. Maybe I'm just having bad timing and trying to gift before she has been able to do that. As far as the energy bar goes, it's certainly possible that it said $49.99 and I thought it said $4.99... wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong!! ;-)

Hi, Ms. Tearius! Just wanted to let you know that I contacted Wooga support through the game, and after the 2nd attempt, I got someone who answered my question exactly. When the game asked me if I wanted to continue as "real first name", it was just asking me if that was the correct FB profile (which I had thought might be what they meant, but I just didn't want to take any chances!). So I tried it again, said "OK", and everything went through fine! I'm connected to a FB account, so when I get the new phone (I ordered one with a 6.2" screen, so even on a phone, I'm not torturing myself as much anymore!!! =), I shouldn't have any trouble picking right back up where I left off. Whew!!

When I said "no", it logged me out of FB (or, rather, the game continued but I wasn't on FB). Since I am just creating a FB page now, JJ doesn't know if it's a real or dummy account - would the game make me start all over since I have been playing for awhile without connecting to FB? Unlike most players, I don't care about real life FB friends seeing me. As I mentioned before, I'm not active on FB so my sole purpose in creating the account is to ensure that I don't lose my game when I have to switch phones.
Thanks so much for your help - I really DO appreciate it!

Hi again! Ms. Tearius, I set up a FB page, and logged in from the game on my phone. FB asked if I wanted to continue as "real first name". Well, no, I don't want to do that!! I would really rather keep the user name I've been using in the game. Is there a way to do this? Or do I need to set up a dummy FB page with my JJ user name?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks so much for the information!! I will definitely set up a FB account, and I'd already had written down the game ID. It would be SO nice to be able to play JJ on my Kindle... my phone is decent-sized for a cell, but not ideal for playing a game like this, and probably because of age, it will start to dim out on me in the middle of Hidden Object Scenes. I have the display turned up as high as it will go and sometimes it looks like the screen before you tap on it to activate it, LOL! Trying to get through the scene with a Perfect score in the dark is no picnic! I definitely won't miss that. :)
