When close or spot on with the sailboat game, we have been getting 5 picks to try to find the right sailboat…. still useless lol never get the right one.
44 zingyginger said,
November 10, 2013 @ 9:25 pm
when you guess correctly, you get 5 picks
if it’s close you get 4
way off you get 1
the game must’ve glitched on you, dee, else you should have gotten 5 picks. it’s glitched on me in the past. twice, in fact. those 2 times, i never even got to guess, it just froze.
i usually get kc only so i didn’t even expect the win. might be next decade before i win again, lol
45 momskinz (WWID: momsownkinz) said,
November 10, 2013 @ 9:49 pm
i think i’ve won the pants and the shirt in the past, but that’s it from the sailboat game – it is SO frustrating to me! i usually always get the full 5 picks except when it gets stuck and still no good prizes

I managed to find the conversation by clicking the world globe when it showed someone commented. Clicking that person puts me on the conversation thread. Home puts me where I ‘thought’ I originally posted my crops question. Home is also where I click one of those icons for energy or kc to bring up my town. Is there a more direct way to click for the town? lol yeah, my head is spinning.
