I have not done the Black Friday thing before but it seems like crap you already have don’t show up in Ol’ Gils selection of crap. I was planning on getting Santas Little Helper but he wasn’t in the list and I was like, “WTF Mate?” but then when doing something else I found him walking down the street. So I was like, “Well all right then.” Also I came back here for the link to the stuff being offered and there are some other things listed that are not in O’l Gils Selection of “Spend Your Donuts!” for me so I guess I already have that crap too, somewhere. ---

Damn just compared the list of stuff at **Fair Raritys** ’ link and compared it to what I was being offered and I already have everything I wanted. Maybe I’ll try to get Truckasourus. ---

I just noticed a thing. **Fair Raritys** link says Truckasaurus will be available on Sunday at 8AM but my game is saying it will be available at 12AM tonight, Saturday. So I don’t know if already having stuff pushes up the availability of stuff you don’t have, but that seems to be the case in my situation. That’s all that I can think off. ---

I took a three day break from the game at the end of the last event, but I was still able to finish the Thanksgiving event yesterday. I imagine Christmas will drop soon, and I’ll get caught up in that. But that three day break was nice. As far as the deals they’re offering now, there isn’t even one thing that intrigues me. ---

Anyone having a problem with the game not loading on a Kindle? It’s going to the open screen, says synchronizing, then dropping back to the home screen. ---

How do you clear the cache on a Kindle? I might need to know this info in the future. ---

> [@Drunky\_Smurf](#): > > How do you clear the cache on a Kindle? I might need to know this info in the future. I’m interested in learning this as well. One thing I don’t like about my Kindle Fire is that the file management and operating system tools available are limited. I don’t have experience with other tablets so I don’t know if that’s generally true for all tablets, but the Fire is handicapped in that regard. Switching subjects, I’m a bit surprised a winter event or Christmas event hasn’t dropped yet. They’ve been rolling out event after event in hyperdrive lately. I’m not complaining because another crafting event doesn’t appeal to me right now, and it’s nice to have a break. But I am surprised. ---

I went back through posts back to October 2014, and dropped several more friend requests. Checked out towns of everyone who added me - pretty cool! I wasted a LOT of time tapping on things to see and hear what they did/said (and was disappointed by some of the “silent” characters)… went on several monorail rides… and accidentally graffiti’d someone’s Springfield Elementary. Sorry 'bout that. ---
