Jabby, the best advice I can give you regarding your methodology is to not play in the past. Why? The longer you are in "TT mode", regardless of past or future, the more you set your device up to be vulnerable to having it hacked. I don't recommend 30 days of TT for gifting because of the time it takes to gift it increases this risk AND on some devices you will not be able to receive text messages or iMessages while back or forward dated. Also I don't recommend 20 days of TT as an everyday thing because the inflow of too many keys/fixers from too many TTers will push out CIs if you've been given them on your WL. For this reason I stopped gifting most players on my FL on Fridays except those whom I know are not participating in "fixer Friday" events from other sites. The acceptable number of TT gifts and number of days to go back (or forward) is what works for you. If I had to skip a few days of play/gifting then I usually send more but my comfortable level is currently at 10-15. Everyone finds their comfort level based on time and play experience. Others commented on Heather's method of going into the future. The vulnerabilty risk remains constant either way. I have found that the Guardian can get messed up if one goes into the future but that may not be an issue for you as a new player (guessing you do not have a Guardian Trophy yet as those were from previous events). The Guardian of Time will get messed up if you use that and are trying to build up the pieces. Whatever you choose to do with regards to TT best of luck. One more food for thought idea. Your daughter is still young. Love how you are involving her (or she you?) LOL. Maybe consider not letting her see the TT travel bit/technique as it could leave her with the impression it is not a problem to change the date on the device. And maybe it isn't for you especially if it is a device you don't care about or do not receive message on. If your date is off there are a majority of websites that won't be reachable due to the vulnerabilities it causes. So keeping your device at current date and time whevever you can is safest. HTH
