I spent the best part of a hour composing a very long reply to your post that seems not to have made it. Presumably the problem was the best part of an hour bit but I didn't expect to go on that long. I can't face retyping the whole thing and the act of doing it helped me clarify my thoughts so I have moved on a bit from 6 hours ago. So I'll go for brief points and if you want to come back on it I'm happy to expand any point.

1) Yes I have other games none of which I play any more for various different reasons but the main one is time - I spend at least 6 hours a day on the one you are friends with and I don't have time for more.

2) I don't view you or anyone else as a ATM I have enough for my long term needs in my game now. (I mined my original abandoned main game which seemed to have a lot of the missing CIs from giftable collections, and some of my wonderful friends supplied the rest) I love getting collections from you but I don't need them.  I send you the odd collection because I want to but I don't send more because I know you don't need them.  That applies to about 6 of my "senior" friends all of whom I would be sad to lose but if the needs of others mean you or other friends delete me - well I have been expecting it and have considered doing it myself to take on some more newbies - but the ones I have taken on recently have been a mixed bag - some great and some using me as an ATM so I haven't done it.

3) I have a whole bunch of friends I feel no connection with and only send my daily TT items to, and the occasional CI.

4)I have a small group of friends I'm trying to support because I feel a connection and they need the help.

5) I have decided my aim is to turn in as many of the currently 836 collections as is practicable. I have turned in all 248 giftable ones, I'm not aiming at 80 from previous events that are only obtainable in chests, I have turned in 394 non giftable ones and have 114 to go requiring a total of 185 CIs since I already have 4 in most of the collections.

6)I don't intend to delete any friends myself - but if they delete me that was their choice and I have no problem with that.

7)I intend to moderate the time I spend on the game and spend more time on my art which I have been neglecting but with classes due to restart after the summer break in a few weeks I will get back into.

8) I may not gift visit or TT every day from now on.

9)I hope you don't delete me but I understand there are people out there you may want to help that you need to fit into your FL

That was the short version    Wanda
