Facebook finally decided that it liked me I guess. At least it seems to be working for me with out the login problems of before.
Unfortunately, some of my fellow bookies have discovered the games. At first, it was comforting to know that these people were willing to share their crops and jewels with me. But after awhile, receiving their constant blow by blow accounts of their successes became, well, annoying. Short of praying for a crop failure or a mining disaster, I discovered that I could block these messages and save my sanity.
So, they can enjoy their achievements without having to share them with me.
