Wife and I might do two hour shifts, stagger meals, sleep, until the end. Maybe next time we can shoot down aliens instead of rocks. Hey no fair. I have to do this on my own. Be nice to the alien. 😀 |

Just keep in mind, both of you, that this rock hunt goes on until the end of the month. What, six, seven days? That's a lot of time that you'll have to protect your lead. Just sayin' |

rockpickerforever I just remembered that RocksInNJ is a video gamer; fast mind, fast fingers, better vision than most of us RTHlings. We can blame his vision loss and arthritis on that.

Vision loss for sure. Board gamer. Not video gamer. Only iPad game I play is Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Well, cause it’s a space thing lol. |

You betcha! We can blame our "slowness" on being only human! No x-ray vision and nimble fingers, just failing vision and arthritic fingers. The human condition.  |

I’m thinking Rick will easily pass me with the wife strategy. If so I’ll probably bail out, as I’m only really interested in winning some rocks. Not much use for pendants. Guess I’ll see how feel when the time comes. Aliens need sleep too.

Lack of sleep is no issue, that is nothing new. But my vision sucks. I wear corrective glasses, but I have to take them off to see anything close up. Then end up putting them back on to see.
It was a real bitch recently when I was under the kitchen sink replacing waste pipes that were leaking. On, off, on, off, ad infinitum.
Sometimes, the floaters (in my eyes) are distracting. Sometimes, it is the dirt on the screen of my phone. Really should replace the glass cover, lol.
But the worst thing is, I have to enlarge the screen so I can touch just the rock to collect it, without hitting a link taking me to another page. Then shrinking it again.
Well, it'll all be over in a week, ha ha.

Wife is not participating, I might hire two youngsters that are on school break. |

I just had a rock pop up on the Amazon ads at the top of the page. Every time I tried to pick it up it clicked through to Amazon. I tried every which way to pick that sucker up and every time a new Amazon window would open up. Finally gave up and relinquished the rock to Amazon.  |

I've also been sent to people's profile pages, had photos open in a new window, etc. Had been revisiting some of jamesp's old threads, just for fun, reliving the past. He has so many photos posted, them damn rocks like to hide in the pictures! Those black ones, especially the small jellybean shaped ones are hard to pick up. My favorites are the medium sized red faceted stones. |

I’m gonna have to build a few droids, but wait that will take time away from looking for rocks. Hmmmmm.  |

You're supposed to say you gave up and bought something on Amazon! dang  Seriously though this happened to me too. I tried for like five minutes to outsmart the Amazon link but eventually gave up  |

Ok, why can't Robin pick up a rock when RocksInNJ has 4.2 million ? I too am having @hummingbirdstone luck except no rocks coming into view at all ! rockpickerforever loves the past. Isn't this a characteristic of rapidly elevating age he he ? She's to busy looking at the past to catch this present stab ha ha. And RickB, dang, over 1400. You need to be hired to find the elusive arrowhead Rick. knave has 7 lol, I thought for sure he would score high. He was my hero. You still are Evan. I have an excuse, a building project and protected from any form of scrutiny. RocksInNJ has a control device on the system. A number generator built into his icon perhaps. |

Looks like RocksInNJ has out foxed the random rock planter where even Tommy can't find them as fast also. Edit - just had a rock show up when typing this post ! Yippee - #2 !! |
