Your wife is indeed a very smart person and I am of the opinion one has the luck one deserves, so you are both lucky and very special people.My initial response, which I deleted, was to say "Go away." But that's not in the spirit of this fine group. You never know in life when you're presented with an opportunity to do a little good. This doesn't have anything to do with dragons, but let me tell you a little story that just happened to my wife.
She attended a Valentine party the other day and while parking brushed against another car with hers. She didn't want to make a big announcement so she watched out the window until the woman went to her car. When my wife got there the woman was weeping inconsolably and being comforted by a friend. My wife thought she was upset at what my wife thought was very minimal damage. Which was not the case.
She was upset because her husband of over 50 years had recently died and this was her first Valentines Day without him. My wife, an unbelievably empathetic and nurturing woman, helped to console her. That evening she called her and listened to many more tears, then sent her flowers after hanging up.
My wife's reaction?
She viewed it a special opportunity to extend kindness to someone in need.
How did I get so lucky?

Agreed. When the carrot is out of reach this ol' mule has learned to go look for another carrot.
I'm hoping that BFS will soften things up a bit with the next update. They've set a precedent for that with the Panlong with its four elements and super production rate when optimized. They can leave things the same on the front end for beginners and less experienced players but add something on the back end that more experienced players can latch on to. Things I can think of include:
- More habitats
- Large habitats with more capacity
- A dragon even more powerful than the Pan
- Allow more dragons per habitat, especially for the Rares
- Reduce the 2.7x premium charged for volume treats to something more reasonable
- And/or create a super volume treat, say $25M or $50M, with no premium
I'm sure there are many other ways to enable hard-core strategically minded players to have a chance to attain some of the lofty goals without breaking the bank or resorting to other measures. I sure would be enthusiastic to see things along those lines. Right now they accommodate beginners and intermediate players, but I think they fall short with more advanced players and there's a tendency for things to turn into a mindless grind. This community is what keeps me going as I'm starting to find the game less interesting.
FWIW,

Hi Segbert,
Yep, I hail from sunny Singapore
Generally, food here is inexpensive. There are countless food courts, hawker centers etc around the island and if you're not picky, can enjoy a meal for less than SGD10. Main killer expenses here is the cost of property and cars. Property in particular, had been on an extreme upward rise. Just to give you am idea - In 2011 May, I bought a condo for investment in the Central Core Region. It's a paltry 40sqm and it costs close to SGD900k!
Public transportation infrastructure is generally good but it's starting to be overcrowded. Cars (say a Toyota 1.6L) will now set you back close to SGD80-100k which again is extreme crazy.
Live in help (generally domestic helpers from Indonesia, Philippines and Myanmar) is around SGD450 per month. Factoring in their expenses, insurance, food etc, it'll cost you roughly SGD600 per month.
If there's anymore you want to find out, let me know ya

Since then my Angry Bird games have been somehow lost and, while I've dabbled a little, I just don't have the interest to go back and redo things to the level they were at previously. But I'm still Birdmaestro.

What a super post. You're so right, your wife sounds fantastic and your second response shows that you deserve her (I hope that comes out right
Did you do it on iPhone or iPad ? Supermaestro
