Merge Madness continues

It's getting worse for me too. When I collected from the trash can the first day, it depleted my 100 energy immediately. The second day it did it again and that's when I realized exactly when the energy was depleted. I was able to avoid that by using the energy first, then collect from the trash can. Yesterday it wouldn't even allow me to collect coins or energy, just popped up with an error message and made me restart. Today I was trying to play again, and when I had a bubble with a potion thing in it, I used coins to get that potion. THAT depleted my remaining energy, I think I had at least 95 as I had just started it. So now I'm out at least 290 energy from losses alone, and an additional 60 since I haven't been able to collect from the trash can. I see everyone complaining about it, it would be nice if they would fix it! We are paying customers.
