@margeagogo45gg~ Hi, I assume you meant Level 299. 🙂 If so, read my post below to poc01h where "tree stumps" is capitalized in the middle of the reply. Hopefully, it will shed light on "collecting bark" from those tricky tree stumps. Also it might help you to check out the below video (move your cursor to the end of vid). Note the number of bubbles at game start & then keep your eye on the score board. If you can create & pair 2 disco balls to detonate together to clear the entire board as soon as possible, that will totally knock those pesky bubbles out of your hair. (Esp if the bubbles there at game start & then disappear on you later In the game?) I hope this helps...you can do it, Marge! ~ Good Luck!
