[Tutor] pygame blinking text

Since you are using livewires, you can subclass games.Timer 
and then create an instance of that subclass at the end and then have 
the tick function check for some Boolean value and either hide or 
show the text. I am not familiar with livewires or pygame, so I hope that helps.
