Good morning, Member

Hello GrayViners! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I’ve had a very busy week this week, on my feet all day long most days, so I am a bit tired this morning! I know many of you may quietly deal with tired, uncomfortable feet at the end of the day but prefer at-home options over appointments or pills to help*. Our friends over at Savvy Senior Central looks at a simple at-home foot comfort devices that some seniors are choosing to use while sitting and relaxing at home*. So be sure to check them out today, if your feet are also a little sore!

Speaking of getting comfortable… How many pillows do you like sleeping with? Just one for your head, or enough to build a cozy little fort? Everyone has their own way of winding down at night. Head over to the forum and tell us what works for you!

Cracked yesterday’s riddle? It was: What begins with T, ends with T, and has T in it?

The answer is… teapot! Bravo to our brilliant Riddle Masters!

Let’s keep those gears turning, try to unscramble this: L O P O Y M O N

It was thin, colorful, and never quite sounded like a real record—but that didn’t matter. You’d carefully cut it out, place it on the turntable, and listen as familiar voices crackled to life through tiny speakers.
