Saturday Edition - August 30, 2025
Good morning Member
Happy Saturday! This weekend calls for a little fun—and sometimes the smallest choices say the most. I have one for you: if you had to choose, would you rather have pasta with red sauce 🍅 or white sauce 🧄🍶 forever? It’s not as easy as it sounds. Rich and creamy, or tangy and bold? Head to the forum and let’s see what team you’re on!
Before we dive into the deep stuff, it’s time for “Would the Grandkids Know This One?” Today’s head-scratcher: Brick house.
Got an answer in mind? Share it with us—you could be featured in next week’s edition! And if you played last time, be sure to check the winners’ list… your name might just be on it. Ready to see what’s in store today?
