Saturday Edition - September 27, 2025

Good morning Member

Well, would you look at that—it’s Saturday again! I hope your week has been filled with small joys and good company. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how much of ourselves come from the people who raised us. Some of us pick up our dad’s sense of humor, our mom’s mannerisms, or maybe even a grandparent’s way of looking at the world. So, let me ask you this: Who do you think you take after more—your mom, dad, or someone else in your family? I’d love to hear your stories and see which traits shine through in you. ❤️‍🩹

Before we go to the serious stuff, it's time for "Would the Grandkids Know This One?" A brand to dust off: Fruit Brute.

Drop your answer on the forum for a shot at next week’s spotlight! And if you took a crack at last week’s phrase, see if your name made the list. Now, let’s take a look at what’s buzzing today with big changes to tax refunds and Social Security, a new service helping seniors, a major company settlement, new SNAP rules, a scam alert to watch for, and free coffee to perk up your day!
