Good morning Member
Happy Sunday, GrayViners! I am back in your inbox and hopefully not taking up the entire page this time. About last Monday⌠Yes, I saw it, too. My name got so big it practically shouted at you from every corner of the newsletter. I promise, I wasnât trying to make it all about me! But seriously, Iâm very sorry for the error.
It got me thinking, thoughâmistakes can be pretty funny once the moment passes. So today I ask: Whatâs the funniest error or mix-up youâve ever made? Maybe it was sending a text to the wrong person, baking a cake without sugar, or showing up a day early to a party. Share your story in the forum and letâs have a chuckle together.
Alright, coffeeâs hot, Sundayâs looking fine, and Iâve got a fresh batch of stories ready for you. Letâs dive in.
