Good morning Member
It’s a fact that there’s nothing better than starting the day together with a warm cup of coffee and a little company from our dearest GrayViners. Funny enough, I’ve always kept random facts tucked away in my head—like how honey never spoils. That one has stuck with me for years, and I couldn’t tell you why.
Which brings me to today’s question: What’s a fun fact that stuck with you for no reason at all? Share yours in the forum, and and let’s see what kind of treasure trove we can build with this shared knowledge!
Now, speaking of stories that stick with you, let’s turn the page to today’s lineup. From the news that matters most to the little slices of life that brighten your day, we’ve got a full plate ready. Let’s get started.
