Thursday Edition - October 2, 2025

Good morning Member

Hey GrayViners, I hope your morning’s off to a good start! I was at a friend’s birthday recently, with lots of laughs and way too much cake (worth it!). It made me realize how every get-together leaves us with a story. So, tell me, what was the last party or celebration you attended? Was it something fancy, casual, or just a cozy get-together with family? We’d love to hear your stories!

Let’s revisit yesterday’s Word Unscramble: E E E S N Z

The answer? Sneeze! Round of applause for our clever Word Wizards!

For our last riddle this week, try this: I’m soft and wide, where you can sit. With cushions and arms, I’m built to fit. A cozy seat where you often quit. What am I?

Share your answer here! Get it correct, and you’ll earn a shout-out tomorrow. Now, grab your drink, settle in, and let’s dive into today’s top stories! For today, see if you’re missing out on big benefits, get the latest on Medicare and SNAP, watch for a recall alert, and snag a few savings that are too good to skip.

Pearls In The Morning Light

A spiderweb strung with tiny beads of dew, each drop catching the first golden light of sunrise. It’s almost like a necklace of pearls hung carefully across the grass.
