Thursday Edition - October 9, 2025

Good morning Member

Ah, Thursday—the day that feels like a deep breath before the weekend rush. Today, I’ve been thinking about stories. Not news stories (those come later), but your stories—the ones that start with childhood giggles, awkward first meetings, or chance encounters that grew into decades-long friendships. So, GrayViners, how did your oldest friendship begin? We’re suckers for a good back story, so share yours in the forum!

Now, let’s see who nailed yesterday’s Word Unscramble: L A M I F Y

Ready to test that clever mind? Today’s riddle awaits: I hold your money, cards, and key, tucked in your pocket, close to thee. I open and close, yet never speak. Lose me once, and panic peaks! What am I?

Drop your answer here—who knows, tomorrow’s spotlight could be yours! In the meantime, dig into today’s mix: What Medicare really won’t cover, Dolly’s long-awaited health update, Social Security news, and a few games and jokes to brighten your day!

Transform Your Bedroom Fun With Legal THC Gummies

Imagine feeling every touch magnified, every kiss electrified, and every encounter intensified beyond what you ever thought possible.

Every. Single. Time.

Made from 100% federally legal THC and delivered quickly and discreetly to your door within days, Mood’s strawberries & cream flavored Sexual Euphoria THC gummies can help ignite your bedroom fun starting in just 15 minutes flat…

The secret? A pleasure-amplifying combination of THC and time-tested botanicals designed to work for ALL bodies (not just men).

These do what they claim! Ask my hubby. I don’t think he will let me run out of these gems. And they taste really good.” – Deanne D.

Best of all, they arrive in unmarked packaging that won't raise eyebrows – your under-the-sheets activity remains your delicious secret (unless you choose to share it).
