Good morning Member

Hey GrayViners! I hope you’re all having an amazing day! Tonight, I’m heading out for dinner with my high school friends—it’s been ages since we all caught up! I’m bracing myself for the laughter, the throwbacks, and of course, the inevitable bit of juicy gossip (because what’s a reunion without someone dropping a “you’ll never guess what happened” moment? 👀). It got me thinking—are you the type of friend who’s more of a talker or a listener? We’re curious, tell us which one sounds more like you!

Now, let’s answer yesterday’s Word Unscramble: R G H C O U

The word is grouch! Kudos to our Word Wizards who got it correct!

For your last riddle this week, try to solve this: I start out green, then turn to gold. I’m sweet inside, or so I’m told. Monkeys love me, that’s no bluff. What am I that peels off tough?

Drop your answer here—your turn in the shoutout spotlight might be next! Until then, check out today’s picks: We’re diving into the Social Security COLA debate, new SNAP updates, a tomato sauce recall, and a farewell to a country music legend.

Big, Beautiful World

We are but a speck of dust in the vastness of this universe—and that must be easy to feel when you’re looking at a grand view like this. Snow-dusted peaks stretch across the horizon, a waterfall cuts through the cliffs, and layers of forest roll out beneath the clouds. I bet you didn’t notice the person sitting on the rock at first, did you? From simple scenes to sights like this, we’d love to see them—send your photos!
