Good morning Member

A brand-new day has dawned, GrayViners! What a joy to share another morning with you. Before we dive into today’s stories, let’s crack open one of life’s biggest mysteries: Which came first—the chicken or the egg? 🐔🥚 Some say it’s the chicken, others insist it’s the egg—and the debate’s been scrambling minds for centuries. It’s a question that’s sure to ruffle a few feathers, but I’d love to hear where you stand. Something tells me this one might just hatch a lively discussion!

Let’s move on to yesterday’s Word Unscramble: A R L A N C E D

The word is calendar, and our brilliant Word Wizards nailed it!

Ready for another brain teaser? Here’s today’s riddle: I’m sharp at first, then dull with use. In every hand I find my muse. I draw, I write, at your command. What am I that ideas demand?

Share your answer here—tomorrow’s spotlight might just have your name on it! Settle in, today’s stories are worth a look: From Social Security payments and urgent recalls to new tax breaks, sweet BOGO deals, and nostalgic throwbacks, today’s stories bring a little something for everyone.

Myth: Pet insurance doesn’t cover everything

While that’s true in many cases, most insurers now offer wellness add-ons for preventive care like vaccines, dental cleanings, and check-ups, giving you more complete coverage. View Money’s pet insurance list to find plans for as low as $10 a month.
