Wednesday Edition - January 8, 2026

Good morning, Member

Happy Wednesday, dear GrayViners! I hope you’re keeping warm. Don’t you think cold days have a way of changing our habits? We stay in bed a bit longer, take our time in the morning, and reach for whatever feels most comforting. Some days that’s something warm bubbiling on the stove. Other days, it’s just a hot mug you can hold. I’m curious: What do you prefer on a cold day: a hot meal or a hot drink? Chime in and share your pick with us!

Now, let’s crack yesterday’s riddle: What is so fragile that saying its name breaks it?​

The answer is… silence! Did you make the winners list? Find out here!

For today’s brain teaser, unscramble this: T T R O L E Y

Send in your answer, and you might just be in tomorrow’s shout-out! All right—bundle up and take a look at today’s stories: A refund you may be able to claim, grocery savings and food deals, a recall to watch for, and a few light reads to enjoy.
