Wednesday Edition - February 25, 2026

Good morning Member

Hey, dear GrayViners! I was having a chat with my nephew about Pinocchio and the beautiful lesson tucked inside that story. It got me thinking about all the tales that once carried us away. Those with glass slippers, hidden cottages in the woods, talking animals, and brave heroes who somehow made everything turn out just right. Tell me… What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

Were you a Cinderella dreamer, a Jack-and-the-Beanstalk adventurer, or did you love a lesser-known story that still lingers in your heart? I’d truly love to hear which tale stayed with you—and why—so come share your once-upon-a-time memory with us in the forum. ✨

Did you crack yesterday’s riddle? It was: What has a spine but no bones?

For your next brain teaser, try to unscramble this: I V E T A K L A T

Send in your answer, and you might be in tomorrow’s winners list. Ready for today’s stories? We’ve got Social Security news you’ll want to prepare for, major recall from a car giant, McDonald’s “biggest” burger yet, and more!

Back in the day, seeing a case like this in the living room meant something special was about to happen. Maybe it was music filling the house, or maybe it was the steady hum of someone hard at work patching a pair of jeans. That handle, that latch, that sturdy little box, it holds more than just what’s inside—it holds memories.
