Good morning Member
It’s midweek already! Just jumping in for Emerald today, and I’m glad we get to spend our Wednesday morning together. Some of you might be reading this while still in bed, and I’m curious: What’s one thing you always keep on your bedside table that you can never go without? Whatever it is, share it with us in the forum; we’d love to hear your little comforts.

The answer is vinegar! Big shout-out to our Riddle Masters who nailed it.
