Good morning, Member

Happy hump day, dear GrayViners! Did you sleep well last night? I woke up this morning knowing I’d just had a good dream—but every detail slipped away the second my eyes opened. Funny how that happens. And yet, I can still recall a couple of dreams from decades ago as clear as day. (One’s a little too thrilling, so I’ll spare you the details!) Is there a dream you can still remember vividly? I’d love to hear about it!

Now, let’s settle yesterday’s riddle: I’m circle-shaped, both smooth and bright. I bear your meals in morning light. When forks fall still, I’m cleared away. What am I?

The answer is a plate! Cheers to our brilliant Riddle Masters! You nailed it! 👏🏻

Do You Remember This Little Gadget?

Image source: Reddit

It looked a little like a red push-button telephone from the future, with glowing lights that beeped and blinked at your touch. In the late ’70s and early ’80s, kids huddled around it to play games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Echo, and even a simple version of Blackjack. Part toy, part futuristic gadget, it brought hours of fun with just a few lights and sounds. Do you remember what this was? Pull a memory out of the attic and tell us in the forum!
