Friday Edition
Good morning, members, and welcome to one of our favourite days of the week – Friday! Oh, Friday, how we've missed you! Are you ready for the weekend? We know we are! It sure has been a busy week, but we made it! Now, it’s time to relax and enjoy the weekend.
Some of you have asked for an update on my beloved sister – she's doing much better now. I've been her nurse all week, ensuring she takes her medication and eats properly. It's been tiring, but I don't mind. I'm just glad she's on the mend! You know what I realised while I was taking care of her? We don't really bond that often, my sister and I. Because of work and other stuff, we don't really have time to just sit and talk like we used to. We're always so busy with our own lives. But this week, while I have been taking care of her, I felt closer to her than ever. We had some great conversations, and it was nice to catch up and bond with her again. I'm really glad we have had this time together. I guess sometimes; it takes a crisis to bring people together. But I'm definitely going to make more of an effort to spend time with her from now on. So I urge you all to do the same with your
loved ones! Don't wait for a crisis for you to realise how important they are to you.
Anyway, enough about me! Let's move on to today's newsletter, shall we? As always, we've got plenty of interesting things lined up for you!
Let’s start with the third and final riddle for the week...
Two mothers and two daughters go shopping. They have $21, which they split equally between them. How is this possible?
Oh, another great riddle! We love these. If you think you’ve got the answer, head over to our riddle masters thread here. If you get the answer correct, then we will give you a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!
