Monday Edition
Happy Monday, everyone! Another day and week are upon us, and I hope you are all as excited as I am to tackle this day head-on! I’ll admit, I went back again and looked at the Monday blues thread for some extra motivation, and it was like an espresso shot for my brain! Considering that I’m also downing a nice, hot cup of coffee right now, I feel like I’m ready to take on the world.
Okay, kidding about that last bit! I haven’t been around long enough to say I’m ‘wise’, but I do know that I’d rather not tempt fate, especially in my rare episodes of mental vigour. Think of it as staying grounded, if you get my point 😉, so I’m downsizing that statement: I feel like I’m ready to take on reasonably difficult challenges the world throws my way…
And on the topic of challenges, you might want to join the conversation on how life has changed for you in the three years since the COVID pandemic began! This is a judgement-free space, so don’t be shy and share what’s been better (and otherwise) for you recently.
Now, let’s get back to business because I’m sure you’re all raring for another riddle. Here’s this week’s first offering:
What is faster, and why: hot or cold?

We'd also like to give a heads-up: Health Insurers are increasing their premiums by an average of 2.90% on April 1. So, we just wanted to remind you all to compare your
health insurance*. If you are over the age of 65 and you’re not with one of the ‘Big Five’ health insurers, your premium could be increasing by an average of $167* per year, and for those of you who are with one of the ‘Big Five’ your premiums could be increasing by a shocking $194* per year. But the good news is, you don’t need to pay hundreds more for your health cover. Over the past 4 years, our partners at Compare Club have saved their customers who are over the age of 50 an average of $259.50 on their health insurance*. So compare and save today!
