Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Wednesday Edition | AM

Good morning

Hello, lovely members! Can you believe February is coming to a close? I (Sethia) find it hard to! Perhaps it’s because I feel love is always in the air—especially whenever I read your beautiful stories here. If you haven’t shared yours yet, there’s still time to do so here! Of course, we didn’t forget your deals from Coles, Woolies, ALDI, and IGA! Next, our second riddle of the week:

I have three eyes, but cannot see. I command with each blink, but I cannot think. What am I?

Give us your best guess in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll be included in tomorrow’s shout-out.
