Good morning

G’day, members! Here we are again, basking in the gentle embrace of another Saturday morning. A cup of coffee in one hand and your digital newsletter in the other—if that isn't the recipe for a lovely start to the weekend, I (Sethia) don't know what is! 😉 Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

And the answer is… a list! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. For today’s ‘What Would The Grandkids Say?’ segment, our term is ‘beige flag’! It refers to an odd habit that isn’t necessarily bad but isn’t great either. For example, mine is setting multiple alarms in the morning but snoozing all of them except the last one. 😂 What’s YOUR beige flag?
