Sick of hearing from us every day? Click here to get the Sunday only send.
Good morning, members, and Happy Thursday! We’re thrilled you’re joining us again for another round of our newsletter. How are you on this fine Thursday morning? I (Vella) hope you’re sitting comfortably with your coffee or tea, ready to join us for a delightful start to your day. I am back in my morning routine of enjoying a delicious breakfast while immersing myself in the fantastic stories in our forum. You, folks, had me laughing with your tales from the ‘Have you ever accidentally broken the law?’ thread. I guess I’m not
the only one who’s had a little rendezvous with the law without even realising it. But hey, what matters most is that we’re honest folks willing to make amends for our innocent slip-ups.
Speaking of slip-ups, our dear member Johnny P. has an intriguing question for you all: What’s a childhood memory that got you into big trouble with your parents? Ah, memories! I can recall so many instances like not making it home in time for tea (classic, right?), losing my precious lunch box at school (I felt the wrath when I lost mum’s Tupperware!), and the list goes on. Now, it’s your turn
to spill the beans! Share your childhood mischief in our forum here, and let’s have a good laugh together. Come on, don’t be shy! I can’t wait to hear your stories and reminisce about the innocent trouble we caused back in the day.
Alright, it’s time to jump into today’s activities.
First things first, we owe you an answer to yesterday’s riddle. Here it is one more time:
Tomorrow I am surely here, yesterday I am found as well. Today I am gone. What am I?
The answer, of course, is the letter 'R'! So many of you clever folks got it correct! And as a reward, we'll give you a special shout-out at the end of today’s newsletter. So, keep your eyes peeled!
Now, let's continue with today's Fascinating Fact! Did you know that the speed of a computer mouse is measured in 'Mickeys'? Yep, that's right! It is an unofficial unit of measure for the smallest movement of a mouse cursor on a screen equal to 1/200th of an inch. How cool is that?
And now, let's see what's happening in Australia and around the world today.
