Hello there, members! Welcome to Friday! I (Vella) hope you’re all off to a good start this morning. How has your week been? Mine feels like a whirlwind. Life can be a bit of a rollercoaster these days, but I want to say that you, folks, are doing a great job. Today might be a little tough, but tomorrow is another day with new possibilities. Now, let’s move on to today’s activities. Here's our final riddle for the week:
Hands she has but does not hold, teeth she has but does not bite, feet she has but they are cold, eyes she has but without sight. Who is she?
That's a good one, isn’t it? You know the drill—if you think you know the answer, head over to the Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, expect a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter.

Remember when writing a letter was the primary means of communication in Australia? Back in the day, people wrote letters in cursive, slapped a 5-cent stamp on the envelope, and waited eagerly for the postie's arrival with a joyful whistle. It's a different world now, with most mail consisting of bills and parcels. Did you use to write letters every week back then? Share your memories of the good old snail mail days! If you have more memories from the past that you’d like to share, feel free to post on the forum!
