Saturday Edition | AM
Good morning
Good morning, dearest members! Well, would you look at that— it’s Saturday again! But I (Sethia) am not complaining. I could surely use a breather after a hectic week. Luckily, it’s the perfect time to find a cosy spot, snuggle up next to my cat, and share this early morning with the best company possible—you! Now, let’s unveil the answer to yesterday’s riddle.
Test Mars. What is the anagrammed word?
And the answer is… smartest! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. Now, let’s dive into our ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment! Today’s term is ‘flop’, which is another way to say ‘fail’. For example, ‘Was Cate Blanchett’s movie a hit or a flop?’

Paper Fortune Teller

Pick a colour! Red, purple, orange or green? These paper fortune tellers were a hit in the ‘50s and ‘60s! Kids would run to their closest friends and ask them to select a colour and then a number. Lo and behold, their destiny would be revealed. Do you recall jotting down cheeky predictions and letting your imagination soar with these? Share your fond memories with us here!

No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you—or are they? Member @Phil_Byrne tested our observational skills with this photo of a Dalmatian blending in with a bed of rocks. Can you spot it? 😉 I hope this makes you smile today! Do you have a photo you’d like to share, too? We’d love to see them here.
