When I was a very impressionable teen, someone I was crushing on sent me a perfectly acceptable and polite message from on a family vacation (probably assuming my parents would read it). They made a little mark on the envelope, indicating where a secret, hidden message was acrostic within the letter.

I honestly thought & still think this was the coolest thing ever, but I hesitate to ask for it because I also read lots of fiction and am fairly certain I lack the brains for any complex codes like smart people in novels are always breaking.

Still.

Would you try it, and forgive me if I can't unravel the message?

If you'd like an exchange, I could also try this, OR I could tell you about the thing I'm learning these days, or about my garden.

Let me know!

Hi Mensa members! Feeling like a palate cleanser? I know I am!

Let's share a POSITIVE experience we've had in Mensa- whether it's at a large gathering, a small SIG, in an online community or whatever. Did someone give you a compliment? Make a friend/ meet your partner? Enjoy an illuminating lecture? Learn something new?

Let's hear about it!

The other night I was lying in bed, looking at my phone (Reddit probably), and kitty was under the covers beside me sleeping. He was the "little spoon" in position but in actual fact he's a very long cat who can stand and look over the dining table easily.

In his sleep, he stretched out, and one front paw extended out from under the covers with all his long spidermonkey toes spread wide... collided gently and closed around my nose (no scratches even) and then withdrew back under the covers.

It felt so loving and intentional!
