General Discussion 05.24.2025​

Hello Grayviners,

I hope your weekend was filled with good company, quiet moments, and perhaps one small indulgence that brought you unexpected joy. You know the kind—something you didn’t plan to buy, but now find surprisingly useful or endearing.

To start the week with a bit of reflection and fun, here’s a question for everyone: What’s a discontinued product you wish would return? It could be a favorite snack from childhood, a piece of technology that worked just right, a well-made household item, or anything else you still think about from time to time. What made it special—and why do you miss it?

And as always, if nothing comes to mind, feel free to share any thoughts, updates, or small joys from your week. Whether it’s a recent accomplishment, a good book, or just something that made you smile, this is your space to connect with your fellow GrayViners.

Wishing you all a thoughtful and positive start to the week. Looking forward to reading your stories.

With love,
Sophia

The blue jeans I loved from K-Mart. They always felt like an old friend, and they fit in all the sizes I wore at some time or other.

I don’t remember the name of this candy I loved in the 50’s and 60’s. It was sold at a candy shop called Faroh’s in the burb of Middleberg in Cleveland Ohio. It was football shaped lemon hard candy with a center of ascorbic acid. It made it a pleasant burst of tartness that was just right. Not like the super sour of Sour Patch Kids. Those tweak my jaws a wee bit too much. I wish they would bring back my favorite lemon candy!
