Good Morning!
Well, here it is folks. In case you didn't read yesterday's
issue of Word-A-Day the big news is that this publication
is being turned over to the capable editor of Trivia Today.
So the next issue you receive will not be Word-A-Day but
TRIVIA TODAY.
You will be receiving TRIVIA TODAY five days a week, just
like this email. And you will still be getting word origins
and other fun word facts along with even more interesting
trivia, puzzles and brain teasers.
If this doesn't sound interesting to you, you can always
scroll to the bottom of this page and unsubscribe and your
email address will not be merged with the TRIVIA list.
I would like to thank you for all of the time you have spent
with me and I hope you enjoy reading Trivia Today as much
as you have enjoyed this publication.
See you next time!
Carly

ENVY SUNGLASSES by Dakota
Store Price: $69.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99
The name says it all... You'll be the envy of everyone with
These high-quality Dakota Sunglasses simply named... ENVY.
And our competitors are downright envious of the price we
are offering to GopherCentral readers... How can we do it?
We work closely with the manufacturer and sometimes they
have an overrun in production. We made a promise that we
would take ALL the over-runs... no matter how big or small
and we would pass the savings onto our readers!
Grab a pair or two while the supplies last. Once they are
gone... they are gone. To see a picture, get more info or
order, visit our site at: ENVY SUNGLASSES by Dakota
