Good morning from RetireHub!
It’s Sunday and today we’re diving into hosting a Neighborhood Bingo Night—a fun, creative way to bring your community together! As always, we have exciting deals, tips, and more to brighten your day!
This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies
Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.
Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
Top Deals From Around The Web
Each day we find the best online deals so you don’t have to!

Hosting a Neighborhood Bingo Night: Fun, Friends, and Fabulous Prizes!
Looking for a delightful way to connect with your neighbors? A bingo night might be just the ticket! It's easy to set up, great for all ages, and guarantees an evening full of laughter and friendly competition.
Here are some pointers to help you pull off an unforgettable bingo bash.
Choose a Theme
Spice up the classic game with a fun theme! Maybe a '70s disco night where everyone dresses up, or a tropical luau with tiki decorations.
A theme adds extra excitement and gives everyone a reason to get creative.
Customize Your Bingo Cards
Personalize your cards to match the theme or include local touches. Instead of numbers, how about using neighborhood landmarks or fun facts about residents?
There are free online templates to help you design unique cards.
Set the Scene with DIY Decorations
Create a festive atmosphere with homemade décor. String up fairy lights, craft some banners, or use colorful tablecloths.
Getting crafty doesn't have to break the bank and adds a personal touch.
Snack Attack!
Turn snacks into an event of their own. Set up a build-your-own sundae bar, a popcorn station, or make it a potluck where everyone brings a favorite dish.
Food brings people together and gets conversations flowing.
Prizes with Personality
Make the prizes something special. Think homemade goodies, gift baskets filled with local products, or "coupons" for neighborhood services like dog walking or plant watering.
This not only makes winning fun but also supports and celebrates local talent.
Get the Kids Involved
Bingo is a game for all ages! Create a kid-friendly round with toys or candy as prizes.
Set up a craft corner or games area to keep the little ones entertained throughout the evening.
Add Music and Entertainment
Keep the energy high with a playlist that matches your theme. Maybe a neighbor plays guitar or can DJ the event.
Music adds life and can turn your bingo night into a full-blown party.
Remember, the goal is to have fun and build stronger bonds within your community. So don't sweat the small stuff! A neighborhood bingo night is less about the game and more about bringing everyone together. Grab those bingo cards, put on your game face, and get ready for a night filled with joy, connection, and maybe a bit of friendly rivalry!

“Nope. Definite brown thumb here.”
“I end up with lots of little bugs, unless I go hydroponic. ”

Longevity Tip of the Day
Ripeness matters — No, you won’t die from eating under-ripe produce, but new research shows that fully ripened fruit has more life-lengthening health benefits. For example, green bananas are low in fiber and high in astringent tannins that can cause constipation. Fully ripened pears and blackberries have more disease-fighting antioxidants. And in watermelon, a deep red color signifies more lycopene, an antioxidant that may reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Slang Phrase of the Day
Phrase: “Bae”
Meaning: "Before anyone else," babe, or baby; is used to describe a romantic partner or good friend.
In a sentence: “I’d never go on a trip without you, Bae!”
