Trivia time: Can you name 5 musicians or bands from Canada and their best songs.

No judgement here, everyone has a say. Music is universal, we all have different tastes in music. Maybe you will find some new music to enjoy as well. 🍁

The scene today between Anita and Sharon was incredibly touching. Well written, well acted, and showed the importance of seasoned women in life and in soaps.

So... slightly concerned. I've been to four different stores today and the automatic doors haven't opened or recognized me. It took someone else stepping in front for the doors to open...

I think about my garden all the time. I think about the little pollinators I feed -- insect and bird. They come for the pollen and nectar from my ornamental flowers and discover the flowers on the fruits, herbs, and vegetables too. We all benefit. :)

Question Naomi was using Jacobs phone when she logged in to see her results think she logged out? We didn’t see her return his phone????
Also I think you can trust your bunny pets cause they know who feeds them. 😁

Congratulations to the cast and crew of #BeyondtheGates on their NAACP Image Award nominations for OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES and OUTSTANDING HAIR STYLING (TV OR FILM). I believe #BTG is the first soap to ever be nominated in the main drama (non-soap) category.

Before this week's new episodes of #BeyondTheGates air, check out my commentary on last week's shows. I talk about Joey and LSD working together, the things i learned from the show, and wonder if #BTG might actually have Anita succumb to cancer. #Soapsky

I totally agree about Joey’s role in Doug’s death not coming out until 2027 lol 🤷‍♀️ In fact, I hope he and Vanessa married when it comes out so she can take all his assets 😏😈 #beyondthegates
