Wrap up your weekend with me at the Fairmont Crest country club. There's a lot to talk about. Are Jacob, Smitty, and Kat in danger? Are Chadison done? Is Tomas about to become interesting? Is Derek going to become an arsonist? #BTG #BeyondTheGates

It would be interesting to see if this does happen how Kat will respond. I remember an episode of the Jeffersons where George gave the Grand Wizard CPR and the guy said he'd rather have had George let him die. Would Kat resent Eva more for saving her?

Glad itβs not your last. I still think it will be flipped and Eva will need something from Kat. Itβs too obvious when they make anvils about Kat needing something. Please surprise me.

This should say "latest," not "last." Autocorrect changed my intent... unless it knows something I don't.

Stupid autocorrect. L-a-t-e-s-t. I don't know why it keeps changing it. It also HATES "K-i-a-l."

Hey #BeyondtheGates fans! I've posted my last commentary and I'd appreciate if you could give it a read. I talk about suddenly liking Tomas (I know, I'm shocked, too!), the undercover job, Dark Derek, some casting news, lines of the week and more. #BTG #SoapsSky

Thank you. It was tough limiting the picks to five, so I picked ones that I thought covered as much area as possible.

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. π

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.

It's not much of a confidence boost to a non-16yo either! π A woman who must have been in her 80s said, "Hmm. Isn't that something..." as I struggled to get the door to "see" me.

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. :)
