It was every year for a while, for sure, because hubby and I used to go twice a year with that discount. (Included fast pass too at no extra charge)
Haven't been since December 2019 and wish I would have known it was the very last time.

What a beautiful view. Blue and pink Vladdy and blue and pink sky.

Vladimir Guerrero being helped into the Blue Jays homerun jacket.
Vladdy is wearing a pink elbow protector with his blue uniform and there is a beautiful pink and purple/blue sunset visible in the background.

I actually didn't go to bed. I watched the entire game. I just didn't want the Jays to know and cause them bad luck.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 12h

K. I'm going to bed. Sorry. It's 10pm here and I have radiation tomorrow.
The Jays can make tomorrow better if they win while I sleep.

Can we have Geddy Lee, sure, but without the music?

Weird that there are three singers of the anthems tonight, but they don't show them at all while they are singing...?

Are you flipping kidding me???

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 1d

Yes!! I'm so tired of it. I need ideas. They nourish me.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 1d

And I don't mean 'plaster us with ads'.
I mean grassroots recruitment.
Get into the communities. Have casual meetings.
Get a feel for the people and their needs.
And don't friggen preach.

#NLNDP has a real opportunity to recruit and educate their willing candidates for the next election.
The PC won the popular vote by less than 1%.
Since the PCs say the Liberals are horrible, if the PCs also fail (which in the eyes of the Liberals, they will) then the NDP can be a true alternative.

3am thoughts of the election results.
I'd be happy to be wrong, but my gut is saying that we've gone from a 2 year campaign of the Liberals are evil to 4 or 5 years of "our hands are tied because the Liberals are evil".
Please add your own items to the list of promises to be checked on:

I'm a good ear, but I'm also at play rehearsal....

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 1d

I'm so disappointed.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 1d

It's AMAZING that I only spoke to like 10 adults today and mostnof them DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS AN ELECTION TODAY!!!!

Today is voting day.
No vote is a wasted vote.

Breadcrumbs (made from stale Danny's Bakery bread preferably), onion, salt, pepper, and lots of Mt. Scio savoury.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

Oh yeah, that is worrisome.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

Though, I do love a sparkle jacket and if anyone wants to send me one, I'm cool with that.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

That guy, wearing that head topper from Wisconsin, is just asking for me to post a photo like I pointed out the massively large human at the game yesterday and last week, and he will NOT get what he's looking for.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

Strike? Ball? Perhaps we should settle this with a coin flip?
#Jays

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

The Jays are making my 'watch the game live or watch the recording later and play Mario now' decision quite easy this fine evening.

Gina 🫐 @beetleboo.bsky.social · 2d

I actively dislike sage.
I love savoury.
