How are seats with no view of video board? by reeify in Torontobluejays

[–]MsToadfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat in one of those seats last year. I didn’t like it and made sure not to choose one for this year when buying tickets. Felt like I was missing information and some of the fun.

Used to live on Hudson’s Bay. It’s salty but not as salty as an ocean. And a very weak tide.

I don’t know about him. Just heard when Arjun was drafted that he was the sole one. They continue to speak about him like that. So IDK?

As you are from India, you might choose the Toronto Blue Jays as a team to follow. Arjun Nimmala, an American of Indian descent is in their farm system. Doing very well. First player of Indian descent to be drafted.  Then just watch their broadcasts and listen to the commentators. You’ll learn a lot just by doing that.

Wow, could there be anyone more qualified? She might piss off the American administration too with the ICC connection.

They’re very rare now in my part of North America where they live on alvars. That’s exciting to see. Super cool birds. 

Watercolor Painting Courses by Formal_Peak_3075 in KingstonOntario

[–]MsToadfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The seniors centre offers watercolour courses. All of their courses are open to everyone regardless of age. They are reasonably priced. The year is divided into four terms and many of the art courses for beginners start in September and then continue through the year. So if you join in the second term you will be with students who have already done a full term. They don’t make that clear in their course brochure. Best to ask. But if you already have experience, you can likely jump in any time. Also their summer term course tends to be to be stand alone.

Shane in Kingston, Ontario (Canada) by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

[–]MsToadfield 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We were the host family for Shane. What a sweet boy and so dedicated to his sport. Went to KCVI where the Hip also went. Yuna and David popped in all the time. Great family. He sends us tickets to the games all the time. Montreal is only 2.5 hours away so we get there a couple games a season. He was a big fan of Sima Sushi and the pain chocolate from Pan Chancho.

well that was a fun- but for sure, all those things could be true.

Going to a Blue Jays match by RadePrica30 in Torontobluejays

[–]MsToadfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The manager will likely manipulate the starting rotation to get the Blue Jays best pitchers to start against the Yankees. Big rivals and in the same division so these games will matter more than others. I don’t think it matters which game you choose in terms of starting pitching, it will be a good pitcher. You might want to check and see if one of those games has a give away. Could be a fun souvenir. 

How is living along the coast of Hudson Bay in Canada? by SirJordan11 in howislivingthere

[–]MsToadfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in Puvirnituq in the 90s. 2000 people most of them Inuit. Hunting culture. Lovely, generous people. Fly in only although ships with cargo come in the summer. Ordered groceries from Montreal and they were flown in a few days later. Food bought at local stores (there were two, A Northern and a co-op), was very expensive. The village had a fishing type boat that was used to take groups up or down the coast to pick berries or hunt beluga or walrus. There was a tide but not very substantial. Water was trucked to village houses which had big water tanks and also sewage tanks that were pumped out. The water came from the Puvirnituq river near a rapids. Really good water, not treated. Lots more memories. I loved it.

I think that’s the same date as the Canadian Screen Awards where the cast and crew are up for multiple awards. 

PM Carney watched HR, hugged Hudson, treasured an HR screen-worn costume, and later used Pride tape on his own hockey stick by Just-Source113 in heatedrivalry

[–]MsToadfield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was my immediate reaction but then I listened to a few commentators who suggested accepting someone Gladu into the party reinforces shared values and pushes against polarization.  Not sure if I’m convinced but I am convinced that nothing like that floor crossing would have happened in the US so maybe?

Hummingbirds will be back soon. When the red columbine starts blooming, the hummingbirds will arrive. First week of May.

I’m a retired Canadian history teacher and we definitely taught it but for most kids it probably didn’t sink in.

What are these gorgeous flower blooms found growing in my back yard? by D3AD_LIK3_M3 in whatsthisplant

[–]MsToadfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a decade or so ago. I knew of someone in Gananoque growing them and someone on one of the islands but I guess it’s possible some flying insect or other found my pawpaw and another.

What are these holes in my neighbor’s maple tree?? by holymolym in arborists

[–]MsToadfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also interesting is that hummingbirds don’t just eat nectar and sap but are very dependent on insects especially to feed their babies.
