Anyone watching Carnival Row?

We're East of Tampa, and we're good. Hubby's Storm Shield worked again (he's home for his birthday, which was Labor Day). Got a day off of school out of it. Not liking all those other things brewing in the Gulf and Atlantic, though...

You're so right @chucky. Here's some more pics. 1st is of flames shooting out of the roof. 2nd and 3rd are of a teacher's classroom downstairs. 4th is/was the Testing Room (also downstairs) where all the exams and records for State Testing are/ were kept. I spent many many hours in that room. I have heard that due to concerns about stability, it will be torn down. The 7th grade team that was based in that building is being moved to another part of campus and is considering renaming themselves The Phoenixes.

Lightning struck a building at a school that I worked at for 12 years. The sad thing is it destroyed one of the original buildings... over 100 years old. Hoping the link to the pics work.

Probably not those of us who have had to take care of a parent and/or grandparent.

You know, if you think about it, the Lenny baby is also Imaginary. Barring a reboot or movie, we will never see Baby Hofstadter so it will only live in our imaginations.

I think I went through 3 tissues right then...

Um, didn't I say something about a time jump and an event involving Leonard and Penny??? CALLED IT!

I think a big hint came from the promo for next week's Young Sheldon season finale. Much like we found out about Shamy kids on YS, I think we find out about Shamy Nobel in the same way.

Meanwhile, I'm busy watching Hockey playoffs. Here's my Hockey Boyfriend...Go Bolts!

I prefer Oatmeal Raisin over Chocolate Chip!

I hope Howard gets an answer, because I can totally emphasize with him. Here's why: my Dad left when I was an infant in the 70s, never be heard from again; no child support was awarded either. Mom changed my last name from his to her maiden name when I was 4. I never even got so much as a card from him growing up. Fast forward to 2001. I Googled my Dad and found his address. My plan was to drive up there, pound on his door, and demand an answer so that I could close that chapter of my life before I got married the next year. I chickened out and 2 years later he died. When I co
