This just never gets old. Yes, haters of Israel and haters of jews: my wiki page is right: I am a zionist. It’s not comparable to fascism or nazism or anything illegal immoral or fattening. I’m sorry you’ve been indoctrinated to believe otherwise. Thanks everyone for defending me and/or not bothering to argue politics when I post a picture of chocolate covered pretzels lol !!!

Hilarious Norman. I literally have to ensure he doesn’t lay directly in the fireplace , he loves it so much 🐶🔥

Take me back r I miss us there #Firenze #Lucca #monterrigioni

is so hot we have to keep him in this trailer lest he burn us all with his awesome fire.

When I talk about choosing #modest dress, people accuse me of “slut-shaming.” But when I write about #modesty, that’s not what I mean. I wrote all about it at (link in my bio)

On the way to our stage at warner bros I saw this.

 

Over the weekend:

I won !!# criticschoice

 

WARNING RANT: Now I don’t know who was complaining or how they managed to do it in a way that it was visible to Jim, but that nonsense from fans needs to end right now; it is rude and so crossing the line.   We are fortunate he still shared something that was private between he and Mayim, but don’t expect he will be letting you in on his private posts again and don’t ask for him to do so!   You cannot pressure him or push him to do things.  That is wrong and inconsiderate beyond means.   If you ever want him sharing anything ever again,  back off and realize he was being gracious to even respond at all.   Again, back off on the orders to celebrities.  They owe you nothing but to entertain in whatever medium they are performing in.  Not only was Jim annoyed, but you took away a precious moment for both he and Mayim.   This was her win and her moment to enjoy and now she probably feels bad that he was forced into posting something because of some people who felt it was their business to tell him what to do.   Just ugh!

ns A text I wrote to Mayim when she won her Critics Choice award. I realize some of you kids think nothing is “real” if it isn’t posted on social media, but some of us old people still manage to communicate somewhat privately. Thanks for the lecture, though! 😁

Spoilers:

There will not be a formal taping report, but here is a summary from the episode taped tonight and the link has a little bit more detailed summary from another viewer that is non-native language so she would like us to warn that she may have misunderstood some of the dialog:

 

Sheldon decides to try something new with Fun with Flags.  He decides to do a live broadcast instead of a  pre-taped show.   He has renamed the episode “Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler present Sheldon Cooper’s Fun With Flags.”  But things don’t go as planned for Sheldon.  Remember the broadcast is live and well….

In the meantime Raj breaks up with Emily and decides to try and get a relationship going with Claire only Claire already has a new boyfriend, which he learns after he broke up with Emily.   So he goes back to Emily to try and win her back, but Emily is not going to have it.   She is not happy with him.   So, during the broadcast, Raj and Barry Kripke both call in live and the show becomes more of an “Advice by Amy” show.   We all know how Sheldon reacts to that.  He feels his show is ruined.

Leonard and Penny  have a date night out at a restaurant but the wait is over an hour.  They definitely want a table and well…hilarity ensues as they decides to try and pursue a table through some antics.   In the end, their date night ends up at an In and Out Burger, where they eat in the car and decide to relive a revised youth where they are young together.   After having a night of fun, they burst in on the end of the Fun with Flags Episode.

Howard and Bernadette purchase a hot tub and after they get it home the realize it has a rat floating around in it.   They try to fish out the rat only to find out that it turns out to be a rabbit.   They take care of the rabbit, which ends up biting Howard.   He panics and so they run to the Emergency Room.   Bernadette mutters “I guess this isn’t the best time to tell him I’m Pregnant.”
