^^^ I can understand this cast adjustment. With Sheldon being in college now, Tam is no longer in his picture, but Billy Sparks continues to be the kid next door and the only other boy that Sheldon has done any real connecting with which brings me to this next question. Have we seen the last of the girl named Paige? I don't know how everyone else feels about her, but if she were to be written out, I wouldn't miss her. I can't stand people like her who do nothing but put other people down as their way of trying to appear older, more mature, and more experienced. True, Sheldon is no different, but Sheldon has had plenty of mature moments like being there for his mom and sister when they need a person to talk to. Heck even Sheldon was there for Paige when she needed someone to listen when she talked about her parents getting divorced.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I love the conversation that Sheldon has with his mom when she struggled with her faith after learning about the girl who is killed in a car accident during season three. His chat with Missy at the end of the season four closer is also good.
