      I'm confused. You should post a venn diagram to explain.

  2. "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election". Warren Buffet

  3. SHUT UP! Fran Lebowitz noted wryly that the opposite of talking isn't listening, it's waiting. "A lot of people have a tendency too quickly to say, 'That's interesting, now listen to my story!,'" says Gabor. "Instead of actively listening and thinking, 'Gosh, I want to know more about this,' we're just waiting for our turn to talk." Be the exception!

  4. "Roger adds that the West Inner Loop has over 94% occupancy" This is interesting data. Would West inner Loop comprise of N. Loop to S. Loop? More like I-10 to 59,no?
  5. The quickest way to impress triplets is to not spend ten minutes discussing the fact that they're triplets.

  6. As palavras são novasAs palavras são novas: nascem quandoNo ar as projectamos em cristaisDe macias ou duras ressonânciasSomos iguais aos deuses, inventandoNa solidão do mundo estes sinaisComo pontes que arcam as distâncias.

  7. I try, I really do try to enjoy TV. What am I to do, when a show such as CSI still hasn't learned where light switches are located yet ALWAYS solve the crime! I so understand why my books are screaming my name. "Hey Idiot, over here!!!"

  8. The visit home to Port Arthur for the reunion did not achieve what Joplin had hoped, and once again she left town feeling rejected and unloved.

  9. A man knocked at his Bedouin friend’s door to ask him a favor:“I want you to lend me four thousand dinars because I have a debt to pay. Can you do that for me?”The friend asked his wife to gather together everything they had of value, but even so it was not enough. They had to go out and borrow money from the neighbors until they managed to get the full amount.When the man left, the woman noticed that her husband was crying.“Why are you sad? Now that we’ve got ourselves in debt with our n...

  10. If anyone needs to "ask" if we are friends, then I suspect we must not be.

  11. "Erasure's current tour, "Tomorrow's World Tour," promoting their new album, is an absolute delight! Whether you've seen them 20 times or never before, Erasure has hit the perfect note with their latest performance. They have provided the ultimate blend of songs, seamlessly combining tracks from the new album with some of their more well known hits from the last 25 years. This is not simply a promotion of their latest album, but rather a celebration of their amazing catalog of songs. And of c...

      Strange. Then I guess everyone is in love with me. :)

  14. Those who criticize the current generation forget who raised it!

      False. It is in fact possible to criticize the "current generation", whomever they are, and also remember whomever were previously their legal guardians.

  15. Taqueria, Cucina, Bistro, Ristorante, Chaucer Street, Jacinto City, Plaza, etc. Last time I was in New Orleans, there were at least two French spellings of names. We've been lexical borrowing for centuries.
  16. Question. Does or has any one lived in this type of condo, with a ground floor restaurant. Are there odors in your apt or balcony? I realize the vent hood would be placed on the rooftop of course. I would hope by code at least those built now.
  17. I believe that once you put vodka in a martini, it is no longer a martini.

      Touché on the name being bastardized. lol

      A variation called the James Bond Martini:

      ‘A dry Martini,’ he said. ‘One. In a deep champagne goblet.’ 

      ‘Oui, Monsieur.’ 

      ‘Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large slice of lemon-peel. Got it?’

       I  just refer to these and the other 1, 374 variations of this this sort of drink, a shot. It would be like  Cerebral Hemorr...

  18. I just ran across this (old) post. I voted historical. I think an Aguarium would be a great idea. The one Downtown is not an Aguarium, that one should be ripped out at once or turned into a full kiddy amusement park, not the wanna' be it is now. The locale would be a great, non local, visitor "draw" as the Dome and World were, once upon a time.

  20. Yes, for sure. I actually ran acros a very similar high-rise 2727 Kirby minus the balconies, believe it was in Europe somewhere. It was on an architectural site I was cruising. I meant to post the foto here, but got side tracked and now can't remember which site it was.
  21. Something similar to this style, could possibly kick-start a new look for our fair city. http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=17554
