GREASER

well if looks fairly easy to do the academics, but is it easy to break into the buisness...I see you have to have a sponsor for a while, are you working for free during that time? Is there a demand for inspectors? Why does everyone work for themselves? How do you get refferals from real estate agents?

have some general questions about the buisness.

well these same people, I am sure, would blame someone else if gas was 6$ a gallon. Anyway, maybe my statements arent very clear, but hopefully my core idea is coming thru.

You are insinuating that somehow them consuming oil and oil products conficts with them thinking we shouldn't trade blood for oil (their words not mine). This doesn't make any sense to me. Put yourself in their shoes. Do you not think it is a possiblility that if we hadn't gone to war he could continue to use his oil products??? Perhaps that's the chain of events he would have preferred. What is so hard to understand about that?

I'm sure there could be a rational complaint about these people but you haven't verbalized it yet.

They were the ones with the signs, so like me, they feel the war is about oil..so why continue to contibute to the problem as they see it..problem being oil consumption and our need to control supplies..maybe I dont make sense in text, but those idiots in the parade were asses, but it is their right.

these people were actually IN the parade...not sure how that works.

So at the veterans parade, there were people with signs that said no more blood for oil...ok cool, got that, but these same people were driving cars, and wearing tennis shoes with rubber soles? Why do they keep contributing to the demand for oil? I am sure they use plastic as well as complain about the cost of fuel when it rises..I agree that may be the real reason we are over there, but also see the big picture that we rely on oil, and not willing to give up my lifestyle, so see the reason we are over there...Please dont waste bandwith with stupid comments, just explain what these peoples complaint is, and why they still use oil products?

A demographic change to more white people on the east side ? It would take a huge amount of white people to do that, since every time Ive gone over to the east side it seemed predominanently hispanic, (probably 75-80% hispanic, and 10+% black and just a fraction of whites).

ya this is more what I was refering to...

I have noticed a big demographics change at the grocery store over the last 6 months or so...is it my imagination?? I have also heard a few derogatory remarks at the store aimed at hispanics....just outright rude and ignorant remarks. Any one notice this?

Yes, but lately there seem to be more so I hardly get noticed. I suppose the next step will be to start announcing the store specials in English every now and then.

I know what you mean about the Gulfgate HEB...instead of making it nice, they turned it into a Fiesta...if people want Fiesta, they will go there..they should be trying to improve the neighborhood, but I do love the 80`s dance music they play there. You must be the other cracker I saw...hahah...and are the demographics of the neighborhood changing or is it just me...kinda noticed it at the store last 6 months

happened to me too..I looked quickly but the little rug rats ran off too fast....really wanted to catch them and find their parents...I was the only one on the street giving out actuall candy bars, go figure.

I look like a greaser from The Outsiders

this may be a joke...didnt read the whold thing thru, but a post on Baytown Sun board had the same thing..said it happened in Baytown?

well its above the rear window I need like 14 inches above rear window..not that big of deal, its for a chop...I just wanted to get the right crown with little work....and its always good to have a extra top for small pieces...that motor is awesome.

well the reason I said aluminum was cause it was so nicely finished...that motor is awesome...any 49-51 fords in that graveyard? Looking for back half of roof section, and maybe another flathead (merc. of course prefered)

on that red abortion I would pull out the center section and move the front end back to the cowl...the front would end up looking like the lunar lander on the H.A.M.B.....kinda cool start, but I would be careful....post pics on the HAMB....see what feedback you get...but your metal work looks really good....but it looks like aluminum?

I have a friend coming from Sweden soon. She has visited Houston many times and wants to move here. She is currently a home inspector in her country. She wants to get her real estate license and/or home inspector license in the US and is not sure how to go about it. ...RPS any hints? She will be here for a week to visit with some real estate schools...is this the way to go?

If I remember correctly the old pipes have a life span of around 50 yrs...once they leak they will wash away soil and thats when the cracking starts

now can we just get rid on all the damn fajita smoke at restraunts...

need the exterior painted, dont want to use day laborers as its a 2 story and dont want anyone falling...kinda scared of the power washer, I imagine water would be everywhere in the house? (wood siding..old t-105.....it there anyone that actually scrapes and brushes anymore?

no one?

Starfish roofing has a new roofing membrane they are using...713-say-roof

and I dont want the ones that come in and power wash everything....more like scrape/prime/paint. Dont want to spend a arm and leg. Already though about day laborers but its a 2 story and dont feel like someone falling and filing on me

yes you do get used to it and it doesnt really bother you at all

I think people go to taco milagro to stand around and look cute...the food isnt worth crap....I dont really care about atmosphere (god I hate that word) I will pick La Tapatia over Hugos any day. What about Connies seafood on Wayside?? It looks like a store? I get a little intimidated when all of the sign is in Spanish..

I was meaning on the east side...Wayside/Navigation area..Tapatia on Richmond is actually my fave restraunt...all day happy hour Wed and Mojito night is Thurs. Actually looking for places closer to home...Tia Marias in Baytown, hands down, has the strongest margaritas I have ever had.
