  1. There are ways to accomplish the same thing in the the browser, but I forget all the keystrokes at times.
  2. Yeah, sometimes we are not very nice to one another.
  3. I really would have thought Mexico would be a lot higher up the list.
  4. What about what operating systems people are on? How many of us are Mac, Linux or Windows users. Thanks! Okay, I have been a HAIFer for how long now, and I am just now seeing that button! Thanks for the tip.
  5. But what about quality of life. Some places (cities) have a fraction of Houston's population, but are far more livable. I want quality over size.
  6. Okay, now I do know "Downtown." I really liked that song. Why couldn't Feb 1, 1966 have that as a hit. That other song drew a complete blank for me.
  7. Good heavens. Now we'll have that many folks to contend with on Houston freeways. Growth is not always a good thing.
  8. Is that in the mall too? Food court or restaurant? That's interesting. I wonder if Reagan knew who he was at the time?
  9. I've really never had a problem with Chron's speed.
  10. You can subscribe on your iPod. It is much leaner content.
  11. My mother, the one person I know that actually buys the Chron, does. I think she feels she is living in the future.
  12. Maybe, but they're going to keep bleeding money with print if they keep this up. NO ONE READS PRINT any more. Well, a few people, like my 70 year old mom who can't imagine reading a paper online, but who else?
  13. It's not nearly that bad ... ... but it makes you wonder how the economy is affecting all aspects of life here in Houston. From the looks of it, they (day workers) are not getting work like they used to.
  14. The writing is on the wall for printed papers. They really should go the way of other papers and go completely online.
  15. If you're interested, and have the courage, take I45 north to Aldine Bender. Man, it is beginning to look like Westpark with all the day laborers set up and camped out in the parking lots.
  16. Does every area need cookie-cutter shops like every other ...?
  17. Okay.... and what does it mean when black folks, Hispanics, and others have been voting for whites for years (sometimes when whites were not the only 'race' on the ballot)? I believe that race is sometimes, but not always, a motivating factor for OR against. Sometimes a candidate is just a candidate and the best one out there. Personally, I do not goto the voting booth and say "Oh, I am gonna vote for this one because she's Jewish, or that one because she's Asian, or NOT that one because he's Hispanic." Maybe some folks do, but I hope I don't know any of them as friends or family.
  18. I am on the Greater Greenspoint mailing list. This was in the latest issue of their e-newsletter: Program Launched to Help Greenspoint Apartments The Greenspoint District is kicking its public awareness campaign into high gear with a new program targeting the unique challenges of area apartments. In addition to arming the community with information that can reduce the likelihood of being a victim of crime, the District is offering apartment owners incentives for property improvements that enhance curb appeal and make for a safer environment. Click here for the full story New Executive Director Targets Projects along Greens Bayou Bayous have long been a part of Houston's landscape, providing both challenges and opportunities. A local advocacy group has stepped up its efforts to bring flood remediation projects and additional park development to north Houston communities along Greens Bayou. Click here for the full story Free Immunizations, Channel 13 Blood Drive The Harris County Hospital District's Troubleshooters Immunization Program will be at Greenspoint Mall on Friday, March 20, to administer immunizations and flu shots. Immunizations are free and available to anyone age 21 or younger. Flu shots are available for all ages at a cost of $10.

  19. They put on their pants one leg at a time just like the rest of the world.
  20. Yeah, because there is really no difference between Spring, north Houston or The Woodlands.
  21. Not sure where the conversation has gone since your original post, but I don't think voting should be tied to how much taxes you pay.
  22. Okay, I know the mall gets a bad rap but I went there Sunday on my hunt for a new Macbook. I have to say, I was impressed. No armed gunmen jumped me, I guess the roving heards of pirates and thug must have been sleeping or maybe they're off on Sundays, but no one hijacked me or hit me on the head ...even as I walked around the mall and to my car with about $2k of new Apple goodness.
