  1. I say do it twice a week. I get too much junk mail as it is.
  2. Pappas BBQ has some of the best breakfast tacos around.
  3. OMG do we really need another Taco Cabana. Besides the fact that their food is sub-par (and they never seem to have much business), they are already all over Houston.
  4. Two places on FM 1960: Las Salcitas on FM 1960 (east of I45 but right before Treschwig (spelling?) next to Whataburger. Deliciously greasy and well seasoned 'Tex-Mex' (but I think the owner is Honduran or Salvadoran). Cheap. Good. Greasy. Juanitas #3 in Beaver Creek Shopping Plaza (also on FM 1960 but West of I45). Excellent Mexican food.
  5. Pappadeaux's has this Pontchartrain Panbroiled Fillet Topped with crabmeat & shrimp in a brown-butter wine sauce with dirty rice. But at $23 I don't have it too often.
  6. There is also a Q-Tip the rapper out of Queens, NY.
  7. Since I wear my hair really short, I cut my own hair.
  8. A good 50% or more (my estimate) of the news outlets seem to be reporting that things are stabilizing and could get better in 2009. I agree, that we have not seen the worst of this and things are going to get MUCH worse before they get better. Combined with the fact that gasoline is getting more expensive (up 12 cents in the past 2 weeks) and we're in for a roller coaster ride. The DOW seems to be a bit more stable, but even it's up and down daily.
  9. The Sizzlers in Puerto Rico are pretty good. They have 'American' fare, but also island favorites known as comida criolla. Pretty tasty.
  10. I don't watch Channel 2 on the regular. I had no idea who you were talking about until I saw the picture.
  11. I am few of those things and live in the suburbs. Man, there is just a mess of people's opinions about suburbanites.
  12. I don't want to see it either, and generally don't look. But more than boxers showing, I hate seeing cr*ck! I hate it. But I also hate seeing people with tattoos, people wearing house shoes outside, and people with rollers in their hair outside. But again, it's not that big a deal and if that is how they want to present themselves to the world, God bless 'em.
  13. I blogged about driving for something I had a hankering for: http://thehoustonmacbro.blogspot.com/2008/...e-for-meal.html
  14. I lived in Baltimore w/in walking distance of Mondawmin Mall ... I do not remember a metro (train) stop there.
  15. On a related note I heard some economists say that about 50% of all current stores will close down in the next 2 years or so, simply because they cannot make it through this current 'economic situation'.
  16. I didn't find anything offensive about either one. Actually, I kinda liked the expression on Father Ted and never really knew where the picture was from.
  17. See, this is exactly the attitude I mentioned earlier. There IS a snobbery about living inside the loop. I don't understand why...
  18. If you can decide on a dish, share it with your significant other. Most portion sizes are WAY too big anyhow, so 1/2 of a typical meal is probably still more than a 'serving'. You'll be surprised how full you'll be even on a 1/2 meal. If it's not enough, you can always order a dinner salad to split as well or eat alone. You're $30 - $40 bill will pretty much be cut in half.
  19. I am vowing to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again unless it is after midnight and the stores have cleared out. The one on I45 N reminds me of some salvage depot yard sale. People running in and out, kids everywhere, parking lots full of folks hanging out or worse.
  20. Agreed. But I don't have nearly that many credit card bills. I pity the folks that do...
  21. I used to have the same password for just about everything. But lately I have been mixing it up and keeping a written list of passwords. Dang, hope no one ever looks under my keyboard.
  22. For a few years I was using TurboTax, but then my tax preparation needs got tricky (and the software questions I wasn't understanding completely). I have since been using a professional tax preparer.
  23. I like the fact that I can schedule payments with my bank and they do not hit (come out of my account) until that date. It makes it very convenient to pay. Bank of America is not perfect, but I like their bill payment system.
