So the Aussies have expaned Ben Taub?

Nice.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for the government to step in and make all the insurance carriers and all the providers adopt a single standard. That would eliminate a lot of waste right there.

Not a bad idea. Expensive to implement but could pay for itself.

Shareholder profits don't bother me much; profit is a motive to have an efficient organization with strict cost control proceedures.

Some of those nations have waiting lists for proceedures. What are they waiting for?

Agree. I just don't see the Govt. ever trying to work hard and employ continual service improvement for non-paying customers.

And wait lists are not just for procedures. Even simple things like CAT scans can take months.

Who says it'd be better? Canada and the UK systems are not.

When I used to spend time in London every week on the telly they had a show about how bad their care is.

If Hillary couldn't do it, nobody can. She's my man!

Do you want my thoughts on non-profit healthcare of Governemnt run healthcare?

Govt. waste is a fact of life, and I don't see how Govt. healthcare would be the exception to that rule.

I remeber when The Heights smelled like patchouli oil and dirty birkenstocks.

I think the only apartments left are 1/2 way down Mid Lane.

Looks to be a few salvage items left. There was some cool detail on some of the stairs.

Cullen University would be very cool. Not every school in the UH system has to be UH-something. Just look at Lamar, Angelo State, Texas State (now that is a bad name).

Some folks call anything in the loop "downtown". Maybe that's the confusion.

At one time the main campus was called UH - University Park.

Closing of what streets?

While not closed, Dallas St. from Allen Center to Fannin is total mess.

The entire right lane is closed.

So has anyone looked at the 1-series convertible?

Well equiped they end up almost as much as a 3.

It's "Tunnel Rat". And I don't participate in that game.

I wouldn't walk to MMP if I worked in the Cotton Exchange.

Biesball is very, very boring to ME.

So what do they enjoy out of season?

Also, typical lazy Houstonians. Too lazy to walk or take the train ;-)

My first thought was the game of life.

That's neat.

Anyone ever notice the Houston House garage exit sign says:

"Enjoy the Game"

What's up with this?

I remember going to the firs station with my parents to register their bikes. 1972ish.

Sounds like the same soundtrack at the HEB on Fountainview and in Atascocita.

Hope they can avoid the SI curse ;-0

I think the Bible says it's OK to beat your wife.

Does Lakewood "Church" even use the Bible?

This is just a simple case of people not knowing how to treat royalty.

My mother in law's MDX's tranmission blew up. Acura took care of her but what a drag that was on a two year old car.

Banking and Telecom ain't what it used to be...

Gas Fields have Headquarters? OK then...

Too bad it's ran by East Coast Yankees (Chesapeake Energy ((the ugly Bush daughter's Hubby works there as an MBA turd)).

Sellouts...

I'll share this with my Dad. Class of 66.

That's my opinion of him as well. I remember seeing him all the time at Kim Son in the Moody Towers.

He looks likey your typical fat cat State of Texas employee.

UH at HP would have been a perfect fit. Maybe they should have tried the UHCL route. It would have been a nice with the the community college down the street (for transfers).

There are still a lot of businesses out at Greenspoint. Exxon Chemicals has a lot of people there.

Granted, the mall is lame. But that's the trend with malls today. They are all lame.
