Lovely...

Bingo! Isn't it funny how Conservatives suddenly don't like America? When Bush was in office it was unpatriotic to not support the President let alone bash everything he does in a time of war. They do that now with Obama. When Bush was in office if he had been giving a speech before Congress and a Democrat did what Joe Wilson did, disrespecting the office of the Presidency, that person would be branded unAmerican among many other things. I see nothing wrong w/ Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar, that's freedom of speech, but yelling it out while Obama was addressing Congress was a complete showing of disrespect for the office of the Presidency. Now Conservatives are OK w/ that... how odd. When Bush was in office Fox News claimed to be the "we love America" news network... now they can't stand America. Here's what I think. Conservatives aren't pro-America they are pro-conservatives. Conservatives don't love America they love the conservative parts of it. Conservatives aren't going to do anything to help Americans right now they are going to do whatever it takes to get elected in the next election. They claim they want health care reform but refuse to work towards it. They know if health care reform comes it will only help Obama... why would they want that? If you can turn on Fox News and not see w/ your own eyes that people like Hannity and Beck are making stuff up to scare Americans b/c let's face it if Conservatives know one thing it's that Americans are easily scared... then you are an idiot. You are also being taken advantage of by the people u support. And let's face it, you know there are some people out there who don't like Obama b/c he's black... they won't come out and say that obviously they will just say they don't like him b/c they don't think he was born in America or something stupid like that. It's becoming pretty obvious who the real "pro-America" party is and it's not the Republican Party. I've been saying that for a while now but wow has it become obvious.

That's great! They (lucky strike) usually don't have a lot of lanes compared to normal bowling alleys... so I think that's normal for them... can't wait to go something fun and different to do in the city!

Yea things are SLOWLY beginning to cool down. When u are used to upper 70s in the morning, low to mid 70s can feel cool! ha ha Looks like our afternoon temps will be in the low 90s for the upcoming week... that's going to feel great compared to the mid to upper 90s and even low 100s we have seen most of the summer! September begins on Tuesday it's all downhill (temperature-wise) from there!

No, there weren't... I thought there should have been, also.

I live here b/c I got a job here after college.

I just wanted to give a little heads up to everyone out there. While at lunch today at the Chili's at 59 and Buffalo Speeday my car was broken into. The driver's window was smashed and they looked for stuff to take but only took a book of CDs. I had a GPS in there which they found but they didn't take that... why I don't know but I was told u can track them and maybe they knew that. I have reason to believe an employee or two there may (key word "may") have been involved. I don't have proof and won't go into details b/c I don't want to accuse someone of something unless I have proof... all I am saying is that if you go there park near a window where u can see your car! After it happened the employees at Chili's treated us WONDERFULLY... they were very kind, paid for our meal which they didn't have to do, helped us with anything we needed and I would DEFINITELY eat there again... I was very thankful for all of the help they gave and made sure to let them know that. I just want to make sure people don't think I am badmouthing them... they were wonderful and since I don't have proof someone was involved I can't really do anything. The cops took prints (they didn't want to but we insisted... jeez you would think cops would want to at least try and catch bad guys!) so that's all we have to work with. The point of this post was just to tell you that if you are in that area eating... anywhere, park where you can see your car. The cops told me the number of cars getting broken into in that area is extremely high.

That's just painful.

I have a question... not sure if anyone can help me out. I use AOL Instant Messanger to chat with friends... when at work I do this through www.meebo.com. I noticed one day one of my "buddies" had a second screen name next to his when he was online. What does that mean? Does that mean he was using that person's computer or aol account? He was chatting with his usual screen name... but when I looked at my buddy list a second name was next to his in italics. Anyone?

That's was south Texas needs! A nice tropical storm with good rain and not a lot of wind... something that moves inland quick enough that it doesn't cause major flooding.

Very nice.

I have been to Houston Pavilions several times but not sure how many times exactly... definitely more than 4 and i plan to go more with more things opening there. As for Discovery Green... been there many many times and will continue to go in the future... it's a great park.

I drove by yesterday... I really like the way it looks.

Maybe they just don't need that much time to plan such an event... I can't say for sure just a thought.

Great news for Houston! I hope they have it at Reliant Stadium.

She took the sign down... or so I heard.

From Houston Business Journal... Link to story Qatar Airways to open Houston office July 27th at Houston Pavilions Qatar Airways is opening an office in Houston to complement the airline’s flights between the Bayou City and Doha that started in late March. The office, located downtown in the Houston Pavilions, will officially open on July 27. “We made the decision to strategically locate our office in the central business district of Houston to make it easy for business and leisure passengers to make their travel arrangements,” Akbar Al Baker, chief executive officer of Qatar Airways, said in a statement. “Our offices will be staffed by trained, dedicated and courteous professionals who are prepared to help with any travel request. “We want the on-the-ground customer service experience to be as remarkable as our award-winning in-flight experience. That means there is no detail that is beneath or beyond our attention.”

Brian Distefano, marketing manager of the 43,000- square-foot House of Blues, which opened in October, said the Pavilions location has had the most financially successful launch in the 13-unit company's history. Wow... that's pretty impressive considering some of the other locations they have.

Ha ha ha... sorry... love the way that sounds... simple and right to the point. I agree.

Was is crying when he did all this? ....

Looks like the heat wave is finally going to end this weekend... Sunday into early next week look cooler with higher rain chances... could struggle to hit 90F on at least one of the days... we will see!

AMEN TO THAT!!
