  1. I know we are still in Afghanistan to a degree-I think we should have a larger presence there until the job is done but Cheney and Bush decided to go after someone who had nothing to do with 9.11 instead of finishing the job at hand. Why? Who knows? Because Saddam put a contract out on GHW Bush so the son used the Presidency to take revenge? Oil? WMD? We may never know in our lifetime. I'm sure however the families of 3000+ dead would love to have an answer-as meager as the consolation may be.
  2. Great!!! Now what about the ceiling finish? Floor? Cabinet pulls?
  3. http://www.bythebayou.com/2006/12/boom-in-...eal-estate.html Now for the kids: even more crap to worship!!!
  4. You are correct in that regard. I was merely pointing out the third error in question: that copyeditor is a one word title. C'mon, dal! How much more blatint...blatent...I mean blatant do I need to be?
  5. I think it's a disservice to the victims of 9.11 to place the blame on Saddam. There is no evidence Saddam had anything to do with 9.11. However, there is overwhelming evidence Osama was the mastermind of 9.11 yet we abandoned our search for our real and immediate enemy when we had the vast majority of the country
  6. One got a medal around his neck...guess who? But hey, it was a fabulous show trial: impotent puppet judges protected by US security forces [because Iraq can't even defend a trio of judges-much less Baghdad]; assasinated defense lawyers all wrapped up with hanging by mob rule. Who could ask for more? After all, it's only taken us 3000+ lives to get here.
  7. It was always a street and a rail line. When we were kids we would ride our bikes there and watch the cars squish our penney. The rail has been gone a long time-now it's to be a future bikeway. Here's the HAIF thread.
  8. "A good Copyeditor can find three mistakes in this sentence" As a title, Copyeditor is normally used as one word.
  9. Maybe because they don't have to cow-tow to the anti-science, christian taliban wing of their party for votes anymore?
  10. Stupid just got stupider: http://www.bythebayou.com/2006/12/boom-in-...eal-estate.html
  11. They could always put in clear skylights-like the original. No pop-flys to worry about missing...
  12. Wonder how much Coog os donating to fix the environment because so far all we've gotten from her is a lot of hot air.
  13. You are correct. Here in the Heights they defiantly do replace old yet solid homes with cheaply constructed McMansions on newly barren lots. And you are also correct: they don't replace the 100 year old live oaks, towering pine and pecan trees and majestic White Oaks cut down to accommodate yet another homogeneous future slum dwelling. Who needs trees when you can pave over a 6000 sq/ft lot with a 10,000 sq/ft house with pool and pool house, make a bundle off of a couple of suckers who don't know any better to demand more for the money they are investing in their future? C'est la vie and the consequences that come with it!
  14. An evening on a blanket looking at the stars and listening to the symphony at Miller Theatre. A stroll across the pedestrian bridge behind the Hobby late at night. My best friend's Japanese Koi pond and garden and this: which is a private venue not available to my fellow posters
  15. Normally I wouldn't respond to your posts but I couldn't help but take note of your back-handed, racist remark. This is not the place for juvenile, racist rants. You would do well to take it elsewhere before you get so out of hand as to be reported.
  16. American Apparel workers don't stand to lose outThey gain stock in sale of business; founder stays put

  18. But the most important thing is Afton Oaks won't be bothered by LRT or the ilk it carries! Let them eat cake!!!
  19. Somewhere among my family's photos there is a picture of my somewhat bohemian Grandma hanging out of a Heights Blvd. streetcar. I'll have to canvas my sisters and see if I can locate it. It was taken near 11th and Heights.
  20. How do you determine "multiple accounts"? You booted my partner because we share the same internet account even though we have separate email addresses. Is that your criteria?
  21. This is the only one I have a problem with: Woodlands area teens coming to Montrose to murder a gay man with nail-studded 2x4s-just for fun. Otherwise you offer up an excellent analysis.
  22. Filio is usually a "shoot from the lip" poster with little thought or facts to back up her rants. She is NOT indicative of most Houstonians or posters in this forum. I find it best not to enable her.
  23. Check this out as well for great ideas. Atkins on Fannin has many of the same types: http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/cabinet.html
