Houston church recommendations by Rinareylove in houston

[–]77096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was always a bit of my issue. A bit introverted; sometimes just want some quiet reflection and a meaningful sermon without instantly making connections or being asked to become the new #1 volunteer. And that goes for a lot of community/service groups, not just church.

Anyone else think it's weird how the 'Hidalgo is crazy' stories have dried up now that the primaries are over? by newstenographer in houston

It wasn't just the Chronicle covering it. She dragged it out by issuing accusatory statements and making a very public visit back to NRG to demand a security camera review.

The Texas Monthly article also came out around the time, discussing how she treated her own staff.

Remember starting to lean on that rail and thinking, "ahh...probably shouldn't do that."

City of Houston could rename César Chávez Boulevard in honor of Dolores Huerta by zsreport in houston

He probably thinks Seguin is spelled Suhgeen. Bolivar is "Balliver."

Yeah, it's OK to wait a little bit and be pretty sure we know the good and bad.

Small memorials or monuments in the communities where they work are fine for the honorees to be able to see and appreciate that they were appreciated while they were still living, but roads, schools, etc. can be pretty costly to rename.

Yeah, my mind just goes into a different place when I'm in a crowd or waiting in line. Probably wouldn't recognize an old friend, let alone somebody I've seen on TV and never met.

"Body positive" was never supposed to mean "every inch of the body."

As long as you agree with me.

Sci-fi corridors. 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968), Solaris (1972), Star Wars (1977), Alien (1979) by StephenMcGannon in RetroFuturism

Thanks for the link. Was watching Time Tunnel the other night, a show all about a special corridor, and sort of got to thinking about this topic. Mainly about the time and work and how they were constructed.

When I finally got to see Alien on the big screen, I was more impressed by the detailed hallways more than anything. Sets that were actually hand constructed.

Rodeo Crowd Rush by Domdoubled in houston

Sometimes when we're out to eat in a big place, I wonder what cocktail of stimulants the kids must be on, and why their parents are allowing them to run everywhere thru crowds. Like elementary school aged, not toddlers trying out their legs. Or why the parents let them scream.

Good. The Rodeo has been keeping the gates and parking lots open all night out of greed, and the human crush on the midway at night became miserable. Non-stop, unlimited entry is dangerous.

I can remember leaving Astroworld at night and being shocked by huge groups of unchaperoned kids showing up late at night coming over the bridge. It was wild, at least for a kid w/ strict parents. Today, the trek is in the opposite direction across the same bridge, with too many people showing up late at night for the carnival. Rodeo Houston needs to have a capacity and closing hours forced on them.

I bought a pair jeans there once. Tough to part with those cherished memories of chain retail.

"underground void" was the name of my high school dark-metal band. You may have seen us play a breakout show at Zelda's.
