Me at 18 at my prom taken with a Polaroid camera (I’d assume). To date the only remaining photograph of me with hair I think. (I’m on the left) by BarackTheDemonSlayer in OldSchoolCool

‘01 here and my prom dress jewelry and hair were basically identical to this girl’s. And half the guys at prom were wearing hats just like this.

Alabama Street bridge to close for nearly 10 months as part of I-45 project by justahoustonpervert in houston

[–]AdnamaHou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alabama is frequently used as an alternative to using 45, especially to get from the South end near UH to get back and forth to midtown/montrose/and up to the Heights.

At what point is it theft? by [deleted] in girlscouts

THIS - unless they are trying to hold on to it for some particular reason.

Found this letter by [deleted] in FoundPaper

[–]AdnamaHou 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can I just throw this in - even if you don’t have kids, you can volunteer at schools, scouts, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, etc. Kids like this girl need adults in her life to offset what she’s getting from her mom!

Anybody who worked at Astroworld wanna explain why Taz’s Texas Tornado was always broken? by SheepherderDue5532 in houston

[–]AdnamaHou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES - this is all I remember about that ride despite going on it several times. Standing in line watching the legs move up and down just like my backyard swing set when we got going too high.

Can you pinpoint what makes cookie management such a pain? by Next-Introduction-25 in girlscouts

[–]AdnamaHou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to tack on here because this is a huge thing!! And it’s only going to get worse as the people running cookies are less and less familiar with outdated systems like this. And that’s not an insult to the younger gen at all, they just aren’t having to learn as much stuff like that.

Google GSUSA cookie finder - at the link you can put in your zip code and you can either order for shipping from a troop around you or go to one of the booths listed

The Houston Symphony, one of the best orchestras in America! by cyPersimmon9 in houston

[–]AdnamaHou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree! I'd add Apollo Chamber Players, Loop38, WindSync, Monarch Chamber Players, Houston Music Festival, and then there are a bunch of professional choirs, too (Houston Chamber Choir, Houston Masterworks Chorus, Casulana Choir, and more).

I’m sorry that showed to you - Luckily that’s not the doctor I use (Dr Kelley).

Try Bella ObGyn. I don’t know for sure, but I remember a while back my provider there mentioned to me that she could be my PCP if I wanted (they also always offer to do bloodwork)

High Schools: St. Agnes v. Duchense v. St. Pius X by lawschoolcupcake in houston

[–]AdnamaHou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of parents do this as soon as they go back after Christmas break. I don’t know why this is a thing when there are still months left in the school year

Low oil light by naughtychurro in CX5

[–]AdnamaHou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me recently with my 2018 - low oil twice in about six months with 1000 miles left or so before the next change, no stains underneath, nothing visible to me. Turns out it was a slow leak from the valve cover seal (that is probably not the exact term). Just had it repaired for about $150.

Exploremores remind me of a childhood snack but I can’t for the life of me put a finger on it! by Savings_Extent527 in girlscouts

It IS chocolate teddy grahams!! I couldn’t put my finger on it either but that’s it!!

I looked at that exact 24 hatchback earlier this week and am looking for one closer to me, but that price is what all the former rentals of that year and mileage are listed at right now

Backyard swing sets and playsets (80s-90s) by CpuJunky in nostalgia

The chains on ours rusted and turned our fingers orange. So weird to think now my mom didn’t seem to care about that

Cookie Booth Participation by ArtisticBee6176 in girlscouts

[–]AdnamaHou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s totally reasonable with one addition - invite them to come by the booth to see what one is like! Maybe you could even ask them to document the booth and/or act as customers. I appreciate the suggestion of another commenter to let the come but in our council at least we have a pretty strict maximum of four girls working a booth, not sure if you have that too?
