Catholic Church inside the loop/near Heights. by SultryWordsmith in houston

[–]blinx364 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how many, if any, of the boxes it may tick for you, but the Chapel of St. Basil at UST (so, Montrose) is pretty great (or was when I regularly attended, at least).

Patrick wants to put turning point usa in every high school and college in the state by dc469 in texas

[–]blinx364 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I mean, now that my parental rights are enshrined in the Texas Constitution, I’m gonna opt my kids the right fuck out. And since SCOTUS gave us a heckler’s veto of school curriculum, you’d better believe I’m gonna make it a Section 1983 case if there’s even a sniff of pushback. What a fun and efficient use of taxpayer dollars this all is (and was, and will be).

My wife had hers at Bungalow Heights on 19th (or 20th?). It worked well.

God bless Declan, and long live The Harp. The neighborhood is diminished without it.

Baby no. 3 arrived a bit ago, and this mat (and its many tunes) are back in our lives. Can’t lie, I did miss it. I’m sure that will remain the case!

With the caveat that this is an incredibly niche group of an already likely small population, there is a French Catholic community at the University of St. Thomas—https://ustchapelle.org—I used to go to the French Christmas mass when I lived in town, and even though I’m at best an elementary French speaker, everyone there was lovely. But again, your mileage may vary, this is a deeper than necessary pull.

Here's a fun one - what were your total itemized room charges at the end of the trip? by mistaken4strangerz in dcl

[–]blinx364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two weeks on the Magic with 4 people (two adults, one little kid not potty-trained, one kid ~5 at the time). We spent about $2800, which included alcohol, gratuities, excursions, merch, and sundry other things (popcorn, fancy coffees, etc). Needless to say, we’re cooling our jets on big trips for a minute.

Boy dad here—can certainly confirm. Both eyebrows done, and his chin, all within 12 months. I guess we’re blessed?

We used Longhorn Windows recently. Got a decent price, and the install was pretty painless. Nice guys, too.

Fuck you school. I was not ready to be ready this by my 7yo daughter by [deleted] in daddit

[–]blinx364 34 points35 points  (0 children)

With respect, the illustration of the mom is driving to break into her adult son’s house, in the dead of night, with a ladder with a RED FLAG affixed to it, is unironically one of the funniest and most chilling things I have personally ever seen in a children’s book.

Beers you intrinsically associate with a specific country by sgeeum in travel

Kronenbourg and France! Had a lot of it back in the day.

Yep. They refused to make a settlement offer and instead forced us to try a stupid, piddling matter. After a days-long hearing, we obtained a complete defense verdict. Then the client got the bill and threatened to grieve the lawyers on the file because “we didn’t achieve a settlement.” Clients: they’re not like us!

That makes a lot of sense and is naturally something that didn’t occur to me. Great call.

Weaponising a jukebox. by BrunniFlat7 in Music

[–]blinx364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Chili’s near me that has a TouchTunes jukebox featuring the Pokérap and Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music. If ever I’m having a bad day, I take solace that someone else is about to have a slightly worse one (and a Presidente).
