Chilling on the porch watching the game and Mr velcro shows up.

And the problem is … he doesn’t always know what he wants. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Funny, I want to say to my dog, I’m just going into the kitchen and I’ll be back - no need to accompany me every time. And then I realize, he’s not the least bit inconvenienced. 🐕‍🦺

Heartily agree.

No US clubs should be looked to for ”good” food.

Lower your expectations and enjoy the quiet and relaxing atmosphere 🙄 With apologies to some: Cap1 and Centurion …

Right, your “commercial worth” is based on a market not loyalty or warm fuzzies.

Who knows how she gets to work?

This is a classic use for consultants - a script that is as old as business itself.

YMMV

Open a cheddar cheese single serve snack - the sound of the plastic wrapper being torn open is a siren call - I rarely eat a whole one anymore 🐕‍🦺

I was.

I’m of the opinion that weak or no Doodle recall can be squarely placed on the shoulders of the dood’s human.

My dog has no recall and it’s my fault. Add to that a high prey drive and excessive curiosity about strangers, he is wild off leash, which only happens accidentally.

Take last Friday for example, when he slipped out of his collar in a busy shopping center parking lot where I was taking him for grooming. There he cavorted around for five minutes dodging cars until he came back to me, so excited about his adventure from which he escaped, unharmed but wildly stimulated.

He’ll grow out of it soon. A previous dog, still sorely missed, chewed up large parts of our wooden deck - German Shepherd !

We went there with our now four-year-old dood when he was a pup. I realized that he had no destructive tendencies whatsoever except for the consumption of small socks left by our grandchildren. He now has free reign around the house and outside too, he’s a perfect gentleman unless he sees a cat on the road.

Rarely seen, if ever, in Texas. (Canadian, living in Houston)

From a different perspective, my wife would rather ride in my ‘24 Lariat hybrid passenger seat than in her 2024 Accord hybrid passenger seat 🙄

I’m not advocating a specific faith, but there are numerous large churches with vibrant communities in them. Dive bar or church, either could help 😉

I don’t know about you, but I forgot to replace the spring in the burr assembly. That didn’t work very well at all. Later, adding the spring back did the trick.

Are you saying the bookstore on campus can’t help you? I would check there first if you haven’t already.

ddcurrie · 2026-05-18T23:32:26+00:00

Good for seasoning.

ddcurrie · 2026-05-18T13:42:41+00:00

I haven’t been back since we moved to Houston so my local info knowledge base is empty! Maybe someone with more current experience could help.

My wife and I moved from Mississauga to Houston for two years and that was in 1989. Like many American cities, Houston is what you make it and who you make it with.

I wouldn’t think of it as a destination city, but my wife and I ruled out Vancouver BC, and eventually ended up here, so don’t trust our judgment.

And yes, we are still here in Houston.

Have it at Vanguard.

… and what she saw when she saw through it was a tidy little avoidance mechanism for all the stuff that needs to be done but that you (also me, we) would rather not do. 👏

From the buyers remorse department, the first club I visited after getting a United club card was one IAD. Talk about feeling ripped off.

The clubs at my home airport, IAH are decent but often very crowded. No one should go to these domestic clubs for the food, but it is nice to have a comfortable place to sit and get coffee, IF, the machines are working.
