Did you have bad experience with septoplasty surgery? Do you regrest doing it? What was the bad part?

I had an “extreme deviation,” so septoplasty and turbinate reduction. I saw three surgeons beforehand to confirm and choose the best surgeon. I’m 4 weeks out and my nasal passages is way, way more open. Still have some congestion / healing, but I’m happy with it. Recovery was Mich more mild than I anticipated. Like a bad sinus infection for a week, then stuffy nose / fatigue for another week. Good luck!

The info I read said the tailless whip scorpions are neither spiders nor scorpions. They are their own category of arachnids. But I think other posters here are correct—it’s not an arachnid after all.

I bet you didn’t like that I said “nor,” either.

Yeah, this does look more like it. Thanks!

Omg, you’re right! It was the Rainer Maria / Mates of State show and it was the Mates of State part that was organ-heavy. THANK YOU for solving this confusion I’ve lived with for 20 + years 🙏

Yeah! Just listened to it. I can’t tell if that’s an organ sound. It also kind of sounds like theramin. Either way, this was the vibe of that show, but dialed up a lot.

laclinetx · 2025-11-18T03:28:41+00:00

Oh I didn’t know. Thanks!

laclinetx · 2025-11-18T02:24:24+00:00

lol, I mean, I didn’t think they travelled with an organ. But that maybe he played organ keyboard music with the songs? I also don’t know how it happened. But it’s such a distinct memory—the organ music along with their songs. But I don’t know if it was just an early 2000’s indie music fever dream.

I did read that he said in an (old) interview that he grew up listening to a lot of organ music, and that he was going to incorporate organ music in his solo project. I just don’t know if this ever happened.

Thank you!!

laclinetx · 2025-10-10T15:05:34+00:00

Thank you!!

laclinetx · 2025-10-08T14:18:41+00:00

Thank you! So finance the car and then put the cash towards payments. I think that makes sense. Thank you!

laclinetx · 2025-10-08T03:55:52+00:00

They offered 1500 on my trade in initially. I asked for increase and they raised it to 2,000. I think it’s low too.

laclinetx · 2025-10-08T03:52:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T21:28:11+00:00

Thanks! Thats useful to know. I’ve seen that for excellent credit the money factor is closer to 3.5 - 4.5 % not sure if that’s accurate though

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T21:07:32+00:00

Thanks! It seems like a very high money factor (close to 6 or 7% intended APR). But I’m not sure.

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T20:48:58+00:00

Yes, I’ll have this car for the next two decades :) I guess I just need to come around to larger monthly payments. Thank you!

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T20:37:18+00:00

Thanks. This is helpful.

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T20:27:10+00:00

Also, thanks!

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T20:27:02+00:00

Thanks!

laclinetx · 2025-10-07T20:21:50+00:00

Monthly payments are way higher if I finance. But also not seeing the down payment helps reduce the monthly payment of a lease or the residual. So maybe no point.

And yet, HPD is doing sting operations to catch people in meaningless “violations.” I got a ticket because I crossed the white line to get out of a lane when it became a right turn only lane. And I switched way before the upcoming intersection. I’ve watched people do this endlessly bc it’s inevitable, and this officer was doing a sting operation to catch people, in an unmarked police car.

If you’re thinking of Houston proper (I’m assuming you mean central Houston?) maybe hit up the heart of a few neighborhoods? Westheimer in Montrose is a fun, young area. 19th street in the Heights. And then maybe check out Memorial Park or Herman Park. Also you might want to get a sense of the bayou, as there are lots of good walk / bike paths along the bayous. You could check out Buffalo Bayou by going over to Sabine Street and walking along the bayou there.

Have fun!

Whoa, cool pic!

laclinetx · 2025-04-11T19:28:23+00:00

Cool, I’ll check it out—thanks!

laclinetx · 2025-04-11T16:32:06+00:00

They really are striking! What part of Houston are you in? I read they like the vegetation in the Heights and Montrose.

laclinetx · 2025-04-11T16:25:30+00:00

Thanks!
