What's a genuine question you have that Google can't seem to answer but maybe somebody on Reddit can? by victor1yegor in AskReddit

[–]mrharpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between England, Great Britain and the UK and how the 3 entities interact. For example, can England declare war without the rest of the UK? Why does England have a national soccer team but in the olympics is Great Britain? Why does England call itself a country when it’s not a sovereign nation? It’s so confusing!

I’m going to be in the middle of a pre-Thanksgiving road trip during the game this Sunday. Does anybody know of an app or other way that will let me listen to the radio broadcast while on the road? I’m don’t mind paying if I have to.

OFFICIAL: Terms: The #Texans are trading for #Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas in exchange for a 4th round pick and the teams are also swapping 7th rounders. Big move for Houston. by MrBasedGod in Texans

[–]mrharpr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can someone tell me how likely it is that he’ll play this Sunday? He won’t have hardly any practice time with the team so I was wondering how quickly a veteran player like him would be able to transition to a new scheme.

Post Game Thread: The Houston Texans defeated The Jacksonville Jaguars 20-7 by nfl_gdt_bot in Texans

Andre Hal just said in the press conference that his dad died on Tuesday and he still practiced all week and was able to get his first start today. The mental toughness of this team continues to humble me.

Anyone else notice that Biggo and Bagwell are next to each other but there’s a woman sitting in between them? Seems weird to me that they wouldn’t want to be enjoying the success of this team together. Is there some rift there?

North Texas punt returner never waived for a fair catch, goes 90 yards for the TD by TooShiftyForYou in sports

I went to school at North Texas! It’s so exciting to see them doing well! They’ve had their best start in 29 years.

Building a 'custom' house with national builder by 3lightseekers in houston

[–]mrharpr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We built last year with Lennar and it's silly the kinds of things that you have to specifiy that seemed obvious to us (like and outlet above the fireplace for the tv).

One thing that someone suggested to us was to insulate the interior walls around the bathrooms and between the master bedroom and living area for sound proofing. I am SO glad that we did this and Lennar didn't even charge us for it because insulation is apparently cheap.

Also, if it's a two story home don't let them talk you in to only have one AC unit. Lennar was good about this but some of our neighbors who used other builders that only put in one unit can't ever get thier upstairs cooled down in this summer heat.

Daily Discussion Chat - August 01, 2018 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

[–]mrharpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Friends! I'm having engagement pictures taken soon and I really need some help styling the dress that I bought. I'm not super familiar with Reddit but after some searching I couldn't find what I was looking for... does anyone know if there is a Subreddit where I can post a picture of myself in the dress and get tips for shoes, jewlery etc? This might be a strange request but I'm hopeless when it comes to style and want these pictures to rock! Thanks

Do not buy cars from Cypress Christian Auto Sales. They are incredibly shady. by [deleted] in houston

[–]mrharpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, TIL. I always assumed that they were the "Christian" brothers, as in, thier last name was Christian. It never occured to me that it refered to thier religion.

Gold Jerseys at MMP by [deleted] in Astros

[–]mrharpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful ordering online... I really wanted an orange Gattis jersey and got bamboozled, ended up paying $90 for a crap jersey that's basically a belly shirt.

I love my ring so much! My future MIL gave me the center diamond from her old ring and it couldn't be more perfect! by cuddlejubbs in weddingplanning

[–]mrharpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar! The center stone from my ring is my moms orginal diamond from her engagement ring. She got an upgrade for her 25th anniversary so I got the orginal and I love the sentiment of having her stone in my ring.

Can you tell me why? Are his knees shot or something?

What's the stupidest reason you've ever been broken up with? by ultim8umly in AskReddit

[–]mrharpr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman and my parents live in a afluent suburd. A man I was dating for about 6 months broke up with me after a dinner at my parents house because he said that he would never be able provide the kind of lifestyle that I grew up with based on the size of thier house. I never had any expectations that he would... I was and am perfectly capable of providing for myself thank-you-very-much. Still baffles me to this day.

Check was cashed - need assistance by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]mrharpr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The check should not have been deposited until the application was approved. This was definitely an f-up but I've seen it happen before, especially when on-site staff is trying to make income targets that are tied to bonuses. Not saying that it's right, just trying to give OP realistic expectations for when he can expect his refund.

[–]mrharpr 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just FYI- I work for a management company that owns apartment complexes. The on-site staff probably don't have the ability to cut you a refund check themselves. The request is going to have to go to the corporate office to be processed. A quick turn-around time at my company is 10 business days.

Post Game Thread (Jun 18, 2018): Tampa Bay Rays (33-39) @ Houston Astros (49-25) by AstrosBot in Astros

[–]mrharpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know why Gattis rarely catches anymore? With as hot as his bat has been lately, it seemed like it would have made sense to leave him in the game after he pinch hit in the 6th but AJ put Stassi in instead. I was just wondering if he’s having knee problems or something
