I’m trying Eco Cleaners on Shepherd on a friend’s suggestion. We’ll see how it turns out

It’s now been 8 days since I’ve had a soft drink. I’ve lost 6 pounds. I haven’t changed any other eating or exercise habits at all. It’s amazing how crappy these things are. But damn, I love a good Coke. Wish I could learn to have them in moderation…

Finally finished touching this up as much as I can. If you’d like to hear a song I wrote when I was 15, please click here:

You guys are a bunch of assholes for not allowing Adobe Flash on the iPhone. It’s almost enough to get me to switch to an Android phone.

Dry cleaning is a pretty simple service. Houston is a big city. There are lots of choices, and all of the ones I have tried so far seem to fail at this very simple task.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois. I had lots of dry cleaning done there, and never had any problems, incidents, or damage with the local cleaners. Since I have been in Houston, I have used 6 different dry cleaners. Every one of them has failed in some way. To date, I have had 2 expensive shirts lost, french cuff shirts with creases improperly pressed into the cuffs (also expensive shirts), a baseball jersey improperly pressed even after asking for it not to be pressed, and a button broken on a brand new shirt.

So, my question to Houstonians is, what dry cleaner do you use? Why should I go there? Have they ever lost anything of yours?

Watch this now! Also, Digg it:

13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

Many of us have opinions for or against government-subsidized health care. My questions are, do you agree that there is a problem currently? If you do, then what do you propose we do about it? I hear a lot of arguments on both sides of “that won’t work”. Well, what will work? Why will it work?

19: And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20: And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21: And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22: And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23: And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24: And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
25: And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26: Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
27: And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
28: But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29: And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
30: And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
31: Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
32: This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33: And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

10: When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11: And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12: Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13: And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14: And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
