  15. Hey Lou Meredyth and everybody else that go to Starbucks. Talk about your great service. I have been going to the the starbucks on south Main and 610. I love that place. All of the workers are terrific! We got an espresso machine. I’m not good with it. They have been just great with helping me to make the perfect espresso. I was told if I need help they will
    show me how to use the machine. Now you tell me if that is a great deal. I will still go by there to get espresso even though I have a espresso maker. Just because it’s a place that makes me feel good.

  17. Hey, Dementia, what a great surprise!!!! Welcome to the blog!

    To all of you on the blog who aren’t plugged into Houston Roller Derby, Dementia (Dana) is one of the premiere players in the league. She’s a jammer and captain for the Psych Ward Sirens and she is as pretty as she is dangerous on skates!!!!

    Here’s her profile at houstonrollerderby.com.

    http://houstonrollerderby.com/public/pag70.aspx

    Dementia and Mistilla the Killa will always be our two favorite Derby people for being so nice to us when we first started going to the matches. It was because of their kindness that we kept going back!

    To all of you who have never experienced Houston Roller Derby, the next match is April 13 at Verizon Wireless downtown! Game time: 5pm!

  21. Oops I made a typo again. I had 3 orders when I went to MD Anderson. I actually sold a lot more then I expected. It’s a good thing I as many AS I DID. Wish I could set up shop there. It’s a good feeling that someone would wear one of my shirts.

  46. If a place do not give free refills, I will not go there. At one time Chilis was like that. I could get free refills on ice tea, but on cokes was another issue. My sunday school class would go out to a place to eat after evening services (this was 29-30 years ago), the waitress come around and ask refill on drinks, sure, but did not say about a charge on cokes. When the bill came, we argue, and had the charges taken off. Do not kow if this was global (everywhere) or just at this location or just a one time incident.

  47. there is a place in Pearland that is a hamburger joint they are real good well I was eating my hamburger and our ticket was on the table the waitress asked me if I wanted more coke I said yes and she took my glass and the ticket and charged me for a refill I think that is rediculous to charge for refills

  135. Hello! Great job, keep it up! I have a step-daughter with NF type 1. She also seems to have a few risk factors for Celiac disease (I’m also a nurse). I wanted her tested, but the doctors didn’t order it. Does anyone know if there is an affiliation with NF Type 1 and Celiac? Celiac often goes in conjunction with other inherited disorders such as Diabetes Type 1, autoimmune disorders, autism, seizures in certain parts of the brain, dyslexia, and a few others… I’m trying to raise awareness with doctors and the public. Newer statistics say it may be as high as every one in 80 people. If it is a secondary diagnosis, a gluten free diet often helps control their primary illness. Reggie is an inspiration!
