keep in mind though that there's a thing going around where illegal aliens are now stealing people's identities to take money, etc.
it's in her best interest to cancel/freeze anything and watch her credit report like a hawk for a while and houston is a hellhole -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

I'll reply to the entire thread later but the mercury comment was not just state, it was for the entire country and Europe. I'll find the link.
Also, testmonkey, during rush hour traffic, it is impossible to make it from Sugar Land to the loop in less than half an hour. Maybe the story is different on the northwest side, but I doubt it, so I have no idea how your dad drives that route that fast. As a test, I am going to leave my house tomorrow at 7:45am and drive to work the fastest route (59 north to the south belt westbound) and see how long it takes me. It's approximately 13 miles. Oh, and for the record, I've made my way around this city (a lot). I go out of my way to find cool places to eat (Montrose has a lot) and on that end, Houston has some great food if you are willing to trek the traffic and try and find a parking spot. Boston is one of my favorite cities, next is Chicago (minus winter), Philadelphia (those who think it's just crime have never been), and San Francisco (the hills kill me). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Anything N/NE/E/SE is 10x better traffic wise than the NW/W/SW areas. I-10 from the west loop all the way to the east side is wonderful. 290 is horrendous, as is 59 SW. I think you just got the short end of the stick by living over there |
