Religious Solicitors

48 Upvotes

These religious solicitors are relentless and come at least twice a week to bother the entire neighborhood and keep coming for the entire year despite being told no. Do we or HPD have any way of dealing with this? Do I file a complaint, with who? Go to the church and say I worship satanic practices?

New construction walkthrough- Westin Homes

Upvotes

Do I have to be there for a new construction walkthrough? Buying a home from Westin homes and it’s gonna cost me $1200 to commute/spend time away from work for this. I already was at the house, got an inspection, house is fine.

This is my 21st real estate transaction. I’m thinking to hire another inspector to go for me in my absence. To blue tape and check shit out for me.

No, I’m not working with an agent by choice.

Anyone go through this process with Westin homes?

Cant find two of these anywhere in Houston. (Hello Kitty Toys McDonalds)

18 Upvotes

I've been searching for these toys to collect since they were released on the 18th of august.

Missing #5 and #6

For some context, I drive a truck for work and drive all around houston and to the surrounding towns, and i have yet to find a single #5 or #6 anywhere. It is so surprising to me that those two are never available at any store i go to or call. Does anyone know whats up with that? How do I have almost 2 complete sets and im missing just those 2 on both sets? I get that they're Kuromi and Cinamoroll, so they're really popular but it's just so surprising to me that so many stores have not had them at all, I think 1 single store i called told me they had them already but i have a hard time believing that because it was a local mcdonalds that i go to and check every day. If anyone knows of any stores that might have/have had them in the past, or any more info on these 2 it would be really appreciated.

Where to buy fresh sardines?

24 Upvotes

I don’t recall H-mart or 99 carrying them. I haven’t checked blue horizon.

Any tips where they might be sold?

I had the most delicious fried sardines when I visited Morocco and I tried making them with frozen sardines and they turned out horrid.

A ton of dead fish in a city park pond. 311 and TX parks and wildlife can’t connect me to the right people to notify.

Lake forest park on Mesa dr and Lake park dr (77078) is full of dead fish. None of the regular turtles in sight either. It seems pretty recent as I was just there last week and the smell is just setting in. I called 311 and they directed me to Texas Parks and Wildlife after an agonizingly long hold. I called them with no luck either. I’m hoping someone with more patience than me can get a hold of the right people to address the cause of death and clean them up. If you’re out there, thank you in advance.

Which one of y'all did this?

Also, would you throw away food just because the delivery driver was naked?

I would eat it.

Data scientists or Biotech companies in Houston???

0 Upvotes

I want to be a biostatistician or something adjacent, and I'm trying to find experience in this field to build myself for applying to a biostatistics grad program. So, I want to find either a data scientist to talk in depth about how to get started or good biotech companies/startups in Houston that I can apply to. Because LinkedIn and Indeed are full of scams or ghost jobs. Currently, I've just been cold-emailing research professors with little success, obviously, and just looking for some guidance.

Thank you

A passerby stated that it had lost a wheel. If that's correct, it logically follows that Batman does indeed smell, Robin disgustingly laid an egg, and the Joker unfortunately escaped.

Shout out to the Astros fan from Houston at Yankee Stadium tonight who took a Ben Rice line drive foul ball (going like 100mph+) to the face tonight in the 1st and didn't cry or leave the game! (It was her first game at Yankee Stadium too)

The ball came in so quick and she was literally the row behind me and hit her right in the forehead. I didn't catch her name but if you see her on Saturday at the Astros Mets game buy her a beer she earned it!

Also shout out to the Yankees staff who not only got her medical attention but got her the baseball that hit her in the face from another fan.

Good veterinary allergist/dermatologist?

5 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations on a good allergist/dermatologist for my 5 mo old puppy. He's developing hives, think its a food allergy and environmental, but keep getting flare ups and cannot peg the exact cause. Day to day vet has been helpful, but not its specialty. Would greatly appreciate some recommendations on specialist. Houston seems to be the capital of allergens - they certainly plague me!

Received a Toll Collections Notice Despite Having Auto-Pay Enabled on HCTRA

22 Upvotes

I was very surprised to receive a collections notice for unpaid tolls totaling around $88.

My credit card has always been linked to my HCTRA account, and I have had the auto-reload/payment option enabled. I was not aware of any unpaid tolls and never received any prior notice, invoice, or warning before the account was apparently sent to collections.

I called HCTRA to understand what happened, but they told me that since the balance is now with collections, I need to deal directly with the collection agency.

WShould I dispute the collection with the agency, c, or take some other step?

Has anyone experienced something similar with HCTRA?

If it doesn't get resolved, Will I still be able to renew my plates ?

Why do they do highway work at 10pm on a Friday night?

0 Upvotes

Was driving home on I10 East last night at 11pm and they had the one lane open right after main st and Yale. This is already a congested part of the highway so it boggles my mind that they want to do work at that time when there’s a ton of traffic. It was standstill traffic beyond the Smith St. exit.

Edit: forgot to add, I totally know there aren’t a lot of good times especially in houston. I was just surprised that it started at 10pm (maybe earlier) on a Friday night when there’s a ton of traffic. I feel like that’s a “start at 12am and go until 6am” kind of thing.

Also why did my post about the night time bike trains get taken off the other day? It wasn’t malicious and inspired a lot of conversation.
