I have lived in Texas most of my 41 years on the planet and been in a goodly number of hospitals, none of them have been Catholic. Of the numerous hospitals in the Texas Medical center (I think there are 20 or 21, the largest medical center in the world) there are 2 maybe 3 catholic hospitals. Nowhere near “almost…

From the reading I have done (not a doctor, not a midwife, hell not even a mother) many of the deaths in this country from childbirth are DUE TOO medical intervention rather than lack of medical intervention. Ever increasing use of induction leads to increasing risk of c-section and that alone increased mortality…

I just finished sewing this for myself recently. Hopefully Retayne will prevent the black from creeping to the red and the stripes.

That’s nice but how does he feel about quiche? Or Spanish tortillas? Or, frankly, omelettes? There is a entire world of eggy custard type foods that need to be explored by Mr. Solo.

I see (I *might* be a little ramped up down here.)

You realize that a lot of us in Texas are still filling up tanks to put in boats to rescue people that are still trapped in flood water. Or to put in tanks that power chainsaws to cut trees that are over roadways and on power lines and across homes. Or to fill trucks that are hauling debris from home where flood…

They made it!

It is almost like these guys weren’t adolescent junior high school girls (aka the most vicious creatures to roam the planet.)

Literally starred and unstarred several times just for the satisfaction of starring again.

Mattress Mack always steps up. He is a living legend.

Mattress Mack is the real deal.

Their “faith” is aspirational. They want to be like Joel Osteen (rich) not like Jesus. This is the same fucked up thinking that gets Donald Trump as president.

There is almost certainly at least a catering kitchen. I would also bet good money that Osteen himself requires some sort of craft services smorgasbord replete with ridiculous Mariah Carey level demands on the days he does his money grab song and dance. 

Mattress Mack is the best.

Mattress Mack should be canonized as far as I am concerned.

Mine had around 100 members and had a kitchen. As my departed grandmother would say, he is as full of shit as a christmas turkey.

And this building was converted from what used to be a major concert/sports venue. There is zero chance that there is not a commercial kitchen in this facility. And showers. ZERO. Hell the baptist church in my little town that serves as our emergency shelter has multiple showers and a kitchen. My town is one that…

That was my first recommendation (I am former Army, former army wife, two Naval brothers) unfortunately our little town North of Houston has been unable to get Red Cross assistance, they are stretched understandably thin. Most of the rescue and shelter efforts going on here are from private citizens banding…

Thankfully they were able to get out this evening and are en route to San Antonio to catch their flight to Delaware.

Sort of relieved it wasn’t just me.
