    Long form birth certificate

    Need help getting my husbands long form birth certificate,

    We only have the short form BC and it says place of birth “Harris county”, we tried to get a long form years ago and whatever office we went to was unable to do it but I can’t remember where we went. They just printed us a short form.

    I tried calling the phone number for the vital statistics on N stadium drive and they asked what hospital he was born at to find out if they can do the long form and we have no idea. I really think this is where we went last time and they only gave us a short form.

    So should we just skip vital statistics and go to one of the county clerk’s offices and order in person? We’re only going to be in town for 1 or 2 days so can’t really afford to waste time running to different offices

    Evergreen Cemetery on Altic

    Hi All,

    Does anyone have any information about this cemetery? Whom the current owner is and possible contact information? I'd like to inquire about a burial that may be there, but not showing up in the directories that I've searched. Was going to reach out to the City, but figured i'd try my luck here first.

    Thanks!

    When is the best month to visit the Butterlfy Center at the HMNS?

    My mom is visiting and I want to go do something with the kids (6 & 8). We've been to the planeterium before but this time I want to do something more dynamic. Before I buy entries for the museum + butterfly center, I want to know if it will be worth it? Never been in either of them. We're planning to go in two weeks.

    Cake Tasting Box

    I am looking for a bakery that sells cake tasting boxes here in Houston. We are getting married in the hill country (and finding our vendors out there) and our caterer said she can make any type of cake we wanted. We are looking to try some different flavors to have an idea of what we want. Any place I have found only does cake tasting boxes if you are buying the wedding cake from them...

    Any ideas?

    Crawfish recommendations…with a GIANT caveat.

    I am a HUGE wimp when it comes to spice. Stuff that most people find mild is spicy to me. I hate it. It severely limits food I would like to try.

    I’ve had crawfish in other dishes and loved it. Several years ago I went to a crawfish festival with some friends. I can’t eat crawfish at boils because it’s too hot for me but I found a booth that had garlic and butter crawfish! It was great.

    Recently, my family and I went to a restaurant that had crawfish and saw they had a garlic flavor. I was so excited to have it again. Cue the disappointment when I found out after I tried the first one that they boil it all in the traditional spicy (to me) flavor and then add the other flavors. It was still too hot for me.

    Does anyone know a good place that makes it in other flavors that a wimp like me can eat?

    Does anyone know what this is?

    I’ve passed by this…thing…on Durham for years upon years but I don’t really know what it is. Anyone know? Is it just an art piece? The base is just so industrial, it made me wonder if there’s more to it.

    KitchenAid Mixer repair/rewiring?

    I recently won a 6 qt kitchenaid mixer in an auction that is not functioning. I messed around with it for awhile and have determined that it most likely just needs to be rewired. Does anyone know someone who can do this locally? Ive googled and haven't found anything and want to avoiding sending it off if possible.

    Also, I have contacted UT Physicians dentistry school, but they don't have any openings in February. They quoted me around $450 and I'm looking for the next best price to that.
