  1. Hey @immamac. Just got an email saying my account has been locked due to 5 failed sign ins. I was on tapa at the time and wasn't trying to sign in - was already signed in. Went back to my laptop and was still logged in there too. I didn't click the password reset link in the email for fear it would give my computer the AIDS. Seems everything is fine with my account even though the email says I can't log back in until this afternoon.
  2. I see that Chumley has found employment after his run on Pawn Stars.
  3. Bottom line is they would still aggy it up.
  4. Les is the best. You missed your chance though - he's done a fan challenge in the past (can't post the link but it's Season 7 - ep 1). Would love for him to start making episodes again.
  5. That said, what items would you choose to bring with you? Seems they give every team a machete and usually a fire starter these days, so I would go with bug netting if anywhere in the tropics/jungle. Seeing those people getting eaten alive by the bugs makes me want to stay inside. I know lots of people go with a pot but I figure I could find something to use in its place (coconut shell, bamboo, etc...). Fishing line rarely seems to work. (Although the duct tape one seemed to be pretty useful too.)
  6. Don't get me wrong as I actually like the show, but there are lots of stories out there from past contestants showing how the show is not exactly "hands off". https://www.nickiswift.com/19882/reasons-naked-afraid-totally-fake/
  7. I believe his dad played basketball for aggy. That being said, he's been to our campus multiple times. Also - he's only going to be a junior - so class of 2021.
  8. You can't use an SAT test result to qualify for MENSA unless it was taken before 1994. SAT is an aptitude test - not an IQ test.
  9. I would assume it would be similar to senor Lampkin when he couldn't get into UT and was therefore released once school started to sign with OU.
  10. Apparently Tate Martell is on an official visit to West VA. https://247sports.com/Article/Tate-Martell-Transfer-West-Virginia-Ohio-State-visit-127772341/
  11. Got my 5 in today just before the snow hit. Looking at 5-10 inches so my neighborhood trails will be off limits for the next week or so. Have a treadmill but hate running more than 3 miles on it. Going to be a long next few days of running inside.
  12. Never done a marathon. For that matter I've never really had the desire to do one (assuming I could even get in shape to run one!). Could probably do a half marathon if I set my mind to it. I think the Paris half marathon would be pretty cool. The 10 miler I am training for goes from Mt Vernon (George Washington's house - not small East Texas town) up to Old Town Alexandria along the Potomac. It slightly downhill for the first two miles then relatively flat for the rest of the race. One hill with about a mile to go. Of course I'm not setting any speed records on any of my runs.
  13. So I have been lurking on this thread for quite some time and want to thank everyone for the motivation it has given me over the last few months. Was living a really unhealthy lifestyle - no exercise, eating and drinking way too much. Back in the fall I got motivated and started running again. Over the last 10 years, I would try to exercise, but it never really lasted for one reason or another (mostly just due to laziness). So far it has stuck (4 months now). At the same time, I pretty much cut out out the booze (was drinking about a bottle of wine every night) and started watching what I eat (I work at home so just cutting out the snacking during the day has helped tremendously). So fast forward 4 months, I'm down 35 pounds to 200 and would like to lose another 15-20 pounds. Went to the doctor for standard lab tests and the results were already a ton better than the last time I went in. Anyways, running has always been my preferred choice of exercise. I've started a runners thread on the Hobbies board. Anyone else out there running to lose weight or get/stay in shape I'd love to hear from you over there.
  14. So after following the Body transformation thread for quite some time, I decided it was time to get off my ass last fall and start running again. For the last 10 years or so, I would take it up again, drop it for various reasons (laziness being the main one). My weight ballooned up due to my affinity for alcohol and food with no significant exercise. So anyways, been running for about 4 months now. My goal for the new year is to log 1000 miles. I'm currently averaging between 20-25 miles a week going 5 days a week. Would like to get into shape to run a 10 mile race in April. Figured I would start a thread to provide encouragement and motivation for any runners out there and to discuss any topics related to running. Anyone else have any goals for the year?
  15. I'm sure IF you can get through they'll gladly change things for you. Couple of options you might try - send a DM through twitter. They're usually very responsive and can take care of stuff like this. Also try 800-446-7834. Its a number they sometimes put into service during overloaded call center volume. Lastly, if that doesn't wok, try SKYPE and call one of their international reservation centers (e.g. Australia, NZ, Hong Kong etc...) I've done this to book award travel that US call centers couldn't see so they might be able to cancel out the first flight for you. Good luck. Here is a link to overseas call centers: https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-service/contact-american/reservations-and-ticket-changes.jsp
  16. Just a quick endorsement here. I had Irwin design me a WVU one for my son when he started school there last year. It turned out awesome - my son gets tons of compliments on it. Highly recommend!
  17. You never know - They have some pretty good wins this year and a 7 point loss to Carthage (in a game they could have easily won) tells me they can hold their own against anyone. Would love to see Texas sign that Landon Jackson kid.
  18. Thanks - will check it out. I've seen the name but had no idea what it was. Soccer and football. Was looking at FIFA - do you think the 4 year old would get anything out of it? I think the older one would like it. hmmm - probably not.
  19. Getting a PS4 for the kids for Christmas. Have 4 and 8 year old boys. Both like lego star wars; older one likes minecraft. Trying to come up with games for each of them - any recommendations appreciated.
  20. UPI poll is the coaches poll. Name changed in 1990. Back then, the final coaches poll was released before the bowl game hence the split national championship that year.
  21. Actually, they would still have to go through immigration if landing in the States. Unlike many other countries, all passengers landing in the US have to clear immigration, even those who are only connecting en route to another country.
