  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. Selvin Jones too.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. If WVU beats OU, then OU wouldn't have beaten one - they would have lost to both WVU and UT.
  12. Assuming WVU beats OSU.
  13. My six year old also really learned a lot from No Stress chess. He would sit there and play vs. himself with the cards. He's since joined the chess club at his elementary school. I sat down and played with him the other day and was surprised at his skill level.
  14. Ummm...what????
  15. I was there with my son who is a freshman at wvu. No wind but it was still pretty damn cold. I guess some guy jumped over the side of the upper deck during the game. We were on the other side and were wondering why everyone was gathered round looking over. I'll be back in a couple of weeks for TCU. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  16. Actually statistically, it is the correct play to go for two there. https://predictivefootball.com/late-and-trailing-by-14-points-always-go-for-2-after-a-touchdown/
  17. WVU has us for their homecoming game. Both teams will be coming off a bye.
  18. Is it really a "benefit" when it's not worth a steaming pile of shit?
  19. So when are you getting it delivered to you? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  20. And make sure you make the check out for a few thousand over the actual price. The seller can then wire you the difference and take a little out for their trouble at the same time.
  21. So I had to take my kid to the doctor on Monday and this was sitting out in the exam room. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  22. lol - I see Swam got banned over here so he's made his way back over to the old site. Looks like he's trying outpost badmofo over there now in the CR.
  23. Still no luck with Paypal for me.
  24. Paypal crapping out for me too.
  25. Can you set up a customizable monthly subscription? I would go higher than the $7 if available.
