have been fighting at our feeders the last several years.

I think AirborneHokie is the other.

spent the money elsewhere.

verify the setup. Thanks again for everything you and everyone else has done!!!!

From my understanding, they think it started at the back of the house either on the deck or possibly in the kitchen. Phil was sleeping and the two ladies were at work when it happened.

the link to Phil and Stacy tomorrow morning.

started barking and woke him up. Phil was able to get the dog out of his cage and leave the house safely with not much time to spare. The fire fighters think the fire came from the back deck, or possibly the kitchen on the back side of the house. Although they are not sure what started the fire. On the back deck they had a grill, a hot tub and a fire pit. Stacy has a daughter that lives close by with two very young grand daughters. Stacy, Phil and Susan spend time assisting Stacy's daughter (Sydney) with the two girls. One of which has a severe form of autism. Sydney is divorced from the girl's father and he lives out of state. Stacy and Phil are staying with friends. Stacy's mother, Susan, is staying with her sister (my mother) less than a mile away from the Grove. Insurance has been contacted. I'm not sure if it was the insurance provider or the Red Cross that gave them about five hundred dollars to help. Stacy and Phil used it to get a little clothing, food and personal stuff this afternoon. I think everything will be fine in the end. Susan is a very emotional person and holds onto things. Much like a hoarder mentality. So she is very much in the dumps thinking about old sentimental things she lost, etc. She has always been this way. Stacy and Phil are doing better mentally. Although it is a tough situation and will take much to get back up and running. Here is a link to the WRIC new article with some other pictures. The videos the firemen took of the blaze were the best indication of the fire. Unfortunately I can't post them. ** Edited by JM397 at 4/6/2026, 10:36:41 PM ** Edited by JM397 at 4/6/2026, 10:44:09 PM ** Edited by JM397 at 4/6/2026, 10:51:38 PM

street and saying "man, I can feel the fire from here" while filming from the fireengine.

About 5 minutes from me. Thankfully no one was hurt. Here are the pics. Now if I could figure out how to post the videos from the firemen ...

opposing forwards in front of the net. These top D-men are hard to get. And teams that draft them in the top five usually keep them for their career. Even with the greatness of Ovie and the Caps winning the cup, I miss the days of our punishing defenders when we had Al Iafrate, Kevin Hatcher, Scott St (nevermind....), etc.

include other things like student athletic fees, TV revenue, stadium revenue, etc?

It just keeps on saying submitting and never post on the boards. Looks like it could be a timeout error. The pic is pulled from my pc.

terribly abused. Not sexual but more locked in a cage and not given much to eat. She was 7 years old but was 3-4 years old in body development, very malnourished, etc . She sat so long in one position her legs grew into her but. She could not stand up or talk. When they brought her in and put her in the PICU they had to be careful her food, etc. She would watch Spongebob. They gave her toys and she would pull everything very close so afraid to lose them. Very sad situation. They worked with her and she had a number of operations to get her legs fixed. After two months they moved her to a rehab unit. By six months she had gained weight, looked her age, was rolling around the rehab unit on a manual scooter and walking normally. She was very happy and rebounded quite well. At six months she left the Children's Hospital I think to be adopted or put in foster care. It was fantastic to see just how much she had recovered after six months. Makes you smile to see these sick kids recover and move on to normal lives!!!!

I know in other sports, the VT staff will start targeting and talking with players several years out. Does this happen much in basketball? Do other colleges start recruiting players earlier in their development?

the bomb on a highway overpass. It exploded but did no damage. Witnesses got his license plate when he drove away. The next day the FBI came to the house. He just got scared by them, no real trouble. My grandfather just laughed at him getting scared....

which indicated underlying issues. Did we get a new GM in his place? I hope this issue is resolved. So we have a plan in place to address to help target future players, outside the coaching staff. ** Edited by JM397 at 3/11/2026, 7:39:43 AM

there are not even any animals miles within your vicinity? Deathly quiet and foreboding.

she became really famous, she came and visited one of her fans that had cancer. When she came to visit, she used the back service elevators and very few people realized she was there. Just some of the nurses. She didn't want to use it as publicity stunt, etc. You hear about that with many stars but so many post it on social media, etc. Also, few stars ever came to Norfolk to visit fans. Lots of reports of stars doing that in LA, etc.

log into the ESPN app with your YTTV account and the games will show as available for viewing.

some of the players looked to be 25 years or older. It is very possible I am way off and can't judge ages correctly. Although the players to me looked much older than the current Hokies team. Are there many players in the NCAA that are this old? I understand certain programs are known for developing players and keeping them for their junior and senior years. I was just thinking our current team is at a disadvantage with so many underclassmen. ** Edited by JM397 at 11/29/2025, 7:14:31 AM

able to play today.

the 13th minute. One slaps the other. Ref gives a red card to one of the players. The team is now down a player for the rest of the game. They end up beating the other team 1-0. Smh....

out of the water 🤯

and he would never speak about the war, too many bad memories watching them die on the beach. My father's father was in the Pacific and would tell some just brutal stories. I had a female friend who was in school during that time. Very few men came back and many of them had alcohol problems, etc. Tough for the women to find a decent man their age. It greatly distressed her all her life. ** Edited by JM397 at 11/20/2025, 11:10:03 PM

your father! Great stuff!!! People now don't understand the hard times back then.

in the early 50s (possibly late 40s)? He had traveled down by walking from West Virginia to VT and it took a month. With just a few things he took with him and how tough football was back then. If so, do you still have the article or a link to the article? I am not really sure how to search prior football articles to find it.

plenty of bag money was handed out then. ** Edited by JM397 at 11/18/2025, 5:50:24 PM
