Posting History (52)

If VMI was canceled instead of JMU, I think the first game is an ACC team.

The JMU game was set for 9/26, that is now BC. The set dates for the non-conference games would not have moved unless the was no other option as that might cause other teams to have to change dates also. The game was canceled so a 9th ACC game could be added, so that is likely what would have taken the place of VMI. The dates for the ACC games had not been set at that time, so if the was a matchup with another ACC team that was possible, that is likely what would have happened.

Do we get to guess again? If so see inside.

Flipping the last two, I recall something about a club with a # in it in Antarctica for the scientist that stay there a long time, but could not recall the # A4, B6, C3, D2, E1, F5

Could you add a portable AC unit to help out during hotter days?

Roll it out on hotter days and store it when not needed, I think they start around $300 at Lowes and Home Depot.

Over1,000 Marilyn Monroe “lookalikes” gathered

All wearing the dress like her famous subway grate photo. Saw it on the news this morning, lookalike was a stretch, most look-like dudes wearing a blond wig.

Danny Coale, I think it has to be someone around 2007 - 2011-time frame.

VT was in the ACC Championship game 4 of 5 years, so think that has to be the most games possible to have been in so far.

Will likely see more non-conf. games between ACC teams to make the 10th P4

Just because it will be hard for everyone to find a P4 non conf. with a open date that is willing to play, especially a home and home.

Yes, Service van backed into me in parking lot and dash cam caught it

The cam started recording when it hit my car, was a setting to record when it detected sudden movement when car was off. Recorded the driver get out, look at his van, my car, look around quickly, shrug and get back in and drive off. His bumper hit the front right side of my car, did about $1500 in damage. No damage visible on his van. Called the company at the number that was visible on the van and was transferred to a fleet supervisor who told me none of their drivers had reported an accident. Emailed her the video and she called back a few minutes later to apologized and their insurance was sending someone out to look at my car. Their insurance paid for the repair at the shop I selected.

Does wireless charging work?

That would be an option, if you do not have wireless charger one can usual be found for $10 - 15 on Amazon. Wireless charging does not work with all cases, so that could be a issue.

Congratulations, that sounds like a great vacation. A couple of suggestions

Since you are not a frequent flyer, I will mention these. Dress in layers for the flights that are easy to add or shed as needed in a tight space. It will be cold on one flight and hot on the next, just seems to me the cabin temperature is all over the place. Unless you are the type to wear shorts year round, you will likely not be comfortable at some point and need to adjust. Stay hydrated for the long flight. You will want to get up and move, so going to the bathroom is a good excuse to get up and move around. Get your airlines app and check in on the app if possible. This will give you push notifications of any delays and gate changes, and it also helps navigate the connecting airports. If you have a delay an miss a connection, the airline will frequently rebook you on the next available flight and sent it to the app or give you options on the app., you may be able to skip the standing in line to make a change with the app. Based on the connections you listed I assume you are leaving Roanoke on American and returning on Delta. The Delta app will show you an airport map if you tap on the gate in the app., Been a while since I flew American, but I would think they have something similar on their app. The boarding pass will be on the app once you check in, but you can still get it printed if you wish. If using the app, just save the boarding pass to your wallet so you have it as a backup. Checking bags at Roanoke can be a slow process, they always seem to be understaffed, but part of the issue is that being a small airport the staff has duties that would be handled by different people at bigger airports. At Roanoke you have to take your checked luggage yourself from the check in counter to the TSA baggage drop, occasionally the is a line there also. Not a big concern, but just be aware the line may look short, but it can move slow. The tradeoff is, TSA screening moves well at Roanoke. If you are on one of the early flights where the plane was at ROA overnight and the is frost, they will have to de-ice after you push back from the gate. This will almost certainly result in at least a 30 min. delay in takeoff, another area where Roanoke is very slow. Nothing you can do about this, but just expect it on a frosty morning. I would assume you are not parking at the airport for that long, but if you are try to get a parking space in between where the first in gate to the long term parking and and the terminal. I have not heard or seen anything recently, but the was a time when several cars were getting broken into on the far edge of the parking lot. I think the airport and city quietly took some action to discourage this, but I try not to risk it and I have never had or hear of anyone having a issue if the were on the ž of the parking lot close to the terminal. Safe travels and enjoy.

Might be the battery in your remote is weak.

When you drive out has the remote been in a cold car and when you return the remote is in a warm car? Might me the warmer remote is giving the battery just enough more chemical reaction to work but does not when cold. Try replacing the remote battery. ** Edited by Wythe Hokie at 12/3/2024, 4:02:23 PM

Was part of VPI from 1943 to 1964

Prior to 43 Radford was a Teacher College, was made part of VPI in 43 as part of a consolidation of state colleges. At the time Radford was all female and VPI was all male. Then at some point women could start at Radford and then could "transfer" to VPI in their 2nd year.

The Hilton Orlando is likely their timeshare division

I have had the same call, had an upcoming stay at a Hilton and answered think it might be something related to my reservation. They want to give you a "free" vacation to Orlando or Vegas to listen to their sales pitch.
