I'm pretty sure RDMs wouldn't count toward MM status - just EQMs . NW does keep track of lifetime EQMs, so it's my understanding those will be added to your DL EQMs to calculate MM status...

That's my understanding as well (and my past trips on NW are far more than 10,000 EQM).

GameStop is a video/pc game store. I would like to remind you that average age for online gamer is 35 years old. With that in mind, if his mother had him at the age of 25, she would be around 60 years old. Are you saying if you flew 100K+ miles every year since his mother was born, therefore you'd accumulated between 3.5M to 4.5 Million Miles?

This week had to be one of the worst weekends of football ever

My UTEP miners lost 64-7 and the Redskins lost the the Lions

Sportsmanship

Two deer hunters were standing on a ridge near a highway in rural Western Maine on the opening day of deer season. They both saw a trophy-class buck meandering towards them. As the one hunter raised his gun to shoot, a funeral procession came slowly by. The hunter lowered his gun, took off his hat, and stood with his head bowed until the procession was past. Of course by then, the deer was long gone.

The other hunter exclaimed "Wow! That was the most sportsmanlike act I've ever seen! You allowed this trophy buck to escape while showing such compassion and kindness toward someone's dearly departed. You are a great humanitarian and a shining example to sportsmen throughout the world!"

The first hunter nodded and said; "Well, we were married for 42 years.

His mother is 43, he has made that clear.

There are PLENTY of posters in this forum who have flown more than 5 million miles in their lifetime.

You're correct.

For example, I've got over 6 million miles on various airlines and that's just since they started counting in the early-mid 1980's.

The heaviest travel of my business career was from 1970-1983 and I have no idea how many gazillion miles I might have racked up then.

Most GRR people I know don't watch football. They are either CHI or IND fans.

I skipped over when he made a public announcement about his mother's age.

Not sure if you've noticed previous post but tj is 15..... So it's very conceivable that he's flown 1.5-2MM...

Every woman I've seen him with are all over him.

What are you doing at Macy's cosmetic counters?
I have to walk by them in order to access the general mall. I do not care to stop at them.

Thanks for the advice. Quoting Cholula does not help as you were obviously refrencing me.

I am 15.
My mom is 43.
I have not had a SM account since the day I was born.

I'd thought of just asking on here. Just a thought. I know now not to ask for video game advice in here.

I sort of agree. Pats won, Cardinals lost, Lions got out of the loosing streak, and the jets won (bad thing).

True.

Tjisnumbaone,

As you can see, there are numerous semi-retired, grumpy old men in this place. Although they might be grumpy, they are full of useless wisdom and knowledge which can help you to pass your time. So, come back often to be rediculed and battered.

But I've been giving the team that I am going to meet this week grief over the past year about the stinky lions

And they now beat my redskins, which can now be called the worst team in the universe

OMNI would probably be a better place for video game advice.

That's why I hang out here.

Well, for the wisdom & knowledge, not the rediculed & battered.

I hope you aren't here to get battered... I'm not so sure that "Fried Scoow" would be so great...
