Where is the quadcopter you all were talking about? I didn't see it on our board or on the Maksylmylovetumblr.

Annie,
Go to jmeredith.tumblr.com. Scroll down past the first tweets and there are 2 pics of Maks at nite. Obviously in LA as they are outside after dark wearing t-shirts!!
If you scroll further down to 2/12/15 you'll get to the snapchat before you have to go to the next page. It is pretty much a nothing other than a Maks sighting-----pretty much first one in a week (except for the "dressed for success--NOT" pic maybe Monday). You can only see the quadcopter as a little light in the dark sky. I really don't get why those things are all the rage!! In the hands of people who know nothing about how to fly radio control, they can be a problem. (My hubby and son have flown R/C airplanes forever so I have some knowledge of what they are and how they work.) Most people view them as toys, and they really aren't!

There was something on the national news about them last night; instances of people flying them too high and coming too close to airplanes -- especially private ones.

Yeah, that's one of the (BIG) problems. Another is that they are "flown" using GPS and many people who buy them don't know how to override the GPS---nor do they have the skills to land the stupid thing so there is potential for property damage or personal injury, etc. At this point there are no regulations on where they can be used so SOME (not all) people are using onboard cameras to look into people's houses, property, etc. With conventional model airplanes there are designated flying sites because they require a runway for takeoff and landing as well as space to fly since they cover a lot of ground; there is no GPS on them so the flier has to keep the airplane within visual range. The quadcopter is basically an R/C helicopter, which is a whole other animal to fly. Seven corrections a second required to maintain a hover--so it takes a lot of practice to actually know what to do with it!!
So we'll see where it goes and hope that the majority of quadcopter owners use common sense or blow through that fad and on to something else

Evening everyone...just stopping in to say "hey" ....
I went and got my X-rays and blood work at the hospital today...I felt like I was on the table forever...they did about 12 pictures and hopefully I will get the results on those the first of the week!!!
Have been napping since i came home cause I took one of my Motrin this afternoon because of all the twisting I had to do to get the X-rays...I called it my yoga for the day...LOL. And I have not been sleeping good lately (Eastcoast I feel your pain) that I had a headache so I figured it would take care of both...
I am gonna pop in and out for a bit...
Hope everyone is having a good night....

I see not much has gone on this evening here. We were at the VFW down the street for pizza and drinks.
Someone asked about KOS. Just to let everyone know, I had an email from her tonite and she is having problems getting on the board even though she has had her computer updated and the hard drive cleared. She is working hard on her next Beloved Community Potluck Dinner which is on the 22nd, so may have little time to chat until that is over but she will try to post if she can get on quickly.
KOS has my kudos for her computer tenacity. I would have thrown the thing through the window by now--and I am pretty patient...but not as patient as she is!!!
Sweet dreams everyone--and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
