What are your thoughts on the ' factory refurbished' ones sold by the 'Official DJI store'?

Ebay for $349 free shipping, be here next Wed.

Amazon for $399, longer ship time.

They both look like the same package coming from the same store to me?
I don't think they're coming from the same store... or they may come from the same store but the one on Amazon has a middleman (who may not ever even have possession of the drone) accounting for the higher price. I'd get the less expensive one. DJI refurbs have a good reputation. It's likely that they are tested more thoroughly than the brand new ones are. Looks like an excellent deal to me, Gene, MUCH better than the drone I linked to yesterday.

That doesn't sound right at all. That's way too much pain meds. Waaaay| too much!
That's what we thought and he didn't even explain why he wrote it they just handed it to her on the way out. Even if it was for withdrawal symptoms which is one way some use for the tapering give you more of the pills to make up for the 72hr patch then wean you off those it is still too much. She is going to ask our reg doc she didn't fill it. Changing from a 75mcg patch to a 62.5 is the same as reducing by 30mg of Perc or Hydro. Which will cause syptoms. To stop them they put you on one of the others to make up till you can cut them 1 at a time. Rinse and repeat in a month. You also have to consider we have both been on the same dosage for over 6 years mine since 2010 her since her surgery stopped working in about 2011.

DONE!

THANKS Dave!!!
Good choice at a very favorable price. Disregard the PM I sent you before I saw your post. You have done well to get that P3 Standard.

Also, the range you'll get, even though it's less than the range of the Advanced or Professional, will surprise you I think. Half a mile is well beyond eyeball range.

Her besides the RA she fell down the stairs in around 2000 causing a problem where the nerve to her right legs was pinched and pain all the time. She had surgery and they opened the hole that the nerve runs through in around 2003 finally after about 8 years it was getting worse again she went to see another surgeon the one she had retired and he said he didn't think he could fix it this time and might make it worse so he didn't want to do it. The injections are kind of a scary thing also where they inject a steroid and anasthetic directly to the affected nerve using a fluoroscope to pinpoint where the needle is if it works it will last a couple of months and they do it again if it still works they inject something in on the 3rd time to kill the nerve. There can also be some pretty bad side effects with that including paralyzation which is rare but so is what happened to me.

@2legsshrt

Pat, read just only a bit of what's happening because I am having a difficult time reading. Had cataract surgery yesterday.

But, please know whatever is happening, I'm thinking good thoughts for you and pray all will be well.
Thank you all I'm hoping it goes easier then it sounds for both of us. At least we arent among the ones that just get cutoff which would be insane. Wow I hope the cataract surgery helps you see better

Dang she went to get our snow tires off and the place we go is a 3 hour wait so she is waiting they are hoping to slip her in early. Today is the last day. Usually we go in about 2 weeks before but this winter has been so weird we waited. Not a good choice. Idaho they have another month but they can't come into WA with them $156 Fine. They all come over here to buy groceries cause there is no sales tax on them here but they make up for it with a 10% on everything else.

I am also putting off doing income tax. Might even file for an extension. Our med deductions are at around 20K cause of the insurance for her which will finally be over in Oct. But then we will have to start paying income tax. They get you one way or another.

Tryin' to figger out why u have to take em off unless yer talkin about studded tires. They're kinda quaint today.
Yep we are quaint but they sure work good on ice. We might have one more season then we'll get siped but want to wait cause also might get a new car and the wheels will probably be more than 16" they seem to be going to 17+.
