I keep saying I don't need anything else ordered 2 Picos, 5 boxes of Nauti heads, 2 Kabuki's, 5 driptips Still thinking about those Therions just because I would like to have a DNA and those are the nicest DNA75's there are. IDK tho could get 2 SMY SDNA75's for the price of 1 of the therions only in black but heard that it is like a Vapor Shark finish only better. 50 bucks each. Single 18650 and won't hit 75w but like I say I don't need anything else. Haven't really seen a decent review on either no one that does decent reviews has done one. I might just wait and see how this whole thing shakes out.I thought I was done with FT orders. My Geek vape Tab was faulty so hubby said he would get me a Coil Master. (Yay!) THEN, he went and said "Do you need anything else before the deeming regulations hit? (since the shipping was $6 for one thing) I told him that I didn't need anything. So he asks if I want something. AHHHHH! I wanted to try a couple of tanks, so I picked one and he bought itBut NOW, I need extra glass and stuff. Hello again, fasttech. Please ship quickly and stealthily.

What an amazing night!I hung out with three of my grandkids last night, tho they're really not kids, they're in their early twenties. Pigged out on pizza, played euchre on the deck till it got too dark, then went to the basement "game room" and they played pool while i sat on the sidelines and harrassed them, and they continually played MY era of music! I did a lot of chair-dancin!
And, my goodness, how they hovered and waited on me! Going down and up the basement steps, there was one in front and one in back, both with their arms out ready to catch me if I stumbled....I kinda faked a little one close to the bottom...it was hilarious...to me... they were a little p.o'd...but they got over it....
all of you, please have a good weekend!
Oh, nevermind. I was going to ask you what a face collection was.

My daughter went to the er today with an anxiety attack, too much stuff goin on, bad breakup with boyfriend, and reaction to some meds, she is ok but requested to recover at my madhouse.
Step daughter (who is currently living with us) is planning to move out at the end of September, but is refusing to take the dog she has had for 8 years with her because she is tired of dealing with her. No problem, she will stay with us, she is as much our dog as anything, but it is upsetting the wife. Thinks it's cruel.
Wife is stressing because she wants to go back to school to be a pharmacy tech, but is afraid she can't do it. Has such a low opinion of her scholastic ability despite my assurances and promises to help her.
Too dann much estrogen around here.

I feel for my Son-in-law. Married to my daughter, of course. They have 4 children...all GIRLS! One has hit her teens, 2 are just a couple years away and one toddler. 5 against 1. Poor thing.
OK, as a nerd I shouldn't have to ask questions like this but...you can take pictures in google hangouts? How does one do this?
If you don't have a little camera ICON at the middle bottom of google hangouts, you can hit your PrtSc button and put it into windows paint - crop and done.
Yes, but I am over in one part of the room and the computer is in another area. Maybe if I move what I want a picture of closer to the computer?Your web cam software probably has a feature to let you take stills of what it's pointed at.
The order I made last Thursday is probably somewhere in the Pacific. I think it will make it before the deadline.
She should do it if that's what she wants to do! It would not enter into her mind as a serious 'want to' thought if she wasn't capable of doing it.
Yes, but I am over in one part of the room and the computer is in another area. Maybe if I move what I want a picture of closer to the computer?
Yep, that could work. Anyone trying to take a pic of the lace from their screen, well, it would be just as far away, so not better.
No, my webcam is attached to my computer with two extensions. I can move it all around my livingroom.
But your arms aren't long enough to then click the button for a still...
Yeah, moving the objects closer seems in order

There is a software company in Spain that offers a freeware called MyCam .. it provides webcams with various tools that you would normally find in a real camera .. still photos, zoom, effects, live video recording, etc .. from what I know, most all webcams top out at 1080 HD resolution, so I really can't say how good a still photo a cam may provide, nor how good a photo you need .. nor what the resolution of your webcam is .. many, if not most all, modern smart phones will take a better photo than a webcam .. these devices are designed to use the least amount of Bandwidth possible ..
at any rate, here's the link in case you decide to give MyCam a try ..
MyCam
EDIT :: as with many freeware download pages, make sure you click on the right download link since you'll likely be presented with some other random choices ..
I gave a little thought to your scenario .. if it were me and I was using the MyCam software .. to get maximum clean resolution from your webcam, I would attempt to use something to attach the cam to, since getting it as steady as possible is key .. the first thing that came to mind was placing the webcam on the top of a chair back and the laptop on the chair seat .. point webcam toward wall and on the non-seat side of chair with the laptop on the chair seat .. use a wall or table to place lace vertically, and pick the best lit spot in the room, ideally with sunlight as a source, since light is the second most important thing .. get as close to lace as possible with it still being in focus ..
Anything the cam could be clipped to would work, and since you have a long tether, the laptop could be anywhere the tether would allow .. I just figured a chair of some sort would be an easy solution, readily available ..
Now that I'm ruminating, did I not come up with a Solo Cup cell phone speaker system a few years ago .. ??

I'm obstinate enough, but: "this will hurt me more than it hurts you" was definitely applicable and I'm not that much into pain. I will admit I did enjoy getting away for awhile, even though I didn't go anywhere except the grocery.
I got an Autel Robotics X-Star Premium. The cameras have the same specs, and the difference is only incremental, but the X-Star camera seems to have a better sensor and seems to deal better with changes in light, and seems to deal better with reflective surfaces and with the sun. One of these days I'll get both quads up in the air at the same time so that an exact video comparison can be made.
The other significant difference is very much to my liking: the X-Star software enables "point and click" waypoint flights. Except for the landing, the entire video below was shot by selecting 3 points on a Google map and hitting "go" in the app.
Welcome home, Dave! Anxiously awaiting the new improved aerial vids!
I thought the old unimproved ones were pretty good.Can't wait for the new and improved quad copter videos either!
After hearing Kinga Glyk's bass guitar version, Eric Clapton's original of "Tears In Heaven" leaves me feeling like it's missing something. But the story behind the song is powerful. Clapton wrote it while still in deep despair after his 4-year-old son fell from a 53rd-story window and died in NYC in 1991.
This morning's flight with my new X-Star drone. No filter on the camera lens... I always use one with the Phantom drone. For the first time, I know for sure that the farmer across the creek actually grows something. I can't tell what it is. Could be collards, could be corn, could be tobacco.
