Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards Why RCC always gotta be a soap box? I am hardly ignorant in any way but thanks for the tips. I realize the guy is thankfull, GREAT as am I but I suppose it just erks me when someone always has to bring in God or some religion stuff or other buisness into a hobby forum, that's all don't read to much into it for pete sakes! I have several friends and family who are religous they can celbrate their faith and beliefs at church! The post said "SMALL GRIPE" did it somehow translate to "HUGE BITCH" fest? NO it did not, I suppose I am alone and everyone just accepts anything these days that's great, no wonder the rest of the world can look at us as pushovers and sheep, seems to be a fakin reality. Rant over close this thread someone so a small gripe doesen't need to go past the huge pick on a small gripe, complaint if you will crap, bajebuz!  Thanks to those that gave an answer on options instead of complaining about my complaint lol, the dollar store one I liked and will source that out. |

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards One option would be for MAAC to give out ONE plastic, permanent card to each member when they first register. It's just identification anyway...if you don't renew, you don't carry the insurance or get the magazine etc. If a person decides to "cheat" and carry the card to the field without renewing, they do so at their own explicit risk - i.e. if anything goes wrong, they not only do not have insurance but would be subject to a fine from MAAC and possible legal action if necessary...and even if nothing goes wrong, would be subject to fines if proven to not have an active membership. IMO this would probably save money in the long run. |

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards Gentlemen, As I stated, there was no disrespect to the author, I was just stating a view that I see a lot, and that is as AJ and LGM said, that we have it pretty good relative to all considered, when we can and have the ability to grip, no matter big or small, about something like this. Hey I do that too, more than I would like to admit, and I have to bring myself back around a lot. As for the God thing, I do belive in God and I am not ashamed to say that do thank Him for everything that I have. But that is my choice and I do not judge or condem any one else for their choice to belive or not. So lets all get back to the buisiness of flying the pants (wheel pants?) off of our planes! Dan |

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards Quote:
I'm not religious, I don't believe in God, but I totally understand the gentleman's comment. I'm thankful for where I live and the fact that I can enjoy the hobby of RC as well. My life is not without problems, but everyday there is something that could be worse. Even though I'm not religious, I think that scale freak's comments were dead on the money. If life is moving along so well that you can complain about your MAAC card not being laminated then things are pretty damn good. I could go on and on about things to complain about, but my MAAC card would be so far down on the list it wouldn't even rate. Just my opinion. |

That would work great also. I use stone protection film that is used on autos. Super tough and still remains flexible!

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards I laminate my card with self-laminating sheets from the Dollar Store. You get a 10 year supply for a dollar. Or, send me $5.00 and a SASE and I'll laminate it for you.

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards Ok the god thing was strange and almost overboard there and all... but anyhow it was not a BIG BITCH, as title says "small gripe" but heh it's winter and all. Now you buggers with your "FAT" wallets you talk about, if you feel like donating some hobby money I can put some to use over the winter

But, we tend to complain about the small issues when there isnt anything else to complain about. Its human nature I guess... AJC |

Re: Small gripe about MAAC cards No disrespect intended here, but you know that you are blessed when the focus of frustration is the lamination or lack therof of a club membership card. I give thanks to God every day that I am privaledged to live in a place like Canada and to have a job that allows me to afford a hobby like this. Honestly, that is to be cherished. So, wether my card is laminated or not really is of no consequence. I do as someone above mentioned, just use clear packing tape to make it a little more damage resistant. Dan |
