We are about 100 miles from Chico. I am actually going to Yuba City on Friday to pick up a Chihuahua puppy we bought. Yuba City is about half way to Chico from here!

Graybar is a pretty interesting company. National made Western Electric machines from 1917 to 1918, only two years, then Graybar took over. They started making machines from about 1926 to 1934 when they succumbed to the Depression. There is still a Graybar company today, but they are only a distributor of products, they no longer make their own consumer products. I almost bought a Graybar a couple times so I did some research. I think Monica has a Graybar machine.

I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.

I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

Geeze Billy and none of this happened before that snake bite????? It has to be related. Were you healthy before the bite? Oh man, we are all going to pray for you. Please keep up posted. I am really worried as I bet most everyone else is too. What about all the flooding in your daughter's house? Maybe, a combination of snake bite and mold poisoning?

Is this a good find?

Sorry you are not doing well Billy:(
I see many times people will put "Singer" Sewing machine on their ads. Sort of like using the coined brand names like coke or kleenex... Doesn't look like any Singer I've ever seen. It looks like one of the other manufacturers I've seen out there New Home etc. If it's in good condition, $20 is a good buy.
