I agree with what totomoms said...I will buy small things that don't cost too much at the bay as I have heard all the stories. I think that is good advice to go to the sm shops. And maybe hearing your story they may reduce the price some.
I would like to know who started naming storms after people. My name is Sandy. I used to like my name. Now not so much. It hurts so much to hear like ..Sandy stole my machine...Sandy has made XXXXXX homeless and Sandy has killed XXXX many so far.
I am so sorry that you lost your machine and so sorry for all the people there. I too wish I had the money to buy you a new one. I pray you find one ....hang in there....one will come along just right for you.
