I am so sorry to hear of your dilema right at Christmas! I used to live in Ramona...if I still did, I would bring you one of my machines to use. I learned long ago that having a back up machine is a good idea...Walmart has them for less than $100. right now...they might not be the best but they might get you over a tight spot. This time of year, they should be on sale, also. Best of luck to you and let us know how this turns out! I loved Ramona, miss it still. I lived out at the Country Estates but nearly allt he homes around us burned in the Cedar fire and so we decided it was time to move...we moved to Texas and I have regretted that ever since!
