Hope Billy is doing ok. I'm new so I don't have a lot of history with you guys but I've read about 70 pages of this thread and it's obvious what a great and thoughtful person Billy is.

Will post that pic asap, whole thing is packed in the truck for the trip home tomorrow, along with a couple hundfed yards of fabric found at a yardsale today. DH took me by a sale with about 20 totes lining the drive. At first I said not to stop, too hot to dig through a bunch of clothes in totes. Imagine myshock when I found them ALL heaping full of fabric. Lady said that was only half what she started with. I heaped a lg tote with fabric of every pastel color you could thinkk of, looks like thirty or forty pcs about 5 to 6 yds each! Will make great backs for quilts, will prob give some to the church for their quilt ministery. Bte, the two spools sews a beautiful stitch!

Also, a question for the experts here:
A local resale shop has 2 Singer 15-91 machines with bases. With delivery, I can get both for about $125 (total). All of the obvious parts are there, but the cords are original, so they would need replacement for safety. (about $25 or so per machine) I ahve not tested the motors.It looks like these machines are fairly common on eBay.
Would it be easy or difficult to resell one of the machines, for about $100, to pay for the other. ?

That is a good price and you can easily get your money back if you service them yourself and sell one. Congratulations on your machines!!

I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. 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.

Knowing He can heal
Hold on to God’s promises
No matter how you feel
Open your heart and receive
A fresh touch from the Lord
And know that we are praying for you
That you will be restored.

I want to say thank you for all of the love and prayers being sent from you guys, you can not imagine what this really means to me. I have always viewed everyone here as family and I had no idea how big and loving my family really was. Valerie is even amazed at the amount of PM's and loving notes and post that have been made. She is really taken back by all of this and noted that everyone here seems to be like a huge family. I did tell her that she needed to hop on here and give updates letting you all know what is happening with me. I think before it is over with she might be a member of the board too, and she doesnt even sew. :lol:

Sure pray this latest round of drugs is the cure.
A year ago I had a viral thing that had my mouth full of sores. It was miserable. And even now I have a sore or two a month on the roof of my mouth. It is like the virus is a part of me, ugh!

My first thought was mold.
