I am asking prayers for my siter-in-law, Verlene. They found three brain turmors today and she has terminal brain cancer. They will do chemo and raditation at the same time. At the best she will have a year. Thank you so much. Kathie

Billy, your trip sounds spectacular, especially a visit to the Grand Canyon. That is one place that I really want to see. They tell me that pictures just cannot do it justice. You will have to tell us all about it when you return. I know you are not planning to leave till later in the summer, but hope you have a great time and be safe.

Kathie, so very sorry to hear about your sister-in-law, my heart goes out to you. It's never easy to get news like that, but I pray that your faith will sustain you and your family. Will remember all of you in my prayers.

Came with all accessories, a decent case and tray (minus one latch)and manuals. Has a little decal wear, but fired right up when I plugged it in. I will clean it up some, and post a photo soon.
Just an aside, I also found a Vigorelli machine, unsure if it works, as the wiring was shot...lots of bare wires and potential for injury. The cabinet was cool...had the chair that slides in and looks like it's the front of the cabinet. They wanted $50.00 for it. I'm thinking about returning tomorrow. What do you guys think, should I go get it, and are these machines any good?
Thanks,
Jane

Remember these are Billy's tutorials so when you do the search look for Lostn51 then put them under "My Bookmarks" to keep them for next time.
