Your friends will be so impressed. You take a whole bunch of pictures of the difficult removal and [...]The Rarest of the Rare
There’s a hole in my neighborhood down which of late I cannot help but fall -Elbow Some machines are hard to find. Even impossible. As scarce as hen’s teeth, as scarce as the truth or as scarce as butter (if you live in Norway) I spent the better part of the past ten years turning [...]Pierre Benite Shaper

I had both machines shipped via common carrier from Texas to New Jersey. The total freight bill for both machines was $402 (inclusive of insurance). I [...]What’s wrong with this picture?

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Join Our Mission! Help us build 100 More...Homes for Our Troops!In the last eight years, Homes for Our Troops has committed to giving back freedom and independence to over 100 military families. This commitment was fulfilled in 2011 and we are looking toward the future; to 100 more and beyond. With America's support, Homes for Our Troops can "give back" freedom and independence to them through a gift of a specially adapted home. www.homesforourtroops.org/getinvolved
