[Electronics-Talk] microwave needed

Sat Sep 2 21:19:19 UTC 2017

Thanks everyone. I did not know there was a program for balance from
Mel. I planned on getting some of them, but not here where I am
currently. Too much traffic and eyes watching and people judging. Hmmm
about that Magic chef. I wonder if the lables from the Halo Systems
would work on it? Unless I get a Home Health aide to help me out, I
will have to spend the $$. My children no longer live with me and they
knew enough to help me. I trained them, LOL! Jus enough. And I won't
be able to pay out of pocket right away.
Oh and I'm saving this. I had heard abou the Avant before, but
couldn't remember. I've seen those too, although it has been awhile.
