Are you wanting a used one? There is a junk yard out from Hocking College at Nelsonville off US 33..my late husband used to get parts there all the time and they had good prices I do not remember their name?or Whaley's off of US 33 on SR 681...let me look for their number...740-992-7013 or 992-2316 one says used autos and the other the body shop, but they have a big selection of used parts and should be able to transfer you. That is about all down this way. The more that I think about the place at Nelsonville...it is Zimmerman's could be wrong?? Phil did drive to get Kenny and clan and took them back home yesterday and he is about dead....not used to all that driving! ha! Sharon

Today we are UN-loading the the white oak its 8 ft long 8 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches tall and weighs about 300 lbs or thats what the man at the sawmill said. But I'm not allowed to help or the wife and her girl friend will kick my back side

You probably need an antibiotic for the wound....this type of weather is not good for healing. Have faith and take care.

The antibiotic is what made me sick soooooo no more of that,he says the new opening could be from the inside stitches they used, must not have agreed with the old body HA HA. Say's a couple weeks and it should be healed up, just to keep it clean for now. Thanks for your concerned. ;D

Major, I am wondering do you feel better at 192 than you did at 211. I went from 225# to 203# but over a 3 month period of time.Only change in diet was I went from whole milk to 2%.Went from drinking a 1/2gal+ of whole milk to less than a quart of 2%. To be quite honest,I felt better at around 215 +or-. But that is me,and I can tell I am still loosing by just the way my pants fit.I am quite sure I am under 200#! Unlike you I am not ill,there is a reason I have lost weight! Take care,friend! snake-eyes

The doc should blame himself for giving you the powerful antibiotic. They want to blame the patient, instead of, themselves...I have worked with too many docs and I know them pretty darn well!! ;D

Take care,friend! snake-eyes Well don't know as of yet if I feel better at 192, still not eating much as of yet, they have me on the purple pill and it does help. Of course when I got married I was at 135, time will tell how I feel, will let you know.

Hi there! Good to hear from you and good to hear you're doing well, too. ;D But geez! That ORANGE is almost as bad as Carter's old BLUESquirrel wanted me to ask if you want me to send him over your way for walking tips?? He's only had to learn to walk all over again about seven or eight times (2 times in full leg casts on both legs) and thought maybe he could share some tips. He'll have you running from McConnelsville to Reinersville and back in no time!
