Not sure why she bothers with acting in mediocre movies considering she cofounded a billion dollar company and has a net worth in the hundreds of millions.

Probably could make a few bucks.  I haven't checked market prices lately.

One of my old 15x7's has a score mark on the inside, I'll feel better with these on at the track.

Stuff that I don't really want, but is still serviceable I'll put on Kijiji for "free".

I bought a very small TENS machine...as recommended by my fav. product test site.

I didn't need it...but thought we'd need it someday

My leg was bothering me today, so I thought...why not.

Geez...this thing is fantastic.  About the size on an old iPhone..it's very small.  And with 24 different massage programs and 2 leads...so 4 total pads.

I highly recommend!
