There isn't much if any value to those sort of things I'm afraid. With any luck someone may give you a couple of bucks for it at a yard sale but chances of that happening are slimmer than the machine itself will ever make you. Sorry I couldn't resist.

Chijim, I noticed you signed your post "Jim". Have we been misguided when we talk about all the "ladies" here?

have either of you gotten into the new harvard medical study into the use of psylocibin in the treatment of migraines and cluster headaches? I've been migraine and seizure free for 9 years now, and credit organic treatments that up until now have gotten totally ignored by the medical world (though it was a neurologist who first pointed me in the right direction) as to the waistline... pilates and biking whenever you can. pilates you can do on your living room rug... and when you bike, stand on those pedals. even the guy at the state fair underguesses my weight by a good 30 pounds- no one believes I weigh more than my husband. and a lot of it IS my waistline- since I still have one.

There all kinds of jeans styles out there. Some styles would lend themselves to altering the waist but regular Levi style jeans with the watch pockets and yokes would be a little daunting. I suppose you could separate the yoke portion from the rest and and either face the waist or put in a waist band. You would have to move the zipper down and you would lose the watch pocket. The front pockets would be higher as well as the back pockets unless you chose to take them out and move them down too. This is if the width of the yoke is enough to lower the waist where you want it. Then again, I looked at a pair I have and I know that different designers have varying yoke widths. Also, the yoke doesn't go across the front, only the back so you would have to lower the front by hand without a seam to guide you. Personally, I know that cool weather is coming so I would be more inclined to go back to Goodwill and look for some shorts to wear this summer. (sitting here in S. Texas in 100+ weather.)
