This weekend I purchased the Juiceman II for twenty dollars at a yard sale. All I had to hear were the words "this cost almost 200 dollars in the store and was only used once," and I was hooked. I'm also one of those consumers that buys the crap located next to the checkout stands because I all of a sudden realize that I really do need it after all even though I had gone to the store to purchase toilet paper only. Anyhow, this morning for breakfast I juiced some grapefruit and apples. It was in one of the many juicing books that came with the machine so I figured it would be decent. I'm not going to lie; it was pretty tart. Still, I'm excited for summer and all of the fruits and vegetables that will soon be coming our way. Juiceman II - you and I are going to become good friends! At least for a couple of months until I get bored with you and stick you on the fridge next to the dehydrator I HAD to buy last winter so that I could take healthy snacks to work.......
I want a juicer so bad. I almost broke down and got a Jake Lulan Power Juicer but couldn't justify it as I am so poor. I just want to juice myself silly.
Let me know if it changes your life and perhaps I might make the investment.
Good luck with the juicing. I am usually a little cautious when someone says "It's only been used once." It makes me think, "Why? What's wrong with it?"
We used to juice ALL the time (via Vita Mix) but produce in the East is so expensive so now our blender is just a counter decoration.
I'm a 30 something year old living in Vegas and wondering when I'll get used to the summers. I love to travel, be with friends, and be outside with my dog, Jack. Life is good. No complaints here.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
"Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves to them demand-free and asking for nothing but their company." -Milan Kundera 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.....I'd also like to give a shout out to Brooke Hart for introducing me to this quote.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
1. The gospel doesn't make our lives perfect, but it gives us a perfect perspective
2. We don't necessarily have to change friends when we realize and accept that our friends are going to change
3. Things are usually better in the morning, but sometimes they're better the very same day with the right people in your life
4. There are certain things that I shouldn't have to, and won't put up with
5. There are a thousand reasons to be happy every day
6. Your trials may not appear as significant as someone else's, but they're still yours, so don't feel like you have to make them insignificant
7. I can get through anything with the support of family and friends that love me and want nothing but good things for me
8. The world is full of endless possibilities for adventures and joy
9. God knows me - and loves me - and is my greatest advocate in this world
10. You should never take advantage of a meaningful friendship, of a good dessert, of the little things that make you smile, of the positive effects of others around you, of simple comforts, and of the blessings in your life on a daily basis
