Congrats on a super deal - certainly what goes around, comes around - you deserve it!

Welcome to SRF - glad you joined us, always good to have new folks on board.

That's pretty wild - don't think I've ever seen those before - thanks for sharing.

Welcome to SRF from AZ

... but I want to see if any of you guys are thinking about cashing in on the 450% price increase. No won't be selling mine as temping as it might be.
