No worries. I already have 2 of them plus a junk unit. I think 4 total would be overkill.  :-DD

Edit.....although I do have 3 Type 547's.  ;D

Sorry to hear that; I wish you some magic to get rid of all of your allergies(one can hope, isn't?).

you are aware of the meaning of "buy a farm" ?

Ehhh... I always heard that said "bought the farm", as in past tense, already dead. Though there is some irony in there; like the song goes: "There ain't nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town..."  :o

It is my understanding that "bought" or "buy" are both valid - but what is distinctive is the use of the definite article: "the" - not the indefinite article: "a".

I.E. "Buy the farm" or "Bought the farm" are indicative of a fatal outcome.
"Buy a farm" or "Bought a farm" are indicative of a real estate purchase.

At least, that's how I understand it.
