I hear ya. I told my coworker 6-7 meals and he's going back. No more than 3 months no matter what. Well, that didn't work out. 16 months later and he's still here (not that I would have given him back after a certain point anyway ).
Would have taken him either way I think. My collection is complete for a long time. The last retic girl finished it off for me. Not shopping anymore.
