My mom is amazing. She drives me nuts at times (she knows this) but she is also very courageous in her own way. <strong>Jill: </strong>It IS great to find "Cheap Pleasures". My mom was so happy and proud, I really felt her love for me. <strong>Gregg:</strong> Thanks for the vote for my mom! When you and your brother become rich, you may enjoy having some designer clothing. You never know. But I don't see nice clothes defining you. I don't know if valuing appearance is limited to just high school and college girls! <strong> Ricardo:</strong> I'm not sure about showing my mom in the scarf but she really does like it and I know that a big part of it was the fact that I bought it for her, quite spontaneously. My mom worries about money but money does not impress her. You are right that she loves it because it came from me. Irisi: Thanks! My mom is amazing.

I have seen some very well off people looking like slobs. I would also love to see your mother in this scarf. She seems to love it very much. But what makes it so valuable to her is because you got it for her. It could have been 99 cents and it would not have mattered. She would love it just the same. All very true what W said MsQ.

My brother and I have talked about our future and when we become "rich." We don't want to dress up such as W stated the Chinese do! We've talked about it and said that we'll still dress up in athletic shorts and a t-shirt on any given day :D Although, I'd have to admit that some girls...especially in high school and college think appearance is everything!! -Gregg I agree with Irisi!
