Glad you think so.

Hmmm. Cryptic message. Are you the one who made that wonderful quilt? Inquiring minds want to know!

I have a relative who is in a different bracket than we are, so to speak. I remember, once, we ordered take out pizza and the tip this relative gave the delivery man blew DH and my minds. (We talked about it, later). So money is relative. If this woman keeps calling the quilt artist up to thank her for making it, it sure sounds like she doesn't regret her purchase and that she'll value it.

I could look at this quilt all day long...Think of your salary and how much you would make with 3,000 hours worth of excellent work.

That's just plain ridiculous...not the wealth, but to believe that kind of logic.

what's wrong with it? When you or I are in the grocery we are looking to see which brand of coffee is the best deal. Do you honestly believe someone like Bill Gates does the same thing?

How do you think the rich get rich? Most of them watch their pennies alright!
