Well, that's where we are on the same page - even though from different perspectives

I feel for those kids too - because I was one and I feel for the parents who wish they could afford what the kids want.....

I bought my daughter a Wii the other day, she first asked for one months ago when the rest of all her friends got one, but we held off - for whatever reasons, she didn't harp or badger us about one, she knew she "might" get one, one day when Mum and Dad can fit it into their budget.

She didn't know she was getting it, she cried when she got it, tears of excitement and appreciation......................her reaction made the giving only more special......

My daughter, wife and I do not want for much in this world, but the work and effort to earn it is quite often more than the reward....

And I send Elli to a private school, I want her to be the best she can be, and all I need in return is her smile..........

Cheers, RICK
