I know what you mean!! I show my cels so proudly 
when I have family over. At Christmas my aunt was 
asking me about my cels and the cost... I started 
to explain how the price varies from $10.00 to
 {{{Interupted...TEN DOLLARS she cries, for 
THAT!?}}} Needless to say I didn't tell her the 
other side of the price range...LOL
  I am just grateful that my Hubby understands! 
If he thought the way the rest of my family 
thinks...well uh can you say DIVORCE...`,~
  I mean yeah I KNOW that with what I spent on 
cels last year I could have a new LAPTOP Computer 
with all the bells and whistles... BUT ... the 
comp I have is fine for now & as long as I look 
at my cels with pride & happiness I will KEEP on 
buying. If the day comes when I start thinking of 
what I "could've bought" for the price of said 
cel then I will stop!!
  I actually think the other way around...I'm 
like hey who needs a stove when I can buy a 
hotplate and a few more cels..he he he
  Well thats my story...
