One day I had Kiki along with me when I had to wait for a prescription. We sat right in front of shelves full of shiny knick-knacks. Kiki loves that sort of thing, and I agree that many of them were beautiful. I could just see her starting to build up a desire to save all her money and buy everything on the shelf. Then she would go look at the prices and wail because of the impossibility of the task. In order to head off the pending emotional upset, I leaned over to Kiki and said “If I had the money, I’d buy you that unicorn right there.” Kiki smiled and studied the shelves with renewed interest to pick out something that she would buy for me if she had the money. We continued to exchange virtual gifts until the prescription was ready. Then we left the store completely happy and satisfied.
Sometimes we can only give thoughts even though we’d like to be able to give more. Tomorrow is Howard’s birthday. I have a list of things that I would dearly love to be able to give him, but which we can’t afford.
Howard, If I had the money, I’d give you a digital camera so that you could take good pictures of your minis (this one.) I’d buy piles more minis for you to paint. I’d replace all your over-large bottles of paint with smaller ones so that more stuff could fit into your kit. I’d get you a big screen, flat panel tv. I’d buy you your new glasses. I’d give you a microwave with a turn table. And I would raid your wishlist until it was empty.
There are so many things I wish I could give. I love you.

I swear, when I get my BS in accounting, your wishlists will not stand a chance…

It’s good you are separating needs from wants. I have this immensly long want list, but not much gets bought from it. Then there’s my wish list, but most of those things are ridiculously expensive (like a yacht from http://www.ussubs.com/ ), and are just for dreaming 🙂 . My needs are simple and I am usually content with needs and a few wants.

Regarding Digital Cameras. I don’t know what you can afford, but I found a small digital camera for around $130. I don’t know if thats a great price or not, but it seemed cheap to me so I bought it. Its a tiny little thing, but I like the pictures so far. I found it in a store in Phoenix, but here is an online link.
