Yes? Jabba, on the other hand, seems more likely to me to only really understand the desire to acquire things simply for the sake of acquiring things -- not from any real appreciation, but from a greedy and boastful nature, to show off wealth and power. Does that make any sense?<BR/><BR/>And I may be just full of crap, I admit. :) At any rate, I really enjoyed your post. Oh, and before I forget, I want to tell you how much I like the lace scarf you're working on, and love the colour!lenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107493711380949553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641541.post-86992479007251167662008-01-11T15:06:00.000-05:002008-01-11T15:06:00.000-05:00Well, I agree with your post but I'm not Amy.

It's do you have enough? And "Enough" isn't just stuff - it's an asthetic as well.
