Ok, boy am I gonna catch it for this one, but......

It all depends upon what you are trying to do, with the clothes. If your busy social schedule has you invited to one affair after another, then you probably should invest in the full strength God's honest Scottish woven, Scottish Tailored real McCoy. Spend the money and enjoy it for years to come.

If on the other hand, you are not exactly sure how many times you might wear the item, or if you will ever wear it besides a once a year trip to the opera or a Burns night, then it seems foolish to spend that kind of money on what my better half calls a passing obsession.

One of the things I learned in several years of theater is nothing is what it seems, and anything can be made to look like something it's not. John's jacket is a good example of this, he's made a silk (or least a silken) purse out of what at first would seem to be a sows ear.

In my case, the PC is a tool for a new business. That's why I bought it. Like any tool, there are more expensive ones and less expensive ones. I bought one that I felt I could reasonably afford to to the job for which it is intended. Should I have chosen wisely, then there will be more purchases in the future, of even better quality tools. On the other hand if I have made the wrong assumption, and it does not do what I anticipate, then I have a acceptable ensemble for the rare opera or Burns night.

I ask, where is the greater glory, in a ensemble of the highest quality paid for with hard garnered wages, that hangs in the closet unworn, or the lower quality garment that is retired from use after doing its intended purpose?ith:
