There's no end to critical comments from people whose nature it is to make them. I once spent maybe $5 on a knick-nack of a baby hippo hatching out of any egg. (If a hippo could hatch out of an egg, I now knew what it would look like). Co-worker thought that was the biggest waste of money. Sneering at other's people's possessions is a quick way some people use to make themselves feel better, and as my hippo egg shows, sneering can happen no matter how low the price.
Sambina, pardon me but your "friend" sounds like abit of a jerk. Maybe the wine encouraged him to spout off. Believe me, there's a good chance he'll become one of those balding grey-haired mid-life crisis guys seen driving red convertibles with the radio blaring. Or, he'll get a boat. Among guys, these things are acceptible. Or, he'll have a huge stamp collection. Perhaps you should ask him what he spends his money on. Grooming aids? H jammies? Expensive trips? Oh, please. How come he knows what a b looks like anyhow?
