It is appreciated. Just not always practical. I also needed a new roof a few years ago and, as nice as it is, a fancy dinner or a trip didn't solve that.You have raise some interesting points. I do recall a SP who felt I was the worst guy in the world as she did not need another fancy dress or another trip she needed a new roof and new toleits. So that is a valued point. It explains why a trip to the spa or a fancy dinner is not appreciated.
