I don't really know much about Ipods, but I'm pretty sure the Nano is better than the Mini. The price is jacked up if you buy one with more space too. If you're able to get more money then I'd go with the Nano. It's really up to you though.

I believe that you should buy into the "Roark and Mana Joint Stock Expense Enterprise." I'll give you 10,000 shares for $100.

Make her, huh?
So... let me get this straight.... your grandmother gives your mother a gift of money, and your mother turns around and gifts some of that money to you. In return, you're going to make your mother give you even MORE money just so you can buy something that's more than $100? Wow, that's one of the most selfish things I've ever heard.
What's wrong with things that cost less than $100? It's not like you're going to die without an Ipod. Or save it to buy Christmas gifts. I mean, seriously now o_O;;;

Er..Not make her..Beg her. >.>
Yeah..My grandma gave that money to me..but since mom uses it for more 'useful' stuff..She kept most it.She said I'd just waste it on junk like books..
Meh..Maybe I should just buy manga with the money.

Save it until you can buy something you really know you want with it, but use about 10 dollars to buy a Chipotle burrito.

Get a 2 gig refurb (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=2ACE5063&nclm=Certified) for $100. Problem solved. ;)

It means that I'll give you 10,000 shares in my company. You hold onto them for a bit, and soon they'll be worth ten times what you paid!
not bad, eh?

$100 can buy alot of chocolate brownies.

I'd say hold onto it since Christmas is coming around the corner in a month and a half. What would be better than turning that $100, that you recieved for yourself, into thoughtful gifts for members of your family?

Buy some porn subscriptions and send them to Dennis. He'll hate you for the rest of his life, but he'll secretly keep the links stashed in his sys32 folder for easy access.

Are you kidding me? Her grandma wins EIGHT THOUSAND and gives her daughter and granddaughter a measly 6 bills! That's the cheapest thing I've ever heard!
My grandma gladly and frequently splits her winnings three-ways with my mom and me. I would have probably seen 2k in that situation, and believe me, we are not financially stable. Casino money is fun money, not bill money.
Which reminds me, I think I'm going to Winstar tomorrow, Video Poker here we come!
Edit: Hoho!

I just now saw this, here I was thinking Grandma was the cheap one, now I see it's your mom! And how in blue hell are BOOKS of all good things junk! Blasphemy! Make that bitch pay you!
By "useful" I'm assuming booze and cigarettes.

Ditto. Come on now, I wouldn't have thought you could do such a thing - why stop at $100 when you can have more :stooges: ?
Seriously, $100 isn't really a small sum of money if you can see it in other ways. Yes, people who've advised you to save that money for other time may get to your nerves, but truthfully, it pays off eventually. If you want to go get a Nano with that 100 bucks, then by all means go ahead.
It may seem little for you now, but you'll truly know how much a $100 is worth once you're making ends meet when you go :graduate: ... if you get the drift.

You guys are so right.I've been selfish.Maybe I should just wait until mom needs the money and asks to 'borrow' it and never return it.

she should be grateful is what she should be. not ever one gets 100 bucks everyday without having to work for it.

Pfft, you guys are just lame. And yes, manga is waste, quality books are not.
And guess who got a Royal Flush last night in Video Poker? WOO HOO Mother****ers! Oji just made an easy grand!
And no Annie, you aren't really being that selfish, if you want a 200 dollar mp3 player, and your grandmother gave you 600 dollars, you should get it. Even if you don't use the whole 600, and your mom needs it for bills, you should get something nice out of this.
