wow, thanks for the words. I wasn't asking for the pat on the back, but it's appreciated!

I have such a hard time in doing what you say. About really telling him word for word what I need. My thinking is that, if they don't want to do _________: then who am I to change their mind? I'm not going to MAKE someone do something they don't want to do on their own.

But now that you say that....What's my other option now that I've gotten to THIS point. We're basically now at the bottom of the barrel. What have I got to lose? nothing...

So - ok. I'll give it a shot.
