J1,

I completely hear you about the country music thing. My W is the same way. She would not go to a country music concert, yet she went to the country music festival... of course... OM was there and "they" all went together with camp sites beside each other...

It is fun to think that our spouses are DBing us. But then their goal would be to look for and then to course correct appropriately if we reacted positively... sadly, that is not the case... whistle

As far as the boxes go, it remains... Keep them to use them, not for her to notice. Whether it ends up her using them or you, the future only knows. If you are keeping them for any other reason... you might as well chuck them and stop collecting...
