IHJ, Thanks for the optimism. I have been trying that tact with W, calmly requesting NC. It seems to be having an effect on her, but I am not sure if it will be a good one. I think I will order the DVDs and watch them, with or without her. Perhaps if I am watching it, she will watch with me. I wish our 'brary had copies!

Maybe your H is planning a surprise for you, maybe that is why he was playing down the ocaission. You are setting a good example here, and the big boss has noticed!
