If it's any encouragement, I told my wife about seven years ago that I wanted to sign up, and she pretty much hit the roof. Her level of opposition was such that it didn't make sense for me to sign up, since she'd undoubtedly try to stop a suspension from happening in the event of my legal death. To make a long story short, a few days ago she finally accepted the idea, at least in principle. I haven't yet picked out a service provider, but I don't want to rush her into the paperwork just yet. I wish I had the time post some details about the long process of changing her mind, but it may not be all that helpful, since what worked in my case may backfire for someone else. Still, if you ever feel like giving in to the idea that people "never" change their minds about such things, take heart in knowing that there is at least one counterexample. Good luck. --Will ___________________________________________________________________ William L.
