Thanks for the advice one and all. I thought it was interesting that 6 people replied- 5 guys + 1 gal, and the gal, AuntyM was the only one that felt my wife should pay half the cost. I learned long ago the secret to keep harmony with your sweetie is to agree with her, apologize alot and compliment her. I'll tell her she's right and buy the glasses, so I don't have to pay for them in other ways....
