[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 365377, member: 2211"] [COLOR=darkslateblue]Aw DDD, your post really made me smile. I have a friend who is loud by any and all standards and believe me, she knows it. She says "Hey, this is how I am, I'm sorry if it seems obnoxious, but I'm loud. I have five kids and a husband who don't listen to me..." lol. I once asked her if she was loud before H and kids and she said, "Probably, I don't know."
