[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 159877"] "How about you stop and try that again?" I do the hand motion to lower your voice when she gets too loud. I use that one A LOT. When she's just going on and on and on and on and on and on - she is nothing if not persistent - about the same old things, I just look at her and bat my eyelashes. A lot. It's kind of code for overload, as well as I'm not going to get drug into this again and it has the nice bonus of making her smile or roll her eyes rather than get mad. Most of the time. "I'd take a minute and think about that if I were you." "Deep breath" while doing a deep breathe myself. Sometimes, just the word "breathe". I know there are dozens more. [/QUOTE]
