My inlaws were the loud ones. They already set me on edge, and then we went to dinner in an extremely loud restaurant. everything loud could possibly set me off. My husband must be deaf because he always has the tv up really loud. It makes me crazy inside! Shakti, I think we must share the same mind! It seems like we always feel the same way about a lot things. I always "get" exactly what you're saying. It's weird but in a neat way!
