Depends on the situation. I've told you about that drunken neighbor that lives across the street, right? Well, his woman got moved into a convalescent hospital so now he doesn't have anyone to annoy or torment so he's picked on me. When he shows his face on this side of the street and does something on purpose, I yell at him or I'll do something to get his goat. I shouldn't but I do.

If hubby makes me mad, I'll ask him if we can talk. I'll try to keep my voice down and my tone semi-gentle.

When my kids piss me off, I give them the silent treatment most of the time. Wrong, but I do it... except for my youngest son up until this last time. I've always called him and asked him if we can talk about what's bothering us. Sometimes we both wind up yelling but in the end, we straighten things out.

Sometimes I tend to hold in my anger if there's nothing I can do about the situation or it wouldn't be in my best interest.

What a revelation of myself! YIKES!! Back to the drawing board...
