Every time I talk, my husband hears "blah, blah, blah" much like adult talk in Charlie Brown movies. We're trying an ongoing email exchange, where we respond in varying colors. At least, we're relatively calm and not talking in circles when we email. We seem to listen better when we're not actually talking.
