Thanks, Jeanette, and Purple! (Don't think I've met you Purple, I will go read about you!)
Phil,
For a lot of people I recommend a nice clean sock to stuff in their mouth when they get ready to talk. For you, I'm thinking epoxy between your upper and lower teeth, and super glue on the lips MIGHT do the trick.
Listen a lot more, and talk a lot less. Any time you TELL her anything you are not only wasting your breath, you are making things worse. You don't have to agree with her to validate her feelings.
