Am in a big feud with my brother who lives out of town who is now saying he is not coming for Christmas because his wife and her career are busy (when I said then just have her fly for a day or two and then leave when she has to, his response was that he would not ask to "inconvenience" her to do all that traveling after how hard she works. Um....it is Christmas, is that maybe just a little bit worth the "inconvenience"?  [b]drop the rope and let them make their own decisions[/b]
Argue with other family members about how to structure gifts for all the many cousins (setting a dollar amount we all agree on)- check [b]drop the rope and have them let you know what they decided.[/b]

[b]Now, put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your eyes and breath in slowly through your nose counting to 7.  Hold it in for 7 and breath out through your mouth for 7, all the time keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth.  repeat. repeat.  screen your calls and call back after you do this.  Do not engage.  let it ride over you. [/b][/quote]
