In order to help me live a stress free life, I have decided I will no longer argue with people.

In future I will simply explain to them why I am right.

LadyScozz - But Sharron might not want company!

You don't want to start another argument, do you?

But you can't be quiet.

You'll have to SHOUT because I'm half deaf.

If you want to take the wind out of someones sails or bring a heated argument to a standstill then try smiling or laughing.
I guaranteee it will diffuse the situation.

I try not to rise to the bait when someones annoys me by either smiling, laughing, staying silent or as Sharron says walk away.

You are right life's too short to argue anymore and our blood pressure will benefit from not raising our voices.
