I now understand what conditions you are living under. I am somewhat surprised that you couldn't use the exta room, to get some peace and quiet. It is not like they would be in there every minute. Do they not give you any options at all? There are also sound reducing head sets, that muffle all sound really well. I so hope you can get to a place where you can dive into a book and tune it all out. I think I would go nuts too if I had to listen to loud TV and the news all day. that would make anyone a wreck. Is this your family? I really am trying to figure out something that would allow you to have quiet and settle your heart and soul. Would you let me know a little more about the situation you are in? There has to be a solution for you to have more peace in your life, I am thinking.....ginnie
