Or if the "booked" excuse doesn't work,  Thanks so much for wanting to give us another chance, but after our previous working relationship, we feel you should go in another direction.

I have 3 cakesafes (my hubby insisted!) and they definitely help with anxiety. A LOT. I never cringe when we hit a pothole or when we have to stop quickly.    But there is still a little bit that never goes away. Mostly...
