If the converstaion is getting sticky or heated, what do you do or say to change the subject.? I point to the ceiling (or sky) and say, "Look! Is that an owl?!" At first, my friends looked at me like I was nuts. Now they know it's time to change the subject or tone it down.

There is a Nosy Parker in my neighborhood whom I BARELY know, but she complains about her dead end job when I see her out. And she will ask, when she sees me out somewhere, "I don't understand how you are making it--you're not working--your car is always parked in the drive---so how are you doing it?" This line of questioning has been going on since last summer when I left my job due to a serious illness. At first I said "I've worked for 25 years..." which I believe implies I have savings. Last week she brought it up again, and not only said the above, but she also added, "Don't you go hungry now. Do you have enough food?" I was really irritated and had resigned myself to do this... which I did, and very well, I must admit...
I simply gave her a blank stare. She said she had to go! Good riddance, Nosy Parker! :)_

I would say on a day like today did you hear about all the snow that we are going to get. I change the subject to the weather. It works and the person knows it's time to change the subject.

I just like to completely change the subject, and ask a silly question or note a random fact, it generally throws the person off, and we can walk away from the heated conversation.

I just quickly think of something else to talk about. For example: If they were talking about someone that was walking towards us I may say, "What did you do in English today?" or something pointless I don't really care that much about.

I just tell them to talk about something else because this subject is getting boring.

I just straightforwardly change it and say, "What did everyone think of that ball game last week/" or something like that.
