I would say:
Ella no dejó de hablar ... ... ni un (solo) momento. ... todo el rato. Ella hablaba y hablaba. (Todos los pasajeros del autobús querían que se callara.) Ella hablaba sin cesar. |

I don't understand that sentence.
Please. Could you explain better the sentence.? I suppose that it's should are so: Today. In my home, Just I was talking with a roomate but, she never finish of talk about your home that it was painted blue color, such she was during three hours, and never she chewed my ear off. I hope that my example is good. Have a good day. |

Usual here is "hablar por los codos"
other option is "me dejó la cabeza como un bombo", that is, "at the end my head was like a drumm" (that she has repeated beated) saludos |
