Road Rage Solution
Sometimes irate drivers
give me the finger!!!!! I use to get upset.Now I give them a big smile and shake my head "YES" (as if it were an invitation that they offered me)...and I motion to pull over {:0)...One guy did a double take and then shook his head "NO" so vigerously,he looked like he was having a seisure. It is fun to shock them back in a fun way.Caution....this only works if youre fat and older like myself!Actually I suppose the "older" has little to do with it,it's probably just the "fat" part...or maybe they saw the movie "Misery"...or else I just appear to be a needy lunatic....

ROFL You are a kook. Be careful, you might run into someone like me who will take you up on the oppurtunity.lol Of course I wouldn't flip someone off, so I guess we'll never bump into each other that way. I'm going to try that next time though.
By the way, I've seen your picture and you are so, not fat or old... Were you fishing, again. man Beth, never enough compliments for you huh? Okay here you go.
Beth is a glowing example of ripe womanhood. A seed growing symbol of Mother Earth. Beauty personified. Oh yeah, and she ROCKS!!!
Ang
Yes! Be careful with that! There are a few of us who think beauty has not a thing to do with weight - one way or the other!
But it is most frequently a good idea to greet anger with a nice positive attitude!
Ooop! I am late again!
I never get the finger but alot of honk BUT honk back at them to see if they like it. they act like they never did oopsie on the road.
My husband has a bit of a problem with driving almost ON TOP of the car in front of him. Waving and honking. I remind him, "That could be me driving that car with a baby in the back seat.......so BACK OFF!!!!" : )
It works. When someone does that to me I slow down...when you get off my butt, I'll speed up a bit. But the closer you get ....I'm slowing down.
LOL, you're so funny! I don't think I'd do that, but it was a good comeback.
I just wave and smile. My only hope is that 5 minutes later, when I've forgotten about them they're spilling hot coffee on themselves, distracted while thinking about how nice I was.
OMG thats too funny. I LOVE it!! And hush up about being fat. Even if you are... who cares? I am... but my hubby loves so thats all that matters ; )
*HUGZ*
i have extreme road rage. thre have been times when iv'e gotten out of the car and pounded on windows. i also followed an asshole until the police caught up with us. he was out of control. even more than i.
I'm laughing my ass off Beth! That's a good one! Although plenty of men PREFER a heavier woman!
Hi seen you all over xamga land and had to stop by.
Hello good morning LOL that is great I love that come back. I really stoped getting upset a while ago when I started to notice that all the jerks that get on my butt and flash there lights at me and hink and flick me off really dont get any where any faster. Most of the time I pass them because they are so busy yelling and cussing they get behind everyslow person in the world and I just pass on by with a smile. Also I read about a test they did with a guy who had complete road rage and a calm driver. They had them drive across a city to see who got there firsts. The roadrage driver got there fist by 5 mins and was so stressed out and mad that he had to spend the next 20 mins calming down to be effective where as the calm driver showed up 5 mins later 
safe and sound and happy. HAVE A GREAT DAY
Thats a good one. I don't know if I would have the courage. I am just glad they don't have a gun.
Hmmmm . . . that's a thought . . . but I'm not to sure Al_son would concur . . .
I'd better just give them a nice smile and a wave.
Happy Election Tudesday . . . Don't forget to Vote.
hahah..your funny...I usuall wave and saw HI.....nice to meet you too..rofl
LMAO @ your comment to me... damnit I forgot all about mentioning menopause! Well when Xcholo4u comes back with some more stuff I can through that back LMAO
*HUGZ*
Hahah, you scare even the angry road-rage drivers...
a good way to challenge them...
RYC: Nora died, as did the woman doing the shooting..I forget her character name though (she played Jackie on Roseannes TV show a few years back)...Lynette was also shot, but she didn't die.
I won the court hearing
hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! I'd love to try that someday.
I've been known to do some off the wall things to drivers who get irate with me...smiling and waving is usually my first line of defense...I think your method is hilarous!!
How are you today?
RYC: LOL, Beth! I dunno...but I'm sure there's got to be something!
If not now, maybe the next post! 
Too funny. I had similar things happen to me at the coventry mall this weekend.. three instances in a matter of 2 minutes.. I can tell it's almost Christmas season!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh my god. LOLOLOL
Now I am the one who has to change her jeans! LOL... you are so funny!
LOL...that is so funny
Glad that you can stay positive!
lol thats a riot, too funny
LOL good one beth!!!!
lol so funny...is that all it takes??? I'll have to try it!
irate drivers. I do that too!
ryc: Yeah, several states have races
I'm interested in so I plan to stay up
late tonight watching returns. Yes I
am a barrel of excitement
DANG! i'm fat..but nobody ever flips me the bird... I AM so looking forward to it next time tho - specially since it'll prob be a guy..
Teehee.... well, I always think if someone is flipping me off, or shaking their fist, they must have other issues, and are obviously having a bad day which I just happened to add to : ) It does seem to greatly irritate them to receive a smile, I think they'd prefer a person to be a jerk in return : ) -
I hate rude drivers!! I love that you shake your head yes!! That has to really piss them off!!
Homemade relish??? OMG .. I am SO there ... my niece, SeafoamMermaid is coming also. It will be a Xanga Four-For-All!!! I can't wait to meet you and Bradley .. it will be FUN!!
I hope you are having a great day!!
you!! Alicia
I voted at 3:20 woohoooo had to get done with work first lol hope your day was great thanks for stopping by.
I'm glad you can laugh it off. Other drivers make me so mad sometime I wanna scream!
That's cute and so Beth...
oh boy you probably just piss them off more by doing that.
by the way, you have this cute, little girl look about you, in your pics. =)
Have a great day Beth.
HAHA!!! Thats great, I don't think that my hubby would appreciate it if I did that. He's too serious.
LMAO!!!!
Sometimes when someone cuts me off or does something stupid while driving, I laugh at them. It's better for me to do that then to get my blood pressured raised because of THEIR stupidity. Sometimes people are idiots!
you're my favorite Lunatic
LMAO .....I'm going to have to try that myself.
Oh, you crack me up! Thanks for being one of 2 people who actually took that quiz- my subscribers are party poopers:(
In any case, I think you're beautiful, and no I'm not patronizing you:)
i'm gonna have to try that one of these days!
baaaaaaaahahhaha i love it!
HA HA HA Now there is a good attitude.
So Funny!!!!I'm a bit shy for that one...but would like to try it.

RYC: Sean Connery - always, always have loved him! Liam Neeson does have something about him that is attractive. I always thought Gregory Peck was handsome, too. Oh, YES! Kevin Bacon is NOT attractive AT ALL! I know what you're saying about Tom Cruise's tooth...that has always bothered me about him! Well, one of the things...lol. We call it a snaggle tooth in my family, too.
lol.
I am glad you got to vote! Thanks for the ever so sweet words, too!
Night!
That is too funny!
Night!
lolz ... funny
and Thanks for stopping by
...you are my role model hahahahhaha
id rather just drive at a normal speed and if someone IS following closely, id just slam on the brakes
That is hilarious, I am going to have to try that. Although I haven't gotten the finger in a very long time. I guess I will have to try to tick someone off so that I can do it! Have a great day!
Where were you yesterday when I needed you???!!! I was yielding coming off one road to go onto another....this guy in a truck behind me came up around me to pass me as I was turning right onto the next road....It was as if he never saw me in front of him....and my van is a VAN and it is RED. I got out from beside him and did not let him do what he was attempting to do but a second later I would have been in a ditch. I am not retaliatory but I really should have just gone as slow as I could then but he got me so upset I went as fast as I could to get away from him.
I could have used ya Beth!!!! We could have just made it all sorts of fun.
I'll get back with you soon about lunch....bad week...flood in downstairs....YUK!!!
haha thats awesome
Amusing. (=

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say,
I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm
still new to everything. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?

Would yyou sutgest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? Tere are so many options out there
that I'm completely confused .. Any ideas? Bless you!
Hi there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic
however I needed to ask. Does building a well-established website
such as yours take a lot of work? I'm brand new to running a blog
but I do write in my journal every day. I'd like to start
a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new
aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
What's up, all is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing data, that's genuinely fine, keep up writing.
Good day! I could have sworn I've been to this website before but after reading
through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Nonetheless, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back
frequently!
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our
community. Your site provided us with valuable info to work
on. You have done a formidable job and our whole community will be grateful to

single thing like this before. So wonderful to find somebody with unique thoughts on this subject.
Really.. thank you for starting this up.
This site is one thing that is needed on the web, someone with some originality!
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, thus he/she wishes to be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.
Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have created some nice practices
and we are looking to exchange techniques with other folks,
please shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know
a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.
Unquestionably consider that which you stated.
Your favourite justification seemed to be at the internet the easiest factor to remember of.
I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same time as other people consider
issues that they plainly don't realize about. You controlled to hit the
nail upon the top and also outlined out the entire
thing without having side effect , folks could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog
and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your info. I really appreciate your efforts and I
am waiting for your next post thanks once again.
This site was... how do you say it? Relevant!! Finally I've found something that helped me.

This design is incredible! You obviously know how
to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
Good info. Lucky me I ran across your site by chance (stumbleupon).
