How To Deal With Road Rage

The best way to deal with someone else's road rage is to ignore it. If  you were clearly at fault you could show an apologetic face and if possible indicate you are sorry. If you were not at fault do not do these things:

1. Flip someone off.

2. Scream at someone.

3. Swerve in the direction of  the other vehicle.

4. Tail gate or follow the other car.


If you have other passengers in your vehicle - for example your children or grandchildren, think about them before you create or react to road rage. They are just innocent children and should not be put at any risk whatsoever because two or more adults are overreacting to a vehicle incident.

If you are involved in a minor car accident and the other driver is acting erratic you should consider calling the police and getting back in your car. However, even both of these actions can be risky and set the other driver or their passengers off even more. Use good judgement and follow their cues as long as they are no physically attacking you are threatening to attack you.

If someone cuts you off, rides your bumper, flips you off, screams at you the best thing is to keep driving normally and do not verbally or physically react to them. Try to continue to drive and extract yourself rom the situation, even if it means taking an exit that is not yours. If the vehicle continues to follow you the question becomes were they going to take that exit to or could they be following you. If you feel they are following you call 911 and if you are driving in an unfamiliar area be sure not to corner yourself in a dead-end or ally. Stay in populated areas if possible. If you see a police or fire station navigate to these structures. Do not exit your car if it seems risky.

Road rage is dangerous. Be careful and keep your eye on the real prize: your safety and the safety of your passengers, and your life, which is far more important than overreacting to another driver's behavior.

How to Put on Perfume or Cologne

 There is almost nothing sadder than when someone spends $100.00 on a bottle of smell-good, only to ruin it by putting on too much. People around are robbed of the opportunity to appreciate your investment, to catch a slight, aromatic whiff of your bottled scent as you pass them in the supermarket or in a fancy restaurant, work, everywhere you go.  And if you continue to take a bath in your perfume or cologne you have for all intents and purposes wasted your $100.00, because no one can appreciate the overwhelming scent you carry, and you would be better appreciated with no perfume or cologne on at all.  Sometimes the scent of perfume or cologne is so overwhelming it immediately invades the nostrils of others, causing some to actually feel sick or get a headache.  The best way to apply perfume or cologne to your body is not to directly apply it at all. To apply perfume or cologne place yourself in a room with high ceilings if possible. If not possible still use this p...

How to Create a Natural Privacy Fence by Growing Bamboo

 Bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants in the world is misunderstood by many people when it comes to gardening. The main reason for this is because some people do not have enough knowledge about bamboo and the 1,000 species of the plant. You can successfully grow bamboo in your yard with only a little extra knowledge about the plant and caring for it. You can create a natural fence of bamboo along perimeters of your yard by doing the following: 1. Plant a version called "clumping." There are numerous clumping versions of bamboo. Just make sure you have purchased a clumping version because it forms a root ball, and the roots should not spread like evasive varieties of the plant. 2. Decide the approximate height you are seeking for your privacy fence. This is because you can control the height of the bamboo early on. If you wait too long, it may take lift equipment to reach the top of the bamboo. You can also control the depth of the bamboo on a regular basis, for example i...

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

                                                           Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...
