    I'm sure I look confused much of the time. Some of the others would require some practice, but confused comes pretty naturally.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I can't remember getting yelled at (thank goodness) in recent history, but my favorite is the "call me" sign. Way to confuse them!

    the slow clap works while driving too!!
    Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.

    This is me. I don't give a friendly wave... most often it's a one-fingered salute. When people shout or honk at me I think something is dangerous or I'm about to get hit so I freak out. Adrenaline is not my friend, I get all jittery and upset. Seriously not funny.

    Maybe I just need to lighten up a little . LOL.

    Lisa, that's a great story.

    Just an hour ago some spring breakers honked their horn and hung out their window yelling something unintelligible at DH and me. DH dinged his bell in response, I honked my bunny-shaped horn, and we were laughing while the kids were long gone.
