She enjoys doing the couponing thing and saving money on a lot of our other consumables, but she drives 75 on the highway and won't take it easy at the stoplights. Anybody here have any ideas on how to convince her to take it easy?
Show her photos of the US military personnel killed in action,defending the safe passage of that 50% of foreign oil in her gas tank that she's wasting.
