one thing that's weird and ironic, to my way of thinking: it seems to me that we like the least in others that which reminds us the most of ourselves...

Have some balance in your Life. Yes, your career is important ... but not as important as family, friends, and smelling the roses. I've never heard of anybody on their deathbed saying "I wish I'd have spent more time at work."

Take 100% responsibility and accountability for yourself - your actions, your words, and your deeds. Things work better when you point your finger at yourself, instead of others, regarding how you react to life's challenges that come your way.

Life is a journey an adventure only live once in this form...I try to embrace that by making all my decisions consciously. This lesson I learned from a very wise man who helped me through my divorce...18 years of marriage and two children that I admire beyond my own understanding. Consciousness is the the key to maturity and understanding and transcends all belief systems. My values are simple...live, learn, laugh and love...and when in doubt I just remember the to love. Love equals light and light always trumps darkness!!!

Out of the blue Mini Force (5 years old) pipes up at dinner and says "I know about life"
I'm interested to see where this is going to go so of course I say, "Ok, let's hear what you know about life". This is how it went, 1. Love. He through me for a loop with that one. I figured it would have been something about legos. 2. Have fun. Again, not getting the type of responses I was expecting from a 5 year old. 3. Don't talk to strangers. There we go, I had to laugh. I asked him where he heard this stuff, his reply was he just knows it. Hopefully he doesn't forget.

My kiddo, now a junior in college has all these traits from an early age. All ya'all should not sell yourself short. I would suggest your children know because you know and by example presented them with a life pattern that will carry them through. My wife and I are so very happy (and yes, dare I say it, proud) of the way our son is approaching life and dealing with issues that come up. We didn't teach him all he knows. Much has come from his own analysis and experimentation. And that is what we taught him by example. Trying stuff ... if it works great ... if it doesn't file it way and carry on trying something different. And as Memphis has pointed out ... take responsibility. You can manage yourself, let others manage themselves.

Right on...my son graduated from the University of Arizona as a double major, Japanese and Biomedical Science. Proud hell yeah! My daughter graduated last year from the University of Portland as a double major in German and Communications. She also off to Germany as she is a Fulbright Scholar. Yes, I'm blessed beyond measure.
One of the lesson that was drilled into me and my brothers was that it's all about our character and the challenge to us was to be better people than they are. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

I have a 22 inch weber BBQ.
Weber 22 inch Premium Grill It smokes pork loins really well. You need these Charcoal basket Chimney starter Aluminum drip pans And you need some small untreated wood blocks, apple or cherry are the best but hickory works as well 1. If wood is very dry, soak in warm water for about one hour. 2. On one side of the grill place one of the charcoal baskets under the folding part of the grate. 3. Open the bottom of the grill all the way. 4. Start briquets in the chimney, about thirty of them. I usually put newspaper under them, pour a little vegetable oil on the paper and put briquets on top and light the paper. 5. When brickets are mostly grey, fold back the grate and pour them into the basket. 6. Place 3 to 4 pieces of wood on top of briquets. If you bought a whole loin, cut it in half. Give it a rub or how ever you would like to prep it. I use fresh garlic, and pepper. If you have 24 hours, rub it with fresh smashed garlic, pepper and salt, wrap it tight and store it in the fridge. If you do not have 24 hours, just garlic and pepper. Place it in the foil pan and put it on the prepped bbq opposite the fire. Put the bbq lid on (the lid on this one has a thermometer). Open the vent on the lid all the way for about five minutes to get the heat raised up. Partially close (1/2 to 2/3 of the way) the vent in the lid to slow down the fire and keep smoke inside the bbq. Temperature should climb to about 300 degrees. At this point you can run it for an hour or so. Watch to make sure smoke is seeping out, replenish charcoal and wood as required. The idea though is to leave the top on most of the time. After an hour take the temp of the loin with an instant read thermometer. It will not be done yet but you could remove it and finish it in an oven if you only want light smoke flavor. Either way, cook the loin until the center reaches 160 degrees. At that point, remove from heat and let rest, lightly covered for 1/2 hour. Serve 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices with corn on the cob and what ever other stuff goes with a bbq.
