Take two 2-years olds fighting over a toy. They know its wrong. One knows they were wronged if the toy is taken away and the other knows it was wrong to take it.
See I disagree. A two year old steals because they're selfish and that's something they want. What signs show they know it was wrong?
The child that gets upset and feels wronged - also because they want something and don't have it now.
As an education PhD student I am really trying my hardest not to bombard you all with educational theory1 -

I really stepped out of my comfort zone, and I said a lot of yesses where I would have said no, every time, even a few weeks ago. This was one of the greatest weekends in a long time and I’m really proud of myself. Made amazing memories and fixed my relationship with my step sister after 8 years, better late than never but wish I had taken that step sooner.
That is awesome Meg, so glad it all worked out 🙂
Thank you Jo ❤️1 -

any of ya'll mechanics that can give some advice maybe?
my pickup broke down about a month ago now. was a pretty nightmarish day. eventually got it towed and determined it was the distributor had failed. put a new distributor in it, checked the timing, and it runs again.
but since then i been having a random misfire- code 0300. i can clear the code with my odb scanner but it comes back within a day, or within minutes, it seems totally random. i'd put a new cap and rotor (cheap auto parts store versions) on it the day it died, thinking that was the issue at first. since then i've swapped my Delco cap and rotor back in place just because they were in good condition still and only a few months old anyhow.
also swapped in a new crankshaft sensor and had it relearned. new cam shaft sensor too. new ignition coil, new ignition control module, cleaned the mass airflow sensor. cleaned my filter. new PCV valve hose. can't swap the PCV valve itself because it's built into the valve cover on my year model. but it's clean from what i can tell. fuel pressure is also good so i'm not inclined to think its the fuel pump or the regulator dying either. could be bad gas but i've run some fuel/injector cleaner through it too. not having any rotten egg smells or black smoke so i don't think its the catalytic converter, and even if it was i ought to get errors from that and/or the o2 sensors in addition to the misfire code.
i do have a small oil leak from the valve cover gaskets or valve stems i think, because i've got oil buildup on one of my plugs, but i don't think it's enough yet that's it causing the misfire, and even if it was, i should be getting a specific misfire code for that cylinder i'd think, instead of a random misfire, and i should've been seeing that as an issue before the distributor itself died. the plugs and wires themselves are only about 8 months old now. either way im swapping the valve cover gaskets and putting new stem seals in this weekend, and then new plugs again, which should resolve that issue before it gets worse
not sure what else i could test at this point2 -

This reminds me of when I helped my dad and brothers work on their cars...

My 2 1/2 yr old has tap dance tonight. I really want his dad to come along for I know he'd be as proud as I am. It isn't that he isn't an involved dad, he very much so. He also just needs some down time. I kinda don't care.1

Nervous about my upcoming surgery for Prostate Cancer. At 52, it has been freaking me out during the summer, but I know I am in good hands with Massachusetts General Hospital/Yawkey Cancer Center. Doing my best to stay positive.8

My typical routine for auto repairs goes like this...
I first check the wiper fluid levels.
Then I look behind the battery.
I then slam the hood of the vehicle, sigh, wipe my hands on my jeans and tell my wife:
"For the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong here; I'll just take it into the repair shop."
This approach seems to work without a lot of thought or effort & the car always gets repaired.
