My second Commandment is (loosely stated): You cannot, never were, and never will be, responsible for the behavior/wellbeing of another person.
Bob, your advice is welcomed by me, but I don't hold you responsible for anything I do to my car. Or with my life, for that matter. That's my responsibility. BTW, thanks for your advice and inspiration on the list. I've used it with great benefit, and I appreciate it without any strings attached. --Dave PS--My second commandment doesn't apply to children.
