If you could have or improve

a personal trait that someone in your past(maybe even the present ~eg. Parent/Guardian/child/co-worker/fishing bud etc.) easily displayed, who/what would it be? OK, me 1st...Native Marylander, under the influence of Chesapeake Bay's bounty"{Fish, oysters, BLUE CRAB!} since childhood. My love(and most Marylanders) especially for Crab cakes w/Old Bay, has spawned many techniques from hand-lining(chicken on-a-string), crab traps, crab rings, crab pots, trot-lining. Catch/cook/clean/eat/drink beer/repeat has been the mantra infinitum(and still is).:cheers2 Most non-Marylanders I've met contend that eating steamed Blue crabs is just too messy. Offer them a Maryland crab cake however, and your name is added to their will!:Rofl That is exactly why this post was created!:popcorn As much as EVERYBODY enjoys Md. style crab cakes, I don't have the best capability(willpower/restraint) to sit down/pick/stockpile the scrumptious, lump backfin/other meat to be used for these "balls o' GOLD"! $$$ Financing/down payment is now required to buy the MD. Jumbo, lump backfin-meat!:yikes :Rofl:banghead
Alrighty then, enough of the backdrop details...my shout out goes to my Mom & Dad(especially) in their having the willpower, willingness AND Patience to hand-pick, save and prepare my harvest for all family/guests to ENJOY!:highfive

Good thought provoking post.
Steamed crab is hard to beat

Great post. For me, it would be my fathers patience and love for flying. He made sure I learned to fly. An incredible gift to give a young man in his early 20s.

After careful consideration. Wisdom / life experience. It surely would have saved some costly mistakes. Yet first hand experience is a really good teacher. Often times one learns the most from their mistakes. Adversity certainly builds character

Also watching others involved with their mistakes.

I would like to have a heart like Jesus and the patience my wife has...

I would love to have the bank account balance because of the patients my doctor's/dentist have!:Rofl
