What is the best decision you ever made?

[begin_within]

[Pool Hall Ace]

1. Getting a tubal ligation back in early 2001.

I'm practically bullet-proof from pregnancy.

[SeattleGirl]

9. Me too, back in the early 80's

Never had a single regret about it.

[flvegan]

2. Adopting a vegan diet and lifestyle.

Never felt better.

[Arugula Latte]

3. To have children.

:woohoo:

[Alleycat]

11. I was going to say having my daughter but....

she wasn't a decision more like an accident (on the pill)- although a much appreciated one after the fact!!! She was the best accident I ever had!:bounce:

[LeftyMom]

4. Having LeftyKid.

:loveya:

[Alleycat]

5. Getting out of debt

and paying off credit cards. I am working so hard to put them behind me forever. I can't wait for the day I get the zero balance statement. I got sick and tired of all the BS involved with them and never want to use them again. Hopefully sometime this summer (July is my goal) they will be completely paid off.

Next goal is to sock away as much money as possible so I have an emergency fund so I will never need to use the cards again!

44. Good for you - don't slip up - it only takes one impulsive shopping spree

to set yourself back again. YOU CAN DO IT!!! :yourock:

[Left Is Write]

6. Marrying Mr. LiW.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Becoming Wilford Brimley's live-in love slave

I've never been happier! I love the way he does bondage and humiliation.

[eyepaddle]

10. It's the right thing to do

(groan) or at least the obvious one! ;)

[Left Is Write]

15. Well, please...

Hasn't everyone done that at one point or another?

;)

[begin_within]

16. And to think I turned him down that night at the Boom Boom Room.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. You pathetic, sorry fool.

:thumbsdown:

[begin_within]

29. Not quite... I did snag one of his hearing aids.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Don't you love it when he force-feeds you oatmeal?

*sigh* That's the best ...

[Iniquitous Bunny]

21. Oops! Missed yours before I did mine.

Now the oatmeal love just doesn't feel special anymore. :cry:

[Arugula Latte]

27. Don't feel bad ... He told me he had put extra brown sugar in yours.

:think: ...'Cuz you were special to him ... Yeah, that's it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Yeah, but it ain't my mouth he's putting it in

:evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

33. Ew.

Just, Ew. :blush:

[Iniquitous Bunny]

20. Not to mention all the oatmeal you can eat!

:bounce:

[Left Is Write]

23. And blood sugar checks!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

28. If not for Oregonian's brown sugar...

I wouldn't need it. :P


:D

[seemunkee]

8. Marrying my wife

second smartest was getting a vasectomy after two kids.

[Sanity Claws]

12. Leaving a certain relationship several years ago

[Iniquitous Bunny]

24. Yup!

Something like that as well. :)

[file83]

45. That was a VERY good decision! ;-)

[Orsino]

13. Signing onto match.com back in the day.

That's how my wife found me.

[bigwillq]

14. Coming out of the closet

and telling my family and close friends that I am gay. Best thing I ever have done.

[Karenina]

19. Getting the hell outta "Dodge."

:patriot:

[miss_american_pie]

22. Having kids

[Bzzzz]

25. Divorcing my ex...

and marrying my hubby...20 yrs. strong...
2nd best...tubal ligation

[LynzM]

26. Asking my husband if he wanted to talk

One night at the bar... and we did, for three hours, and look where it got us :loveya:

[TrogL]

30. Giving up teaching

It wasn't working

[Redstone]

31. To start breathing when the doctor smacked me on the ass.

Redstone

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

34. To enlist in the Air Force straight out of high school

otherwise I'd have been stuck in the middle of a big, flat, empty nothing, and I'd never have gotten out into the world.

[Lindsey]

35. Moving to California from Texas in 1987...

I have NEVER looked back. Since I moved here I am absolutely living the life of my dreams. Everything I ever wanted is right here and I'm so thankful that I can call L.A. my home.

[Catch22Dem]

42. A very good decision for me as well

I really wasn't going anywhere back then. My life is completely different now.

[rbnyc]

36. To go to college.

I was discouraged from taking college prep courses in high school because I cut school a lot and was told they had to save room in those classes for students with a future.

Nice, huh?

Maybe I wouldn't have cut school if I had some interesting classes.

(Or if I weren't a survivor of childhood sexual abuse working out my feelings with drugs and older men.)

Anyhoo!

I had won a lot of writing awards and did really well on my ACTs so I decided to apply to this small, elite, liberal arts school that heavily recruited students who could win writing awards.

It was the only college I applied to and it saved my life.

[NNadir]

37. To marry my wife.

[Dem2theMax]

38. Never getting married. Or having kids.

I'd be horrible at both so I'm glad I was smart enough to admit it to myself. :)

[file83]

43. I second that for myself as well.

(we know something they don't know!)

[Dem2theMax]

47. Smart, aren't we?

I'm too set in my ways to want to settle down with anyone else. And I've been that way since I was born. :)

As for kids, I could listen to parrots scream all day long. 10 seconds of a baby/kid screaming has me running for the hills. NO patience for them at all. I have so much respect for people who have kids. But kids are lucky I decided to stay kid free. LOL.

[enigmatic]

39. Moving to Canada....

being w/ my wife, and not having kids...

[Katherine Brengle]

40. Having my daughter...

I was only 22 and I really wasn't sure, but she is the most amazing person I have ever met, and I couldn't imagine my life without her.

Other good ones include:

Marrying my husband--an incredible, loving man.
Becoming vegan--I am healthy and happy and livin' it up!
Quitting smoking--still technically a work in progress, but smoke free for 11 days and going strong!

[msatty99]

41. Congrats on ll days. I tried but have failed so far

two weekends ago I made it for three days. I am an addict.

Good luck.

[amitten]

46. To face all my fears and kick 'em right in the ass.

I win!!! :bounce:

[neweurope]

48. To buy a horse after recognizing I was seriously ill.

That animal has given me the best ten years of my life :)

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[twenty2strings]

49. Marrying my incredible wonderful wife...

I am sorry that it hasn't worked out for others, but I am so happy...after ten years!

[JCMach1]

50. Leaving the US for greener pastures

:party:

[MissMillie]

51. Besides having my son

It's a whole new life for me now.
