If I Could Change One Thing I've Done In My Life, I Would...

[Mr. Ected]

...have told my grandfather what I really thought of him before he passed away and disinherited my mother.

[malta blue]

1. that's too bad, mr. ected.

I would have never married my second husband.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

2. It's a tie:

I had opportunities to move to Japan and Norway (on work visas) and Australia (gentleman friend) in the 1980s. I didn't take them, for what seemed like very good reasons at the time. Now they seem like lousy reasons (i.e. I was chicken).

The other thing I wish I'd done differently was to ignore my mother's advice at a specific time. By following her advice I hurt someone's feelings and caused a ripple effect that lasted for years.

3. i would change nothing, everything both good and bad have brought me to here

for better or worse i have no regrets, and would have chosen no other road to have travelled.

[WinkyDink]

4. Become an actress.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

5. Never left Austin, TX.............

[EndersDame]

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

6. Have written ten books by now

and become a world famous author.

[PassingFair]

7. ...have stayed in college.

The biggest mistake of my life
was going into the family business
before finishing college.

[kedrys]

8. ...not have married

Too much weird shite has happened in the last 13+ years. :( Methinks I might have been better off by myself.

[elleng]

[LiberalEsto]

10. would have accepted a full scholarship to Northeastern U

and gotten the heck out of New Jersey, instead of going to Rutgers U.

[Zavulon]

11. ...not have started smoking.

[rebel with a cause]

12. Never been born.

Is that a big enough downer for you? ;)

[mcctatas]

13. not changed anything...

because even the bad stuff helped make me who I am and I am finally getting to the point in my life where I think i am pretty OK

[texanwitch]

14. Taken one of two jobs so I could be retired already.

And few other little things.

[Fran Kubelik]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. ...

[jobycom]

16. not bother to do so. I'd just make some other equally dumb mistake

with the new set of realities.

[abq e streeter]

17. have to figure out a way to make almost everything I've ever done seem like one thing

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Not have started my "Forks" thread!

[petronius]

20. I would not have stolen those 5 forks from CalPeg,

which started the whole mess in the first place...

:(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

:hug:

[evlbstrd]

22. married Joe in 1978

hooked up with him 30 years later and it was like he had been gone two weeks

[stuntcat]

26. fix my funny eye

I have a funny eye since my brain injury. I feel like it always distracts people, like I always look weird and crazy :crazy: I'm tired of it.

[LaurenG]

27. Not married my first husband. He was a devil

and I mean that in the sense that he's a psychopath, since he's gotten older he's officially gotten that diagnosis. Hell what does a 16 year old know about such things anyway. :shrug:
