Looking back that was my biggest mistake....

Tattoomom	Date: February 14, 2008 @ 10:59 PM So if you could un-do one thing in your life...what would it be and why? C'mon...Inquiring minds want to know....
Mojosnake	Date: February 14, 2008 @ 11:45 PM dont even get me started ......
shadowself	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 12:30 AM Getting started.
Mojosnake	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 12:39 AM all my roads lead to nowhere but still i travel......
Opossum	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 8:55 AM Hmmm, well, theoretically it wouldn't matter that much due to both the domino effect (for example, if you didn't pick that ONE thing NOT to do, everything else would flow the same way, anyway) and the low-level frequency laws of cause and effect as a linking to all the many complex things that aren't remotely relative to your own choices. So, I guess my answer would be... Um...I don't have a clue...

zedsalt	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 11:00 AM This is NOT something I need to be thinking about. I constantly obsess over small, pointless transgressions both real and imagined, so instead of some other path I could've taken which would have greatly improved the life I've since lived, I'd likely end up with something like not knowing that it's NOT the center who calls for the ball to be hiked when I was a junior high football player, or a few years later, when I told my girlfriend about this great new band I'd heard called "inksis", after she'd been gushing over INXS for some weeks.
ShadowMom	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 1:00 PM I prefer not to think about mistakes-- it only leads to guilt, regret, and second-guessing... which might explain why I keep making the same ones over and over. Oh come on! You KNOW I'm a perfect I just felt the need to be included in such a high-falutin' philosophical discussion. My head hurts now... where's the aspirin?
8111	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 1:26 PM I would have given more of my time to a few key people in my life. For example, I'll never get to see my nephews grow up again; I had an opportunity to share much more with them than I ever did. I was there, and yet I wasn't. It's pointless to beat oneself up over things one could have done differently, but the sting will always be there, just beneath the surface, making life the bittersweet journey it is I guess...
Tattoomom	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 7:21 PM Well...since I do think that the present is a culmination of all our experiences up to this point, I probably wouldn't UN-do anything either because I am completely happy in Bill's arms, BUT if I could do anything differently...I would pay more attention to what was going on around me day by day minute by minute rather than missing so much beauty and glory and joy by focusing on future goals and other things over which I had little control and which in looking back, had little importance in the long run...
leedsquietman	Date: February 15, 2008 @ 7:33 PM No point in living life full of regret. Regret and guilt are evil destructive mechanisms to be avoided. I'm sure we all have dozens of 'if only...' moments but the fact is we are where we are, so better make the best of it. Who's to say doing anything else differently would have led to a better life anyway, look how many lottery winners are now potless, broken, unhappy people. Just be glad to be alive and that you're not one of the 70% of the World's population who are dying, diseased, persucuted for religious or political beliefs, involved in civil wars and conflicts and daily threat to life, etc.

I wouldn't have eaten that chocolate frozen yogurt when I was a kid. Because it was rancid and left me with a distaste for chocolate ice cream ever since. I don't know how frozen stuff goes rancid, but I think it was.

aflunky	Date: February 20, 2008 @ 3:11 PM I would go to Vegas a week before the Super bowl and bet the amount of a mortgage on the Giants!
