What would you like to go back and change and why? (keep it as abusive free as the English language allows of course)
For me I have nagging reminders of events that I did wrong and people i've been mean too. I didn't do stuff like this often but when I did it was like cutting myself down too.
Also, i'd like to the change the conversation I had with my dear old friend Sheila who said on one saturday, shall we go see your mother in hospital today? I said "no, lets go to the garden centre like i'd promised you, as i'm seeing mum tomorrow". This of course was true, but when I saw mum the next day she was dead. (i'm not hating myself for this, just disappointed...)

Ooh, blimey. I don't think I've ever regretted big stuff. Just little stuff that doesn't really matter.
I think most of the decisions I'd change would be related to, erm, let's call them personal encounters of a saucy nature!
[I'm not going to be too blunt with my Mum & my Sister reading!]
There are a couple of opportunities which I now recognise I should have leapt at, and at least one which I really shouldn't have bothered about.
As to why... Well, why wouldn't you - given the chance? The missed opportunities were both when I was single. Of course, if I'd taken either of them, I may not have still been single for the next one, nor met my first wife, so I wouldn't have met My Lovely Young Wife and the whole of history would have been different.
OK. Let's simplify this:
I wish I'd recognised the opportunity to sleep with that girl at college, because then Hitler would never have been born and there would be no global warming.
I think that sums it up...
I can see that. Opportunities not taken!
I have some relationship stuff i'd have liked to have said to the other person before they dumped me. Hindsight really gets on my nerves sometimes- ha ha!
Good question, Chux. Like PT, I don't have any big regrets - it's not worth it, right? Everything you do shapes you, and if you didn't do it that way, you wouldn't be where you are now.
Hm... deep...
So, if I could go back in time and change one thing? It would be the moment when the DNA and chromosomes and stuff did their magic thing, and meant I didn't inherit my Dad's ability to eat anything and not put on weight. ;o)
Well, first off I'd need some sort of review machine and an editing suite, probably a large speadsheet to log all the changes too.
I would have fallen in love with Phil in my first year at uni, rather than the last weeks of the final year...Would have saved me a lot of unsuitable relationships!!! (but then maybe he would have killed me by now...hmm!)
. . . Regrets. I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention . . .
No, wait. That was Frank Sinatra, not me.
I regret that I never figured out how to win the lottery or marry a rich old guy. I regret some words that have tumbled out of my mouth that were hurtful. I regret being too conservative in my youth. (But I'm making up for it now!)
