If there was one thing you could do over what would it be and why?

As in physically? Dunno
Otherwise, listen to my gut on the day of my car-accident in 1999. I did, but relaxed too soon and that's when the b****rd hit me at rather high speed in the back, so I hit the car in front of me. Got a nice whiplash out of that.
Always wondered how my life would've been if I hadn't relaxed till I'd gotten home, always wondered if I could've avoided the accident. And what my life would've been like without the whiplash, as it took me quite a lot of years to recover and limited my life tremendously for years on end.

This is a very good question and one that has me a bit perplexed. I have a few mishaps in my past but wouldn't want to have a do over unless I could still hold on to lessons I've learned from them.

The one thing I do wish to do over and never repeat would be to never cause anyone a moments grief.

I wouldn't do anything over, its lessons in life, that's makes me the person I am today, so why would I change my past?

To '' Do over, '' where I come from, is to give someone a kicking! I thought i'd just stumbled over a Mingle forum gang meeting there?

I like this a lot! Well said!

yep a face rearranging "the Glasgow Kiss"

Seen a Scotsman in the greater Vancouver area
in McDonald's when I was on my way up north
and he was all drunk and thought these guys said
something to him so he starts going off on them.
"I'm from Scotland and I'll F* you up! I'll give you the Glasgow Kiss. I new what that meant
as I herd of the Kirby kiss from Liverpool area

I'll take one of these also

When I left Alaska and came back to Van. Island
in spring of 2000 she left me a note that
simply said "can you please find it in your
heart to please call me and the kids".
I regret I did.
"What a loooooooooooong strange trip its bin"

My mom asked me once if I thought my life would be easier if I had never met my ex-husband. Yes it would be BUT I would not have my beautiful amazing boys and I would do it all again just for them. I do wish I had a do over of the last 3 years of my marriage, but I don't know that I could have done anything different to make a better out come. Once my ex started using drugs I could do nothing. Maybe I should have left earlier... but I've come a long way and I like where I am at now. I just miss the man he used to be, someone he will never be again.

And I wish I could go back and NOT eat that last jalape�o popper. Ugh

Do-overs sound pretty romantic sometimes but the reality is I learned as much from my failures and hard times as I did any of my successes.

I have often wondered if being who I am (especially career wise), sometimes unconventional and pretty hard-core on people, is too rough but the success I have had with those same people (who had been "handled" other ways and were circling the drain) seeing them turn around seems to justify it. Nobody bats a thousand so I think everyone will have a percentage of regret but it is the over all.

My "kids" now tell me the "parenting" that they for a while really resented is what has made them the happy successful adults they now are so I am glad I stood that ground. At the time I sure died a hundred deaths though. Sometimes you sacrifice short term happiness for the lasting kind. Had I never done the unthinkable to me, divorce my kids birthfather, I would have never remarried and learn how wonderful relationships could be even if foreshorten by death.

Because so much of all the decisions are intertwined it is worth the small pains for the great pleasures. So no I can't think of a real "do-over".

I guess I would do over high school.

Nothing, if given the chance to relive my life...I would make every attempt to make sure it would play out exactly the same.

S*s been fun.

I would have been more serious regarding occupation.

In the timeless words of captain James T. Kirk- "I NEED my pain!"

About 98% of the choices I've made thus far....that'd be good.

Totally agree!
