    One of my favourite things to do... go back in time a couple days, weeks, months, years, and think, "What if i did this differently?" Anyone have any tough choices they had to make in the past? Where would you be now had you chose the other road?

    I could make a list several miles long and not be able to cover everything i want to change from my past. Even after posting here, I want to go back 2 minutes and stop myself from writing in this thread

    Though I'm fairly happy with how things have turned up until now. Can't always think about my mistakes from the past ... I just have to look ahead and try to avoid duplicating them down the road of life.

    Thats one of me least favourite things to do, i live for now not something that can never happen.
    Its always impossible to tell where you would be, all you can do is guess.

    dont worry about it, what is done cannot and shoud not be changed, if you said or did something then why would you want to change it now

    I'm grateful for my mistakes. They have been opportunities to learn and for unexpected joys. There IS no time machine, no "Doc" with a "Delorian," so you have to face the truth that we make mistakes. We can't dwell on it, it would drive us INSANE. We can only hope that we don't make the same mistake twice, or be thankful when it teaches us a lesson or if your mistake leads you to an opportunity that you would have othewise missed.

    uhm.......

    I got nuthin.

    Yeah okay, sumthin, but not much.

    I mean, I know I never should have taken that viagra that day... and I feel like a better man for knowing the humiliation a pants-tent can bring a guy at zoo. Dah hawah. Never again damnit.

    Hehe.

    Okay not that.

    Senselessly dwelling on bad stuff is bad, I agree. Seems like a popular habit.

    i wonder, how many other men have a similar, 'bad time to pop a V' day story? I'm thinking it's a good title to the next best seller.....

    As for the thread:
    I wonder what life would be like if I hadn't woken up at 2:30am, May 30, 1997.

    *smirk*

    My Viagra story isn't true. It was for a cheap laugh, pardon. Good question though. I wonder how many weddings it has delayed. LOL.

    Hey for those who have to, sounds like a good way of getting out of church!

    Yeah I don't know about the book. Sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't want it laying around the house.

    Titles:

    "viagroan"?

    too vague?

    Uhm..

    "this way up"? (with a big arrow to a little blue pill)

    *giggle*

    "a pill too far"?

    "what's up"?

    "pants camping: bad tent"? (with a graphic of a pants tent on its side and people camping around it, one of them holding open the zipper to the tent (which is really the zipper to a very large pair of pants with activated wood inside) and holding their hand over their mouth all big eyed and embarassed looking)

    "viagracide"?

    LOL. okay I'll stop.

    I wonder where we would be if the WTC attacks never happened.

    No war with Afghanistan. We'd never have know who Osama was. No war on terror. The eleventh day of the ninth month would hold no special meaning. The towers would still be there. We wouldn't have bothered with a "Freedom Tower". The Statue of Liberty never would have been closed. We never would have conceived a terror alert indicator. Airline security never would have gone up drastically. The 2001 Oktoberfest never would have been almost cancelled. Bush never would have been given a chance to skrew things up. The schools would have more money.

    This one event made drastic changes in history.

    Where would we be had it not happened?
