Back to July 1979 to spend one month with my father before he died in August.

Just two changes.
1) Take up the piano as offered in 1971.
2) Get a vasectomy as soon as I was 18.

Not so dramatic. Sometime next week and get the winning PowerBall numbers.

The early 60's, pre- Beatles and pre-Viet Nam. It was a better time to live.
Some day in 1965. High school girls LOL. Or June 7th 1972 the day after I got out of the USMC and walked away from the computer programming they taught me. Could have been a ground floor guy on the computer rage. But, actually as I look back at my life and the things I could have done different I wouldn't change much. Lots of lumps and hard lessons, but, they helped make me who I am today and I like who I am today. Plus, I have seen some interesting things in my vagabond times.

I'm with ATF on this. I'd like to go back to my early years, maybe as a toddler-late 1940s perhaps. The early 1950s would be okay, too.
And have a complete do-over of my life. I am sort of surprised at all the "no regrets" most of you have posted.
Me? Lot of regrets, lots of hurtful things I shouldn't have said, lots of hurtful things I shouldn't have done.
And, you can't take those things back. So, I'd like a do-over.
But, since I know I won't get one, I live my life now trying very hard to think before I speak or act.
I'm not always successful, but I try to be the person I think I would be if I could have a do-over.

I should have married the woman that I was engaged to circa 98 to 2000. That was my fault.

Not sure... I could go back and prevent my m/c accident. But then I would probably not have met my wife... it's a dilemma....
I'd go back to April 19, 2008. It was a Saturday, and I had drawn the short straw to have to go in to work on that weekend day.
My mother was then almost 96, living in an assisted-living home. I had planned to go and see her early that day, but I then had to plan do so after I got off work at 3:00 PM.
While I was at work, shortly after noon, I got a phone call from my wife that my mother had died, alone in her bed.
Had I not had to work, I would have gone to see her earlier in the day, realized she was in the process of dying, and been with her when she passed. It has been one of the few regrets in my life.
