What if.....................

I would request to be born in the same time period as I was born into.

Only change would be to join the military and serve in the 1st Gulf war. That's really my only regret.

I guess just live the boring life I have except I would have punched my FIL out and told him to keep his theving hands away from me.

so would I ... before it was illegal:D

seriously though, I'd have sorted out the spoon fed pablum from the obvious truths of life sooner, and invested my efforts accordingly. perhaps I might have staved off a portion of my bitterness.
cant say as I could have avoided it all though. Some was a birthright. However I know the cards I was dealt versus the ones I've played. its the ones we do to ourselves that sting when recalled
 
Tony,

Er, mabee with US Customs during prohibition down along the river...Some purty wild and wooly times, I hear. ;)


Su Amigo,

I think Willie Nelson said it best...
"I've got a long list of real good reasons, for all the things I've done.....etc., etc.,

And regret is just a memory, written on my brow. And there's nothing I can do about it now."

I wish I had more education. I'd have liked to be good at math and have pursued a PhD in biology. Or not to be good at math and have pursued a PhD in English.

But still, I would have liked to have spent more time outdoors, and more time hunting, too.

I'm very pleased with my life. I have the greatest wife in the world, better than I deserve, a few really good friends, more than decent health for a 63 y/o, all the toys any sane man needs, and a few bucks in the bank.

Well said by "oldbear".... Maybe would have been nice to gunsmithed along side some of the greats at S&W during the 30's to late 50's period or to have been a close friend of Elmer Keith in his heyday.
 
Life

My life has been a great adventure, with all its tears and joys; its successes and its failures;the good days and the bad ones and I would not trade a day of it with anyone.I have known some great guys and gals and some not so great. I have known heros and villians, I have lived in far away lands and broken bread with the tribes. On too many occassions my life has been hanging by a thread only to survive to see another sunrise. At 70 I am me and thankful for it. I would love to do it all over again and not leave one thing out. To me life is the art of learning, each day is a lesson.
 
Delta, I am your age and agree with much you say,----but not all. Have you ever passed a kidney stone? While I have also had much to be thankfull for, there is plenty things I went through I darn sure would bypass! Basicly, my stupidity got me in many bad and tight situations and not me, but Gods grace and protection got me out of them, no thanks to me! I would bypass many uncountable painfull situations and loss`s I had. I went through a extreamly bad divorice, however had I not met my ex my daughter and grand daughters wouldnt exist. Probley I wouldnt have met my new wife so some hard stuff I probley would do again if I had to, to get to the same point I am.
I do belive I would bypass the kidney stones, not flew, drove or rode the times I crashed things, not have dated certain women, stayed out of casino`s at selected times, would have stayed home with a shotgun across my knees durring several burglarys, yeah, there,s plenty occasions I would have passed up! But then again I suppose it would have free`ed me up to make worse mistakes those times elsewhere.
 
I think I would have loved to be a gunsmith. I was so busy after the service just working, I never considered that as a profession. Now, in my mi 60s and a renewed interest in firearms, this would have been the ultimate cake and eating too.
 
I think if God wanted me to be in a different time or place he would have put me there. I have a good life and really have no regrets except that I could never get Jodie no matter how hard I tried.
 
I would not have been diverted from my first career in writing and journalism. Should have gone to New York and never looked back.
 
I got a small inheritance when I turned 18. Had I known then what I know now, I'd have invested it and would have a small fortune now. Other than that, life's been pretty good. ;)
 
I have had a pretty good life,(It got me this far) but often remember what my Dad used to say; "If I had my life to live over, I`d live over a bar"
