    Default Things you wish you would have done differently?

    Anybody have anything they wish they would have done when given the opportunity and didn't?

    i have a list, guns I wish I would have boughten sometime ago, there is a list of people I wish I could turn back time and either apologize to or said to them. I guess hind sight is always 20/20, but who knew I would lose that chance.

    I guess I am having a self reflection night for some reason.

    - Spent more time with my dad before he died.
    - Told my grandparents how much I appreciated them while they could enjoy it.
    - Interviewed my grandparents on videotape about life in the 20s and 30s.
    - Kept my 400 shares of stock in Apple instead of selling it (for $36/share) to buy a car.

    At least you didn't sell your share of the whole company for $800 like Co founder Ronald Wayne did, doh!

    It's probably a safe bet that every one of us wishes we had spent more time with a loved one when they were still alive.

    Seems a couple here agree.
    I do as well - my dad did and insisted I did not.
    But I would've loved to see if I could have made a good marine or maybe a PJ or something....

    I regret current fights I have with alive family. I also regret not being able to get past them, in some cases.

    I don't know about changing things, because there were a couple things done that made me the person I am today.

    -listening to a stock broker talk us out of our investment, costing my parents their retirement and me a nice sum for my bank account
    -take the generator to a better mechanic (a week before it burned the house down)
    -not fill the generator when hot and ran out of gas after only 30 minutes (something clicked in my mind, just didn't act on it)
    -RIGHT DECISION - fought with doctors about getting skin grafts

    Do people who wish they did things differently in the past not like what they are today? I wish sometimes that I never married my ex, but I am very thankful I have my two boys. Oh, philosophy with a cup of coffee

    Sure there are things that I should have done differently but I'm pretty damn happy with where I'm at so it's not something that I dwell on.
