Augie Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I’ve always said I wouldn’t change a thing, other than if I had hurt someone. I never meant to hurt anyone else, knowingly or otherwise. I’m sure I did and I regret any time that happened. Also, if I had done anything differently, I might not be where I am today, which is blessed in many ways. NOW, based on these new rules.....I passed on way too many girls in college who were not just “maybe’s”, but I passed on some great girls for what I thought at the time were good reasons. As they say, you regret the things you DON’T do more than the things you DO do. This is apparently a common theme. Beyond that....Apple (I’ve always thought of myself as Forrest Gump-like), Google, Amazon and the usual cast of characters.
snafu Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I'd pull a Biff Tannen and make loads on sports betting -- but I'd act like me, and not like Biff Tannen.

B) I wouldn't have sold weed my senior year of high school. Ended up getting suspended for 2 weeks, barred from all school functions, the prom, lost my driving privelages, and had to ride the bus my senior year, had to tuck in my shirt for the rest of the year. C) On the bright side they never called the cops and I wasn't going to Harvard anyway so it really had no bearing on my academic future. A) You could have been Travis Henry’s role model! B) At the very least, you shouldn’t have gotten caught! C) I went to Harvard. You walk around for a little while, check out the geeks, maybe hit the bookstore to get out of the heat or cold outside. Other than that it seemed overrated.

As to "C", nice part of town to visit.
DC Tom Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I would have put far less effort into trying to please other people. (Yes, I'm basically saying I would have acted more like I do now.) 1
row_33 Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Would have been kinder to teammates and classmates who were raised in lousy homes

Golden Goat Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I would have enjoyed the ride instead of obsessing over the destination. Edited July 4, 2018 by Golden Goat

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I couldn’t have gotten any higher unless I toked in the men’s room. What more is there at 16
John from Riverside Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I’d have nailed chicks that were totally giving me signs that I was not seeing and staying away from them because of shyness there are a couple of bullies I would like to go back and deal with now that I know they were just trying to dominate me for fear of me finding my balls and destroying them for the cowards they actually were
Boca BIlls Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Would have been less of a drunk to screw a few women I kind of left behind at parties. 1
Another Fan Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Enjoy life more. Got brainwashed into thinking how important grades, SAT scores, and colleges were to my future. Like those years will affect your life’s outcome

Used to be you could make a good living as a craftsman, etc. but it is so hard to find such a job that is more than a lot of hours with minimal pay in current times. I wished that I was more serious about something such as law school in my youth but it seemed like a lot of investment just to come back home and do closings on real estate transfers.
