Wondering if other people have things that they Would have done differently in life if you knew then what you know now??
Marriages?
Children?
Work?
Priorities?
Life choices?
Love?
Schooling?
Anything?
I would have gone into the military after high school.
Because I failed to do so, I made mistakes that caused a lifetime of heartache and regret for myself, and many others.

too many regrets. I wished I saved my relationship with my 4th GF in college. She was the one that got away and would have married and settled down with her.
I’m a dog, you see ;)
I would have come to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior much earlier in life. Everything else is irrelevant.
Well, ok. Here goes: instead of TALKING to her in my Uncle’s hay barn about sex, I would have known what to do..
Would have asked my wife out the first time I met her instead of the second. Wasted a good year that way.
Everything else...pretty much the same.
I'm in a good place right now. Every mistake I've ever made has led me here.
Stephdacoccus of ABC news when interviewing Trump before the election asked the same question. Trump replied I know what you regret, donating 75,000 dollars to the hillary campaign, classic Trumpism
I definitely wouldn’t have ordered the chicken salad.
“First off, I wouldn’t live in the same state where we pull our jobs. We’d live in another state. We’d stay clean there and then when we’d take a bank, we’d go into the other state.”
I would have bought 10,000 shares of Apple Stock in 1999.
I would have married her when I had the chance.
I would have traveled abroad and not been so fearful to do things.
________________
I would have stopped making that need for a home so important.
Never trust a woman in matters concerning birth control.
Relating to that, I would be more careful about what sorts of women I had gotten involved with. I have had experiences with women who, if I can say it this way, just weren’t right for me. Yet due to desires and situations, got involved, got in too deep, with people who just weren’t right for me.
Still, I wish I had done more in high school--more active in school activities, more active in sports, and more interest in academics. My lack of preparation led to me dropping out of college the first time, and joining the Navy. But from that experience, I turned my life around, developed life-long friends, made me who I am today.
Gone with my very first impression of my ex-husband. It was not the act but the truth.
I definitely wouldnt have ordered the chicken salad.

Interesting question...good question.I would have studied harder in order to have a more interesting and rewarding career.I would have talked more with my Mom...if I had known she was going to die when I was 22.And many,many,many other things as well.
