    Oooh I love these types of questions.
    After I watched the show Journeyman (which I hope they put out on DVD-it was amazing!), I think I wouldn't change anything, b/c I believe everything happens for a reason,
    and if I changed anything I wouldn't be where I am today and I'm supposed to.

    BUT

    on the other hand, I deeply regret not having children earlier in life and for the most part, I think if I had a do-over I would do that over. Everything else I've accomplished seems meaningless w/o a partner and a family to share it with. I want to be a mother more than anything else in the entire world.

    well then by all means do it!!!!! You do not have to have a husband to have child, it is 2008 and completely acceptable to be a single mom. Don't live your life regretting something that you can easily accomplish. seriously. :D

    as far as me - off the top of my head:
    *I would have gone to Rhode Island School of Design like I wanted
    *I would be an interior designer
    *and I would have lived in NYC for a few years
    *and I wouldn't have married my ex husband ;) but I would still want my fabulous little guy so I guess the 2 sort of go hand in hand....

    Jose - you a dick? I can't imagine :eek:

    I'd have probably stayed in college. That's about it.

    Nothing major I would change. There's just a few things I missed out on that I would like to go back and be able to do, like some concerts I missed and such.

    thanks :)
    I don't want to start a fire storm of debate but expressing my views.
    You do need another party though, I can't do it myself! :D I don't have that person, that's what I meant.


    I don't have the financial means to have or raise a child right now. I don't even have health insurance.

    In keeping with the topic, what I regret is that I didn't do it when I was younger and in a different life situation than I am now.

    Me too.

    A few small things but they are what made me who I am. I think I am stronger for it.... but I am going to stop enabling people.

    I would have waited to get engaged and married. I wanted it so badly, I don't know what I was trying to prove, that I was so grown up, or something.. but I made such a deal over it..

    I totally love my husband, and I DO NOT regret getting married or anything, but I did suffer through a lot of crap to do about the wedding and stuff, and I wish it hadn't been so important to me.

    I also would have dual majored in college if I could have. I spent a year and 1/2 being an Education major, but I went through with the degree in Art. Now I am doing art on the side and trying to be a teacher, but that won't happen till I finish my master's degree in education so I can get certified to teach. Ah, hindsight.

    kinda pointless because it could never happen.

    Don't dwell on past mistakes, just don't repeat them in the future
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    there are several things i'd like to do differently....too many to list :)

    Ditto. Knowing how things will turn out if you make certain decisions would play a huge part in the reshaping of my life as I know it.

    That show that was on the air briefly a few years ago, Do Over (?), had me daydreaming for days on how I would redo things.

    I'd head for the betting office with that long list of longshot winners over the years, tucked in my back pocket. ;)

    I would change many things. However, I would still want to be my son's mother, and I would want him to be exactly the way he is.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    well i too have fucked up royally on more than one occasion, though apparently not as much as you have. and i never think im the village idiot. ;):D anyhoo i would change just one thing and everything else from that moment on would be changed because of it. and i say that without regret or guilt for what it would mean in regards to my life right now.
