    We all have wished that if we had just one more chance to make a decision and COULD HAVE changed things, we would have done something differently. Is there anything that you would have changed in your life if only you could?

    Wow, Minimus, these keep getting better and better man.

    One of my biggest mistakes was resigning from my old job. I miss the people so much, and I even miss the work (!?!)

    It hurts me to remember that place. I had some great times.

    Why did I have to leave ?

    Such is life amigo, tal es vida.

    I would've found a way to have a University education. I would've spent more time with my grandparents, who just passed away. I would've told certain elders to shove a large-print Watchtower up their bums. I would've honed my soul instead of plotting revenge against all who wronged me.

    Lots of stuff I regret, I guess. Everything except my marriage.

    I shoulda thrown that Circuit Overseer down the convention stairs like I wanted to. It would've only been an accident.

    Studying and getting baptized as a JW at the age of 19, I would really like to kick myself for that one. At the time I started studying with the JWs, I was going to college (this was in 1974-75). College was really frowned upon back then, so I dropped out. I could really kick myself for not finishing college.

    I kick myself for not going back to Veterinary Medicine School in 1974 at the University of Minnesota.

    1. Not leaving the Borg sooner.

    2. Not moving out of my parents' house before age 27 (when I got married).

    3. Not getting a college degree.

    4. Not insisting to Big Tex that we buy the dining table carved out of a single freeform piece of mahogany that I found in the rain forest of St. Croix despite the price (he agrees with me now).

    5. Buying the Chevette from my Uncle Spero.

    (a) NEVER buy a Chevette.

    (b) NEVER buy a used car from a Greek used car dealer, even if he is your uncle.

    6. A couple of haircuts that are still too traumatic to discuss.

    How about putting off insurance or getting married or having children for the sake of the good news?
