    I would go back in time before my first husband died and tell him just how much I loved him. He was taken unexpectedly when I was 26.

    I love my life and wouldn't change where I am today.

    i could easily say yes and not marry my ex wife... but then I wouldn't have my son (who is the center of my universe... but don't tell him that... his head is big enough already)...

    So I guess it's yes and tell the girl I fell in love with at eight years old that I actually really did like her (instead of being a jerky 8 year old like I was). and would have told her again when we ended up in the same high school, but I was too shy and geeky to tell her.. I know that sounds crazy... but I found her after 15 years and found out that she is not only beautiful... but a completely wonderful woman... who never married... 'cause she always believed there was 'The One' out there looking for her... Ugh.

    No I don't think so, although having a newborn and finishing high school than going to university in a couple months is hard I wouldn't change any of it because I just love my son so incredibly much! It's all worth it

    I would have tried out for majorette after 9 months of practicing instead of wimping out!


    I'd go back & talk to my grandfather. He died hiking the Appalacian Trail in 1964. I was born in 1966 & have hiked portions of the traul. He did calisthetics every morning & I do Jillian, ellip. or whatever torture my challenge group is putting me through that day. We both love to read (loved to) , have large families (he had 9. Kids I have 6.), & love our faith.

    Historically, I wish I could meet Anastasia Romonov. I've studied a lot of Russian history.

    No.

    My life is full of regrets, and I'd love some do-overs. But I'll be damned if I'd actually take them.

    Goods bads and uglies, this is where I am. And I've got people along for the ride - friends, wife, children. I'd hate to shortchange any of these people by shortchanging the experiences I've already had. They deserve all my goods bad and uglies. As I see it, if I've become better off for my experiences, just imagine how much better off they are.

    My life is what has made me who I am. There has been some effed up *kitten*, but who knows who I would be if it had not happened. I like who I am now. Wouldn't change a thing.

    Yes, back to the time before Firefly was canceled. I'd slap the persons responsible and write some more episodes myself.

    Yes, I would. I was not diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome until I was 30 years old even though my parents knew there was something clearly wrong with me. If I had been diagnosed as a child I would have gotten the help I needed to be able to progress through school. I would now have a college degree and be working a decent job.

    I would love to go back and re-live some of my favorite experiences again. Not change them, just do them again!

    Yes, back to the time before Firefly was canceled. I'd slap the persons responsible and write some more episodes myself.

    Blame Fox for airing the episodes out of order. The problem with the show was that Fox, beginning about halfway through the season, began airing the rest of the episodes totally out of order which ruined plot consistency and made the show seem like had poor writing when it really didn't. Combine this with the fact that they kept switching up the night and that was all she wrote. =/

    As a general rule moving a show to Friday Nights like they did towards the end is the kiss of death. There aren't enough people watching TV on Friday nights to keep the numbers up.

    I would go back in time before I was born. Probably to the 1950s because it just seems like a magical time.

    I made a really bad decision at age 19, and that decision changed everything. I would like to go back to that time, and not make that decision. I think my entire life would be completely different, and better.

    You know I think about if I could go back and prevent my brother from being murdered but other than that maybe I wouldn't. My past however f$*ked up it was has molded me into the person that I am today. Now thats not to say I'm the worldest greatest person,but I don't know if I would want to be something else I like me. All of the losses, hard aches, and success that I've had in my life is because of my past.

    I think we all have moments that we would like to go back and change, and choices we would like to make differently. I just know the place I am now required the road I traveled. So while yes, there are things I would like to have changed...would there even be a chance to have the life that I have now if I did.

    That would depend on several things. I would as long as when i got back i still had my wife and kids, including our daughter who died. If i did go back it would be to prevent myself from being a dumb *kitten* and letting my ex-wife get her way and the house that we got because of my credit and bank account. I would get myself to rethink collage and go for a degree that actually matters, currently have a Masters Degree in a field that i can't get into because of health reasons. I'd stop myself from getting conned out of $5000 by someone who i thought was a friend. I'd find out who it was who broke into my grandmothers farm house and left her for dead after robbing her.

    But like i said only if when i came back i still had my wife and kids. and maybe a job i loved.

    I wouldn't want to cause a tear in the space time continuum, I hear it's bad

    Yes! (As long as I get to come back.) I'd go back to the '30s so I could ride around in some big, long Bentley convertible being driven by some pretty man in a zoot suit, dressed like a flapper & pretending I was Daisy Buchanan!

    I would love to go back and change something, but then who knows....if I messed with one small thing it could change everything and maybe even for the worse!

    I would pretty much redo 75% of all my decisions, no question.

    No, It was hard enough living through it the first time and now I have a good life and have learned alot because of all the stuff I went through. I like my life how it is now

    If I was to go back in time for anything, it would be to start my diet sooner. Other than that, I know that the good as well as the bad is what has made me the person that I am today. And I wouldn't change who I am......
