Re: Regrets?
I certainly agree that it isn't useful to dwell on the past and get caught up in things that are already done and can't be changed.
On the other hand it is foolish to just try to forget them. If nothing else I like to think that I have learned from some of my past mistakes so that I won't repeat them in the future.

Re: Regrets?
No offence but you all kinda sound like a Hallmark greeting.
Don't give me all this usual guff -
"If I hadn't gone through all those things in my life then I wouldn't be the person I am today."
Regrets are healthy, did every single thing that you've ever experienced really have to happen to you in order to make you the person you are now? No. And don't tell me you don't regret calling your cousin a ****bag at your brothers wedding, or that you had to have your car stolen as some sort of rite of passage. Regret not locking it or regret having that 7th pint of beer! Don't tell me you had to experience being felt up by your druken boss at the Christmas party in order to cultivate your now fabulous personality and lifestyle......please........

LOL I was just going to post that. You can't dwell on things...best to move onwards and upwards.

Just the one, but I shan't say...oh, well, not taking a shit in the bosses desk, before I got laid off would be one of them.

Re: Regrets?
I have a few. Choices made at school and during university. Things seemed to have worked out OK though. I have a house, a car, a job, a wife, a bunch of luxuries and a kid on the way. Can't really complain too much when there are so many people with so much less.
