My tee shot on hole number 2 at Northwoods Golf course in Rhinelander WI in 1998.

Nothing, cause when I'm thinking about it, everything could have been way worse from what I've started with (my choice or not). Sometimes I just feel very very very lucky.

I was originally going to say that I would never have been baptized... but then upon thinking a bit more, I realized my baptism was merely a link in long chain of events that began with the following event, which I would definitely do over:

My family never would have moved away from the city where I was born. Once we moved, my parents were easy pickin's for the JWs - normally they never would have given them a second thought - but the transitional year after moving made them vulnerable.

Wouldn't have started dating a certain guy. Screwed up alot of people's lives, now impossible to repair.

Ha ha!

Do over!

It means to beat someone up over here, ie, shut up or I shall DO YOU OVER.

All in all, I think I've done a great job fixing up the crap in my life. Any decisions I've made have been good ones, and I don't regret any of them..... except one...... and it's such a small thing...... and it wouldn't have impacted my life much.....

When I was in grade 12, me and this girl were interested in each other. I worked on persuing her, and got her phone number. She was all shy and stuff, but just a sweetie! So, I tried calling her, but her mother spoke to me. She told me that her daughter couldn't go out. Damn! Okay, okay, I'm not giving up! I called a few weeks later and her dad picked up. He invited me over so he could kick my ass. WTF??? I didn't go. I didn't have the balls to. I should've gone. I've grown a pair since then, and if that were to happen today, I would have said, "Okay, see you in 15!"

Just an interesting afterfact, she recently signed my guestbook on my website.

Terry.....Have you seen the Butterfly Effect?

I have thought about this various times and do have specific things I would like to do over but would not want to take the risk of not having the daughter I have now, I might still have kids if I changed my past but it would not be my BBgun.

Guess I'm damned, if I could change one thing that possibly would not rewrite all my history I would change an event which happened when I was sixteen, I injured my left wrist and have had several surgeries over the years but have had chronic pain almost constantly since then.

Do overs? Nah, I am who I am today because of my experiences. And I happen to like myself very much these days. Though there was a time when that wasn't true.

I do, however, have 4 major regrets in life In order of importance

#1 That I allowed my parents to talk me out of going back to school after my sophomore year HS (because I had enough education to go into the ministry, pioneer or find a husband and be a wife). Hard to resist when they bribe you with a car.

#2 That I didn't back out of marrying that fine upstanding JW boy when I was 18 and began to see his BS and the BS in his congregation.

#3 The way I left my last husband (btw, he was husband #3). He deserved better, but I was intent on breaking the marriage.

#4 Marrying husband #2 because my folks said if I got married (hadn't even met him yet) that they could have more to do with me because I was no longer "sinning". It had a more subtle effect on me than I realized. Poor guy. He got clean sober over it, though.

Would I change any of them? No. I don't think so, except maybe continuing on in school. But, with the Butterfly Effect I might be someone entirely different.... we'll never know, will we?

Only one thing...I would never have started smoking. A purely rebellious act that now has become a disgusting habit.
