On the lighter side..the little things we regret

Ok so from day to day there are little things which strikes us as a small regret and we wish we could take it back...Im not talking those big ones that keep you up at night but the little tiny things...like


I regret, giving my email to Pottery Barn and Bombay Company as they now spam me everyday.


I regret perming my hair back in 89 when I was 16, because it meant that for the next year I looked like a poodle.

Yeah bad hair year. :p and let's not even mention the eyebrows...

What do you regret....

That looks like pretty regular 1989 hair! :D

I regret teaching my 13yr old how to drive my car around the yard earlier this year. At the time, it was a great mom/daughter moment. Now she's 14 and literally counting the days until she's 15 and can get her permit! LOL

Why oh why did I start that ball rolling?! :Thud:

I seriously regret having left the Middle East and settled in Europe. I was much happier there :(

I also regret for having been such an airhead and not taken my admission to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena seriously when my father was more than happy to pay for it. spoiled brat !! FOOL !!!!:mad::mad: grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ok enough self-bashing for today.

I liiike the poodle hair strwbrries :bgrin2: looked better when you trimmed the ears a bit :p

Awwww Strwbrries....you were beautiful! Those are great pictures! Thank you for sharing them.

I regret not crating my doggie (we adopted him from a shelter in April) because he's tinkled all over my house. I'm in the process of steam cleaning my carpet right now.

The vet said he's 3-4 years old and he was never neutered. I'm going to have it done and hopefully that will stop him from doing it.

Other than that he's the best dog in the world (he's a ****apoo). He's so sweet and loving. I want to kill him for peeing but I can't stay mad at him. He's so good and cute....

Here's Reilly....

hahahahaha! The software deleted part of the word that says what type of dog he is....I forgot about that....I have been gone awhile.

I regret not staying with my brother longer the day he died..and not staying with him till the end...knowing he was going to die that night. He said meri I wanna go home I said I know you do babyboy he says You do not understand I want to go home..Right there I knew what that meant. He told me to take the kids home and celebrate Beckys (my daughter) 12th Birthday. As we walked out the door she said she would save him some cake and I said Goodbye my sweet boy..He said no crying sis..remember Don't say goodbye say I will see you soon..So I said Okay babyboy...see you soon I kissed him and we left..That night at 1:08 am on June 17 of 1997 My babybrother of 20 died of heart cancer. We lost him with in 2 weeks
I wrote a song for him which we are putting music to and one day i will post it here...even 10 years later this is a rough thing for me..The name of the song is titled *Don't say goodbye..say I'll see you soon.

Just so you know we buried him with a piece of that birthday cake:)

PS I know you said it lighter but not much that i regret now just that...WAIT I regret that I forget to buy extra tp at the end of the month GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate dried LEAVES!

Love you Derek...(to see this pic just hit open:)

I love the pics, Strwbrries. My hair looks like that allll the time...lol...

I regret not getting two dogs when i got my last one. She would have enjoyed the company to grow up with, I think, and its too late now because shes the boss and set in her ways.

I regret not taking a job in Maine when i could have. I hate the heat and humidity in Jersey.

I regret choosing the contractor i did, to do the work on my house. Hes dragging it out way too long, and i regret that i signed a contract which says if i take him to court, i have to also pay for HIS legal fees :rolleyes:

Even those these sound like big regrets, i really dont beat myself up over them. I'm done with all that ****.

I regret not blow drying my hair this morning as my hair is now out of control!!:eek:

I regret every buying my house (o.k. thats not really a 'little' regret, but still), I miss how nice it was to rent!

I'm so sorry for your loss, GG.

My father died of cancer in 1995. The last time I saw him I couldn't say goodbye, so I said "The next time we see each other will be happier times."

I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!! I regret marrying my ex and I regret running over the broken glass with my car that gave them 4 flats!

LOL my mum bless her heart even though it was hard to let her go she said Ya know the next time I see ya I will be naked!! ROFL!

That's so funny! She must have had a wonderful sense of humor. I'll probably say something silly and wacky like that to my kids. I don't want them to cry or be sad.

OMG!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard I snorted!!!! How cute!

I regret marrying my X also. I sometimes regret dyeing my hair blonde. I also regret the bag of popcorn I just ate!

I regret not spending more time with my Dad the day before he died, but I am thankful for the time I spent with him that day. He was unable to eat due to stomach cancer (had spread from his colon), and the rest of the family was angry at him for not trying to eat...so they didn't go see him at all. I would hate to live with the guilt of that.:(

wow my first post was almost the same.except i have the guilt still..ITS BETTER and I am letting it go finally...HUGS and I am sorry also :(

Awwww.....Grumpysgirl, your post about your Bro was a tearjerker!!! :( I haven't had anyone close to me die yet, and I can't imagine what its like!

I don't regret anything, I know I'm still young but I live my life so I don't regret anything...there are some things I would do differently or not again but I do not regret them, they happened for a reason and are parts of the person I am today!

I sincerely regret being a completely soft-hearted, naiive pushover for the first 40 years of my life - but I'm making up for it, believe it!!! :bgrin2:

I regret not sleeping early last night, now I will have t o be content with 10 hours sleep insteas of 12 :(

Awwww.....Grumpysgirl, your post about your Bro was a tearjerker!!! :( I haven't had anyone close to me die yet, and I can't imagine what its like!

Thank you..I will one day post that song for you all

I regret having lived my life thus far at such a slow pace, being overly risk-averse and passing up opportunities. I hope I live long, as I have decades of lost time to make up for.:(

On the lighter side, I regret ever having signed up on Classmates.com--I get a piece of junk e-mail from them every other day, anyway.

i was gonna say that there's not enough bandwidth to cover my daily regrettable shining moments.



but then......


i saw angel's post.


and it reminded me......until the day one of us is DRT (dead right there) i'll regret THIS......

Ya know Dave I did the same thing and came to realize WHY I hated highschool ROFL!

I regret marrying my ex. I regret meeting and being involved with my exym just as much...some days even more...even the ex knew when to take a hint after a while...I regret lots of stuff...most of it not repeatable in public.

You will see him again someday......you both loved each other very much.....your words totally consumed my heart this morning Meri.

Much love you,
sora

First off Grumpysgirls (((hugs))) and to everyone who has lost a loved one :bighug:

Do I really look like your friend Jolie? lol Ask her if she got called joker for her big smile the way I did. :p


Thank you to the ladies that liked my hair back in 89 lol the check is in the mail.;)


You know greeneyedgirl that dog and Angel's dog look really sweet...what are they like mini cujos?

Jellybean cant your dog have a companion? Wouldnt he just be the alpha dog in his pack?


I thought of another little regret...I regret turning down an all expense paid trip to Australia when I was 18, because I didnt want to leave my boyfriend(now exhb) for two weeks. DOH!:rolleyes:

I, too, regret every allowing my 13-year-old son to attempt to drive my car. He now asks me literally every time we are in the car "Can I drive?". (We live in a little town with lots of dirt roads).

I regret selling my Camaro for a "family car". Ouch, it still hurts.

I regret the day I said out loud for everyone to hear "I don't think I will ever have a problem with my weight". LOL

I don't regret buying my house, but I regret moving into town that is 35 miles from the nearest store, and I regret that the car we bought for me to get to that store was a Chevy Cavalier because it "has 4 doors and gets good gas mileage".

I also regret allowing my b/f to change the brake pads on said Cavalier, as he got so frustrate he punched the car and now the passenger door does not open. What a...ummm....bonehead. :rolleyes:

I regret running over that muffler last year...resulting in two flat tires. Tires that didn't even have 500 miles on them. Didn't have time to run the "goody" off of 'em...

Speaking of cars, in addition to the regular ride (an SUV), I've got a SWEET 1989 Firebird. Needs a little work but it's all original and the body's in great shape.

Currently, I regret staying up till 2 am last night playing Bioshock.

I also regret going out to ask my exhusband to please keep a watchful eye on the kids since they are going a waterpark and my girls cant swim well because I was called a dumb *** for asking.

Which lead to an arguement..which had him calling me more names...grrrr....I hope his current girlfriend gives him .....crabs. :bgrin2:

Speaking of cars, this is kind of a regret for someone else, lol...

I regret that my husband bought a BMW 325i before we got married. We just tried to fit a baby seat in it the other night and the news is not good. Because we're planning to move back to the USA soon we're really not intending to buy a new car here so I guess we'll have to figure something out. At least it has four doors...

He regrets not buying the 5 or 7 series BMW but chose the 3 series b/c it had the best engine...scuse me while I go throw something at him and his engine.

You will see him again someday......you both loved each other very much.....your words totally consumed my heart this morning Meri.

Much love you,
sora

thank you and thanks to all for your beautiful kind words...love you all!

I regret not becoming fluent in Spanish. I lived in southern California and took four years and my Spanish teacher told me I really had it down and advised me to go live somewhere for six months where I would be forced to use it. We lived about an hour from Mexico and I'm sure if I'd needed someone to stay with or some sort of an internship there, I could have found it. But I didn't heed the advice and now at my age, I think its going to be impossible to learn over again.

:(

The biggest fear I had was when I found myself really falling for adam, i remember the night he stood at my car window, telling me that for the rest of my life I would regret not taking the chance on him.

I drove home stunned, somehow in my core I felt the dread of knowing he was right, It was that night that I began many nights of dealing with the fact that I was falling in love with him.

The bravest thing this shrinking voilet ever did was take a chance on him.

It was totally out of character and the best choice I could have ever made.

I am totally in love with my husband, I cant believe I am saying that but he does it for me.

I never had this before and the fact it came so late in life is very surprizing to say the least.

NOW! what do I regret for real..... I regret NOT MOVING WHEN I COULD HAVE!!! South FLorida has a good share of stresses and problems of late, namely our property taxes and insurances, the hurricanes (no fun) and the crime that seems to be on the rise. I had the chance to get out and didnt, adam was overseas in the army and I wanted to have him home to make the move, sooooo, I reget not getting out when I could have. But, now we are making the most of it and getting on with our life!!!

So I stayed up last night, stayed up till 2 am doing the ONE thing we all know we shouldnt do...thinking about my fiances ex. I dont know why she popped into my head but there she stayed.

I dont know WHY she bothers me but she does, he doesnt love her and never really did and the fact that she turned into a big druggy turns his stomach, so its not him.

It's me.

I think women do this more often than men do, we wonder about the lovers that came before us and wonder.

So my regret for today, is staying up late last night and wondering, when I should of just put my arms around my fiance and slept.
