If you could reconsider your life, what would you change?

I can’t go there these days.

@janbb It tasks me to think of such things and I do it anyway.

I would have entered the bodybuilding contest to represent my base when asked, instead of having my nose out of joint; preventing me from the experience. Female body builders were just gaining momentum nationally. I could have kicked Rachel’s arse!

I’d have finished my education and been a large animal vet instead of getting married at age 21. Advanced zoology should have made me aware of the risks of marrying an incompatible species. Thank God my DNA trumped in the offsrping. lol

@talljasperman I would have finished high school in Jasper and taken a forth year in school… then taken summer school in Edmonton and gone directly into university… I would have met the ‘girl who got away” , in my forth year and since she likes older men… the universe would have been different for me.

I would stop being stupid.

I would not have sold all those vinyl record albums and 8 tracks I had back then. They are worth a small fortune nowadays.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I had vintage marbles back in the sixties. nowadays they go for thousands each. I had my dad’s collection, depression era, some were older. Sometimes think about going back and sifting some dirt.

“I would not have sold all those vinyl record albums…. They are worth a small fortune nowadays.”

I have quite a few licorice pizzas.

I’d sure like to know who would be willing to pay that much money for them, because I could definitely use the Benjamins.

Would have believed in myself and abilities more. Selling yourself short is one thing but not placing an once of value on yourself is a totally different thing, pretty soon you see yourself buried and out of touch with reality. Humbleness and humility are great qualities but used wrongly due to a lack of confidence, they soon lead you to servitude and complete and utter
“devaluation”. A bit of vanity, spunk and a slightly(not too much) high ego never really hurt anyone!

So, so much.

@Cruiser @Brian1946 I did keep a ton of records from my parents. Two years ago I thought I’d sell them for ‘big cash’ and went to three different second hand music shops. Not a single one of them would even take them from me for free. They had entire walls of them already. There was only one sleeve that interested them… A very young, naked girl was on the cover. They said it was a collectible, but that’s it. Maybe you had more interesting records than I did, but I don’t know where they are ‘valuable.’

I would have gone into emergency medicine a lot sooner. My college years were wasted on a worthless degree.

@GloPro I guess I had a unique musical tastes as most of my records are selling from $8—$40.00 on E-bay. Even at an average of $10.00 each x 300 would get me a nice weeks vacation on a Florida beach which I could go for right about now.

I would have still joined the military, but only for 4 years. It was a great stepping stone but anything more than that was a mistake lol.

@GloPro @Cruiser

Thanks for your input.

Apparently for sellers, eBay > second hand shops.

So far, I would reconsider how many times I’ve kept my mouth shut when I should have opened it and at least voiced my opinion.
Also, wish I’d eaten less when I was younger, and not eaten so much junk food.
