Well. For starters I would go back in time and not grab the rigging/ropes in the great tree trimming event that took place in our yard a mere 1.5 months ago….

Then, poof, no mangled hands or scars.

That sounds like a painful tree cutting event

Scars give you character.

tocutetolive90's avatar

They also remind you off past lessons you have learned.

Snoopy's avatar

Indeed. I would just rather have them somewhere slightly more private than wrapping around the top of my hand and down my forearm like a snake.

Hopefully they will fade.

Ya that would be nice if must scars just went somewhere where no one could see them. You might be able to find some medications or something that will make the scars less noticeable.

To answer the question, YES!

I would change the time that I went into the men’s bathroom thinking it was the women’s and without noticing the men in there said out loud “why are there urinals in here?”. It was then I looked up and realized where I was.

I would go back to 2003 and save more money (back when we were making a lot more) in preparation for the shit storm we are in now.

I will go back five minutes ago and skip this question instead of keeping thinking what I will change and couldn’t decide what that is.

it would be when i was 17. i would have never left home so soon knowing now what i didn’t know then. that would have made a big differance i believe.

@crprevite Isn’t that the truth?! Same here, that is why my husband is working 2000 miles away.
@lyz My Mom and I did the same thing. Walking and yakking wandered into a campground restroom, then stood there momentarilary stunned at the sight of the urinals. We shot back out the door just as a large family camped across the road burst into raucous laughter.

@soapchef. thank you for sharing the link. very cool.

@soapchef & lynz I was on a payphone in a bathroom when a guy walked in..
“You’re in the wrong bathroom” I said
“No you are”. He said.

The urinals proved he was right. Oops.

“Gotta go”. Off phone. Out door.

I would go back 8 years, and hold on tight to the man I let go of. :-(

SoapChef's avatar
