If a genie allowed you to go back in time...

Let's say you run into a Genie and the Genie is feeling generous...

Genie: "I will take you back in time, as far back in YOUR lifetime as you like. You will be allowed to inform your former self of 1 thing. BUT, it can't be anything about money."

You: "?"


For me, I'd go back to before my Grandmother died and tell myself to use that camcorder I bought (which I never use(d)) to capture her cooking her spaghetti. The family lost the recipe when she died. That spaghetti was the best goddamn spaghetti EVER!

Edit: I should've been more specific before.[/b]

I'd go back to December 6th 1941 and raise a stink. I'd make sure we didn't get our asses blasted like we did, if I had to man the guns myself.

If it was for personal wealth I would go back and tell myself two words:

Microsoft Stocks.

hehe or something along those lines. Maybe just a number which won a massive lottery winning at a certain time...

What I would tell myself is too personal :) I would not do something I did, that I regret seriously now, yes, it's related to an ex lady of mine :frown:

I would tell myself no to get involved in this rebound relationship with this guy that ended up causing problems temporarily with me and my dad ... no guy is worth the pain my dad went through .. especially THAT guy.

My great aunt, who has been a very big influence on me, died last June rather suddenly and unexpectedly. Even though she was 85, she was still full of life and radiant. I visited her once every 2 months or so, and I was waiting for the kids to get out of school for the summer to visit more often.

I did take the kids to see her 2 weeks before she died, but I didn't stay very long. I can still see her face as she waved goodbye.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to that day and stay one more half hour. I will always regret being in a hurry that day.

I'd go back about 2 years and tell myself to get the balls to ask a certain girl out, and tell myself that my dad would be dying soon.

I would warn myself about a girl who put me so far in debt, that it took me 3 years to shake it. And also three words Home Depot Stocks

I would like to go back to 9 months and 3 weeks before my ex-wife was born so that I can kick the sh!t out of her father.

there are so many sins that I would like to never have committed but even those God has used for my good so I think I would want to be at either the birth of Christ or at the creation. Or maybe at His ascention(sp).

I would go back to when I was 15 and tell myself to not become friends with this one dude who was a REALLY bad influence.

I realized he was trouble after a while but was to nice to just cut him off

I wish I never met this guy

This might sound corny, but I wouldn't want to change anything. There are things I regret having done, but the person I am today is the sum of my life experiences, good and bad. And I rather like who I am.



Because I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggonnit, people like me. ;)

I would go back to elementary school days and put something back that I took from someone that has and always will weigh heavily on my conscience.......
