Not calling back that Russian chic who blew me in the Chilli's parking lot.
Regrets?

Outside of the obvious choices with women where you fail to act or maybe shouldn't have acted, mine is not going out for special operations while I was still active in the Marines and in much better shape than I am now. I know I could have made it, but I hold them in such high regard that I felt that I needed to have a certain amount of experience and to heal up from a neck injury before going and I just ended up getting burned out and never pulled the trigger to do it.
I believe God has a plan for all of us though and so I dont feel all that regretful of it as I am on a difficult but rewarding path right now. I did get a taste of it while I was in which took me to some great schools and taught me some invaluable lessons which I am applying now in a new endeavor which helps to ease that itch of wanting the action and fast pace.
I just always felt a yearning for it though so it eats at me to think of what an experience it might have been.

I regret not spending enough time with my mother before she passed away. I was young when she died (22) and looking back I wish I had been around for her more.
It's all ****s and giggles until someone giggles and ****s.
Yes, some funny stuff.
I regret that I haven't won powerball.
Some of these are really good.
I've never had a regret of this caliber, just not dating one girl or not trying something with that girl. Etc

I regret not buying TRW stock back in 2008.
They are an automotive supplier and when GM and Chrysler filed bankruptcy, and people were worried Ford would too, suppliers like TRW stock dropped to $1/share.
I thought about buying 5000 shares, well as the economy and automakers recovered, by 2015 the stock was up to almost $140/share.
That would have made me $700,000 on a $5000 investment.
I still kick myself when I think about it like now as I type this lol.

I have a few simple regrets, chicks I should have gotten to know better, people I should have stayed in touch with, but I only have one regret that bothers me badly. When I was stationed in Sicily I rented a house that had a decent sized and tiered property. The owner left his dog there which was a large GSD and Belgian shepherd cross. Beautiful and friendly dog but this dog slaughtered cats. My wife and I came to the conclusion that the local cat gangs initiation was to make it across my yard. I can't tell you how many half cats, shredded cats, or cat parts I found in the yard. I even saved a few that had been mauled but couldn't make it out. This is all in the first month I'd been in the house.
I had two cats. They stayed in the house or up on the wrap around porch. One morning I was getting ready for my 72 hour shift and went outside to put some stuff in the car. Knowing I had more to bring out I left the downstairs door open and went back upstairs. When I moved to go back out for the second trip I noticed the upstairs door was partially open. My first thought was the cat had gotten out so I went downstairs real quick and looked around. I didn't see the cat but heard something happening in the hedge off to my left. This hedge was up against a tier in the yard so I couldn't see what the dog was doing but I could see where she was. The sun wasn't up yet so all I could tell was that she had something and I thought for sure it was my cat. That and the noises I could hear made me think of all the dead cats and mauled cats I cleaned up in the yard. I dove into the edge of the hedge and started throwing haymakers into the dog trying to get her off my cat. The dog made yelping noises but wouldn't budge. I grabbed her by the throat and dragged her up onto my tier and out of the hedge. I held her back and looked over the tier expecting to see my mauled cat. It wasn't my cat, the dog was having puppies. I had no idea the dog was pregnant, I don't think the owner even knew. I can't tell you how bad I feel about attacking that dog while she was having puppies. That was 22 years ago.
Yeah, I regret the **** out of that mistake.

Like others, what I have done got me where I am today. I enjoy my career, I love my wife, and have a daughter I love. I have a house, nice vehicles, I vacation. I would not risk my wife in changing my past.

hey man, I dont see anything wrong with that. You were protecting with what you thought was your family. She woulda done the same.
She go back to her puppies after?
I wasn't able to go to my grandmother's funeral either, but it was out of my control. I have a lot of woulda, coulda, shouldas on car deals, but oh well. I guess my only regret was not getting a degree. It would have made things a lot easier my life.
Holy shit!
Disclaimer--I am in no way shape or form an animal person. Really don't care about them much (I know-- I'm a dick).
BUT--
That would bother the hell out of me if it were me.
Dammit man! Sorry that happenned to you!
Regrets are pointless. We can all sit here and mull over the past, or we can create a future bright enough to make even the most regrettable actions worthwhile. Being a man of conviction is important when you get older (as I've learned). Own your mistakes, your actions, your flaws, and your doubts... otherwise they will own you.
That's my approach. Cant change what's done so no use regretting it. Put that shit out of your mind and keep moving forward.
