This was my father’s watch. It reminds me how much I regret we didn’t have a better relationship. He’s been gone three years now and I’ll carry that regret to my own grave.
This box is a constant reminder that I regret not saving money instead of spending it unwisely. I got the little carved soapstone lion that’s on top of the box at least 15 years ago at Disney World, which was the last time I was on vacation. A reminder that I regret not taking vacation, which is somewhat related to the first regret.
Though this is one of my favorite ties, it reminds me that most of my regrets have to do with time -
Not enough time
Mismanaging time
Running out of time
Losing people before their time, or
Stuff happening at the wrong time
There are things IN there I don’t regret - French pastry, English cheese, quality meats, and fine wines. But there’s way too much junk food, boredom eating, and especially - midnight snacks.
I do not regret the first 12 years but the last 14 have been Hell.
Been asking him to leave for years.
Found a paper trail to the ultimate deceit and betrayal, a week ago today. Immediate expulsion from the house, great for me, just the act hurt.
Dumb fuck already wants back in, ewww.
No, I have waited too long!
@Calabama record yourself getting drunk and ranting about tangentially related things while demanding people you kinda know from the internet post pictures that fit vague clues. It’s helped me :p
@Seeds I could try but I have not been drunk since I was about your age! Vid would have many negative/vulgar, expletives! I watched your vid. Not all women cheat, you will find a woman that will not. I never thought about it, no matter how I felt. I hope you do, you are so cute and funny. So much going for you.
@cinoclav Yes, I still believe I could! I married pretty late in life, thought I found it. Late in life loves can be super sweet. I would like someone to reciprocate all this love I have to give. All I have been denied.
@Calabama I haven’t found that people here mind vulgarity :p I know, there are plenty of great women in the world, and I’ll find one. I’m sure you’ll find a great guy too
if you do make a video, post it on meh! I’d love to see.
@OldCatLady The house is so peaceful. My heart has been really heavy, especially the last two years. I have not had that hopeless feeling this last week. He had the nerve to ask, do you want me to leave? I plan to move away and never see him again. My son is good with that. He has talked for years, he will take my maiden name and me too, real soon!
@mikibell@RiotDemon i still regret my dress: the style was great but i was young and thought “has to be white” even though they had it in ivory that went better with my very pale skin.
But 26 years in and still happy with the guy.
@mollama@RiotDemon mine was “candlelight”, a soft ivory…and I eschewed the “it has to be white”, much to my mother’s dismay!
Course I had chocolate ants climbing my wedding cake, because things “had to be done the right way” …my way
does this thread count?

Meow?
I don’t smoke any more, but I sure do have some regret over ever starting it up.
These cookies I brought to work for everyone else but have eaten half of …
@moonhat I certainly wouldn’t regret the price. Sixteen bakery cookies for $3.49 is pretty damn good.
@cinoclav that’s true!

I deeply regret that winning is way out of reach for me and has been for days now. Seeing this reminds me of my abject failure.
@curtise Haha, We coulda been a contenda!
@curtise it might not be. sorry I’m so behind on points. I’ll do some of those now.
@curtise sorry, i lied. I’m too tired to deal with this right now. Later though, for real, so we see where we’re at before the last day.
@Seeds Sweet dreams!
@curtise Thanks! I hope you dream about mountain streams and fresh blueberries.
@curtise @Seeds Don’t bother with the points. It’s been won now for awhile. We don’t need to see how badly we lost.
@curtise @metaphore No, I can’t let the tedium beat me.
@curtise @metaphore @Seeds Not to mention, it’s still a race to the finish. There’s no sure winner as far as my quick calculations figure.

@cinoclav ok, I guess one person still had a chance to tie with you. If you don’t post tomorrow.

I’m just surprised that no one has yet posted a wedding picture!
(BTW, I don’t regret mine.)
I regret that I do not use my gym membership as much as I should.

I want to star every post, I think most of us share these regrets, and each of you posted great images/thoughts.
But on the other side, take strategy 1 from this article:
https://amp.thekitchn.com/great-british-bake-off-is-a-lesson-on-social-anxiety-257043
all the lessons work for everyone, not just social anxious people.
@mollama It’s only a cake. My new mantra.
Which then proceeds to:
signed, @mfladd
{VMod edit: fixed.}
@mfladd broken image AND no username? Unforgivable.
@mfladd @Seeds He can always change it. I’m thinking ‘yourself’ is actually a pretty cool username.
@Seeds which image is broken? I still see both.
@mfladd first one is access denied for me (and I assume everyone else here)
@mfladd @Seeds Yah. I can’t see the first one either.
@cinoclav @Seeds ok, thks. This better? @narfcake can you fix above with this? Thks.
@cinoclav @mfladd @narfcake that one works
@mfladd @Seeds I regret waiting for those words of wisdom. (Nah, not really.)

@Calabama record yourself getting drunk and ranting about tangentially related things while demanding people you kinda know from the internet post pictures that fit vague clues. It’s helped me :p
@Calabama On the bright side, at least you still have time to make yourself happy again!
@Calabama Good for you, even though it took a harsh discovery. We have your back. Change the locks!

@Calabama @OldCatLady that sounds like good healthy moves! We are rooting for you here! We are with you!!
@moonhat @OldCatLady It did put me off one day. I FORGOT TO PUSH MY MEH BUTTON, Thursday!
@Calabama @moonhat @OldCatLady Fuck 'im.
@Seeds No, thank you. LMFAO!
@Calabama lol
I don’t necessarily regret getting married. I do regret that I can’t wear this beautiful dress again.
Just for shits and giggles, here a photo of me in it. It’s got a corset back and really my ideal dress. Wasted on an idiot.
@RiotDemon aw, you do look great in it.
@RiotDemon Beautiful dress and you look wonderful! Always wanted a wedding, courthouse.
@Calabama @Seeds thanks guys.
@RiotDemon You are gorgeous! Did you bustle that? I imagine it would be difficult to dance in, otherwise.
@mikibell yeah, I added the bustle buttons myself the night before the wedding, in tears. Great omen, lol
@RiotDemon you just made me look at my wedding photos… I loved my dress… (And boots!)…sigh…so long ago!
@mikibell @RiotDemon i still regret my dress: the style was great but i was young and thought “has to be white” even though they had it in ivory that went better with my very pale skin.
But 26 years in and still happy with the guy.

@mikibell @mollama I was looking at dresses last night. If I ever got married again, I don’t think I’d go traditional. Just look at this purple!
Surprised no one has gone here yet.
@djslack I like the liquor bag evidencing your attempting to drink away the shame and regret.
@therealjrn wine bag (sounds classier) has been my name homie most of the month. But I like the way you think.
@djslack There was literally nothing to regret about that purchase for me. I even did it a second time!
Did I win yet?
@medz
/giphy negatory, good buddy.
@medz ok, that isn’t even the most fitting giphy I got, but I have to keep it. Too cute.
Most of them have faded, but you can still see a couple of my self-inflicted scars:
@arielleslie without the https
@Seeds Thanks
@arielleslie np. both should load for everyone now.
I regret not keeping better in touch with some of my friends. But that’s something I can fix.
I also regret not coming up with something better for this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
closed.
congrats @cinoclav on most votes.
@mehcuda67 @Calabama @RiotDemon all made me a little sad, so I asked random thing picker.
Congrats @RiotDemon
