Walk away. More than once in my life, if I could have a do-over of certain days, I'd walk away from some situations.

Mark Twain well knew this feeling of yours, when he said, "Never wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it."

You know, Paul, you ask the most interesting questions.

Just one day? How would I be able to pick it? What criteria should I use? I'm not sure I could ever make the choice. So, if was given the option of reliving just one day from my much younger years, I'd have to pass. I think trying to make the perfect choice would drive me mad. :)

Just ONE day; I shan't tell you what I had in mind.........

Ohhhh. Of course I could be wrong ... but then there is a trend to the way your mind works. :)

My great grandfather was almost eighty, when I was born, so he died when I was fifteen. He was in his mid-nineties when he died. Grandpa kept walnuts in a bin, around the back of the old wrap around porch. If we kids brought him the walnuts, he would crack them for us. The treat wasn't the walnuts, it was getting to spend time with him.

Paul, I very sure know what you are thinking to be doing in your younger years because that's what maybe in my mind too.

This is a cool question - you know how to think of them Paul.

I'd go way way way way back - to the junior year in high school. Yep! I wanted to go to the prom with Ken and knew he would ask but it was still over two months before the junior prom. I was asked by Ronald, his best friend at lunch. Later, just before dismissal, I was asked by Ken too. I had told both I needed a couple of days. I full-well decided I'd go with Ken but thought I'd ask my mother. She didn't give me the answer I was hoping for - she said that it was only fair I go with the first person that asked me. Darn, that's what I did. I went with Ronald and blew off Ken because he asked second. I ended up marrying Ronald. We lasted 13 years as a couple and I have my 2 kids with him. How might it have been different if I could do that again - about the only reason I would repeat that same decision is if that's the only way I could have my two children again.

Children come through us, not from us; you would have had the same children in your life, just in different bodies.

I, too, was thinking along the same lines, romantic thoughts of angst...

Well, I think you know what you're talking about. I'll go back and make a different decision and try it that way.

Hey thanks for the BA
