Newarcher Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 This ought to be fun.....what is it? I guess (other than joining this forum ) it would have to be a tie: 1) Getting married too early before I really decided what I wanted in a career and personally. I would have bought some land to hunt and paid it off. p.s. I am still married, happily, to the same woman--I would have just waited a little longer to get some things I wanted. 2) Hurrying through college. I burnt out quickly but kept going so that I could get married sooner. I learned it but not as in-depth as I ever could have. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... first few years of college I didn't really know what I wanted to major in. Just floated around and because of that focused on other things and had to much fun. If I could do it all over, I'd just go to a community college and got some of the english and math out of the way and saved some money. Figured out what I wanted to do and then transfer to a 4-year school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Oh yeah, there was the affair.

huntn4bucks Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Good question. I don't know if I would categorize it as a mistake but I would have pursued my college football opportunities a little better. I was heavily recruited by the University of Southern Mississippi and decided not to go there anticipating signing a scholarship with Auburn. Well as it turned out, Auburn decided they didn't need me and I had turned down the offer from USM. I ended up playing a couple of years at a Division II college (University of North Alabama) but often wonder how things would have turned out if I had gone to USM.

Gator Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Getting married right out of high school. Not doing my military time a little differently, I would still be in most likely, and 5 years from retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Hmmm... Getting married young and everything that goes with it would be up there. But I would say missing a monster buck 6-7 years ago takes the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Read my above post "Ever do this" No my biggest mistake was getting engaged to some girl (not my wife) when I was way to young. She was too full of herself and didn't like my family...they were not good enough. Not perfect enough...you know. She thought she was super hot. I dumped her. Best part about it is she's a bit on the "overfed side now!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... Quitting baseball my senior year. I was tired of practicing before and after school and wanted to hang out with my friends and chase women, which I had never had the opportunity to do because I was always practicing for something. I'd probably still be playing. I still have a desire to play, but such is life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griz Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... [ QUOTE ] duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Never ever marry someone that is begging you to marry them. This goes for men and women. Saw it happen to a woman then it happened to me. Funny how the harlot gene does not manifest itself phenotypically until after you wed. 3.5 years, not long enough to find that out. Getting married was the dumbest thing I ever did period. No woman my WHOLE life had wanted anything to do with me. I was dumb enough to think this one was the ONE. Wrong!!!!!!!!!! Got used Big Time. At least I'm wiser now, if another woman wants anything to do with me all I have to do is ask the following questions: 1. are you blind?? 2. no, when was the last time you went to the eye doctor? 3. are you that desperate? 4. did you smoke that much crack for breakfast? 5. how many kegs did you float for lunch? trusting another human, that was my biggest mistake....wide is the path that leads to destruction...your odds are right there...NOT GOOD [/ QUOTE ] LMBO...

markyj987 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: Biggest mistake you made in your life....... New...are you looking for my list alphabetically, chronologically, or in order of importance? LOL Chronologically would probably be best... Taking for granted the great little town I grew up in Starting smoking Not playing high school football Not playing high school baseball until my junior year Blowing off my senior year in high school--when I had a serious chance of being valedictorian. drinking my way out of college drinking my way out of college drinking my way out of college Moved to Milwaukee Stayed in first relationship out of pity Lost touch with friends (see previous mistake--she hated them) Stayed in second relationship out of pity Lost touch with friends (see previous mistake--she hated them) It's funny though...how at some point, things in your life just start to come together--and you start making good decisions because of the lessons you learned.
