You would hear me screaming all the way from here if that had happened to me!.
I'll have to have a think and come back?

l had my son dig through the basement for our small red gas can so l could fill it for the summer's lawn-mowing. He finally found it, l went to the gas station and filled it. Brought it home and took it in the garage to the lawn mower. That's when l had the "aha" moment...when l saw the extension cord dangling from the mower handle! Duh. l've had this electric mower for two years now, you'd think l'd remember it doesn't take gas!

Nothing yet today, but I usually have a long list of stupid things that I do. :lol3:
I wish I hadn't quit school in the 10th grade and got married.

There are some, but they are too personal to talk about here.:lol3: I just like to think I have learned some lessons. 
Sometimes I wish I had never left my home town of Los Angeles & moved to Ohio at 25. Isn't that saying bout the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, so true?
So, what drew you to Cleveland?
Told my 3 year old that her friend was outside to get her to hurry up and eat. By the time she got outside his Mommy was calling him in and we had 2 very upset little children on our hands.
I'm sure I can come up with more; but I'm recovering from having 7 children over to play today. 3 three year olds, 3 one year olds and a 6 year old. With 2 other mommies. I don't regret it so it doesn't truly fit the thread title; but it's a "I won't be doing that often" one! There was sippy sharing, chalk eating, watermelon grabbing, a few tantrums toward the end, your average bumps and bruises from the littler ones, sand eating and one incident of pants wetting... And the back corner; behind DH's burn barrel, has now been named "the mens room" because that's where I send all the little boys to do their business. (Don't worry, I live in the country and it's in the bushes back there!) There was lots of laughter and smiles too. Kids are just nuts.

Unfinished business with old boyfriend. Burned my bridges so stayed in same city...really too expensive to live in L.A. these days, anyway!

Sounds like your not sure what you wished you didn't do, otherwise all the other little things that made you smile wouldn't have happened......Your glass is more then half fullTold my 3 year old that her friend was outside to get her to hurry up and eat.

Things I really wish I haven't done ever..............that list is probably way more interesting, but ofcourse much longer.
Today I was suppose to meet my landlord for tea at 11 am, but I over slept. It's all good though

Oh I have dropped my phone in the toilet before. If it is still wet put it in a bag of uncooked rice, dries it out wonderfully.
I wish I had not taken a (long) nap today. I am now wide awake and can't sleep. I work in the morning so I better go to sleep soon.

No I have definitely moved on... would you believe that same old boyfriend is in his 70's now & has cancer? Refused to quit smoking...very sad.
Thanx for the birthday wishes!

It was a hopeless smartphone that someone gave me. I've gone back to just a simple one, since I never use a phone to go online. The salesman treated me like I was something out of the ark

Wish I hadn't spent the past 30 minutes watching Lolcats on YouTube when I'm supposed to be studying kanji.
By the way Mani, is this your cat at 2:37?

My biggest regret is when I made the decision to move to Texas. Not because I necessarily hate it here, but because of the circumstances surrounding that decision.

I often regret my decision not to have children. In fact, I literally think about it every day.
Don't be so hard on yourself-- I think God has His plan
