What is the biggest mistake you ever made?

Okay after reconsidering this I would have to say trusting someone.

But I established safeguards on that a few years ago. That will never happen again.

People only know what I want them to know and no more.

 

i have never made any big mistakes. i've made one hell of alot of small ones though; and i've made very, very, few mid-size ones. without a doubt the worst thing that ever happen to me was my "parents." they were way, way, way mega fucked up! the best thing that ever happen to me was when they die. i'm glad their dead. my life is great without them. i don't miss them at all. i feel really, really, really shitty to say that about them, and it also hurts like all hell too to say that! it's really amazing that i have out lived them, but, then, i was always the strongest one in my "family."

 

there's only two things in my life i particularly regret, one of which i keep trying but don't see how, under the circumstances at the time, i could possibly have done otherwise. that one was joining the air force instead of becoming a canadian citizen and staying there which i would have if i had. that's the one, like i said, at the time, i really don't see how i could have done otherwise. at least it DID keep me out of combat and make me pretty much immune to any future draft. this was back in the late 60s when there was such a thing.

the other, the one i still feel really was a mistake, though again there's no way i'll ever know where that road not taken would actually have lead, was buying that boat when i would, could, should, have bought a piece of land, like i had actually set out wanting and intending to.

i let myself get conned into the idea that if i lived on a boat i wouldn't have to pay property taxes. that may have been true, but i still feel it was a damd stupid thing to have let myself be conned by.

at the time it seemed like one more way to avoid supporting a government i didn't and still don't entirely believe in. little realizing that what local governments do that is useful is what depends on property taxes and what their used for and that what supports what i feel is so completely wrong comes out the federal tax program.

we live and learn, and i was young. i though for sure before now i'd have had more and other opportunities to amend that mistake, and if i were a more social person and lived a more socially 'normal' life i probably would have. but i'm who i am, not someone even remotely 'mainstream'.

so it didn't happen. i count myself lucky though, to have been able to live as many times and years entirely by myself as i was able. if the country i live in, were as free as it pretends to be, i'd be doing so now, but we all know that it isn't.

Biggest mistake that I ever made would be the time that I thought it would be a good idea to douche with Lysol... Anti-bacterial my ass....

Actually I don't think I regret any of my mistakes, they all taught me something, even the bad ones...

 

not calling my partner on valentines day

 

Never told my doctor i was getting really sick and when i finally did it was so bad i had to have surgery to remove 12 inches of intestine and 8 inches of colon... I has crohns disease

Had a small bowel follow through and they could barely see the barium drink trickle through my bowels...it got so bad that my body created an extra chunk of intestine to work its way around the inflamed portion of intestine

 

I really don't think I've made any.

 

No wait...

I set a pregnant woman's group on fire, then videotaped their screams and sent copies of the video tapes to their husbands. The problem was, I forgot to charge my battery so I missed the really good parts.

 

pfft, you have to always remember to charge the battery, that is number one priority...

 

My biggest mistake was not going to kill the fucker who murdered my pregnant wife.

 

trusting bird to send me a lemon tree.

 

holy shit dude!

my biggest mistake was wasting all those years in a life of routine that I hated.
