gambling. so much wasted time, money, relationships, etc. even when you're having a great season it doesn't make up for the bad ones and moments you've blown


benzos were pretty damn tough to quit also. very slippery slope once the doc writes you a scrip

Student loans to gamble, travel, and live above my normal means. 50k, didn't even need the $. 

I'm very much of the "who cares you only live once" mindset.

Dug a hole for myself in my 20's. Gambling. Loans. Sharks. Credit cards. The whole 9 yards. 20 months of screwing up.Took better part of 15 years to get straight.

Not buying google instead at the initial offering of 85.00 a share.

Not joining the Navy after college graduation.

Relationship with a latina.

Geeezus...I could type all day.

That's life boys, we do our best and nothing fair.


Shake it off Search and shake it off, off & off.

I thought hard about buying Apple stock in 1996 when it was on the brink of bankruptcy ($2 a share or something close to that). I've worked on Macs (printing industry) since 1991. If I'd bought that stock I coulda stopped Itunes, the Ipod, the Iphone, the Ipad and every other I-fkn thing that's going to come out in the next 50 years. Could you imaging what $2K woulda turned into?

Certainly Mess, I would've dumped it somewhere along the line. That's what normal people do. Rich people would buy $5K of it and cash it out when it was $700 a share...

Myself? I got content with where I was and never studied/learned more.

You should always try to improve at what you do. Especially for your earning wage.................

Not cashing out when I was up $65K in baseball a few years back... I started with $150 in my account and went on a huge run.  I figured I had cracked the code so keep rolling.  Lost if all of course.  I really could have used the money for responsible things at that time, like buy a house and my kids, etc.

I bought a house last year and me and boys are doing great.

Damn guys, that suicide stuff freaks me out.  I agree you cannot help those that don't want help, but that is sound reason.  I would be devastated in a real way if somebody close to me did that.

I wasted about a year and a half of my life at about the second job i got out of college.  Was working a not high paying job that had illegal things going on.  Instead of telling anyone i just started drinking a lot and smoking a lot.  I went from beer to whiskey and harder alcohol drinking it out of the bottle.  Ended up putting my car in the ditch twice and walking a couple of miles home so i didn't get in trouble.  Ended up showing up to work late so on.  Made a lot of bad decisions.  Anyway my family got worried and stepped in and helped me out.  Pretty much quit it now.  Drink sometimes when i go to the races in the summer at the local track on saturdays otherwise i gave it up.  I realized i was headed down a bad path.  There was a couple times I laid down and everything was spinning and i just saw black and i knew i was going to die pretty soon if something didn't change.

saying yes to move on in a scam i lost 2 1/2 years and total loss $10,000 counting that 2 1/2 years.

Finally caught up with the p r i ck had to drive down to fla me n 2 buddies took him home and walked out with all cash he had in his apt plus whatever valubles that could be sold to make up for the time n money i lost. HE was saying i call the cops you cant do this bla bla i said hey f okker stfu you stole millions from others be watching over your shoulder thief cause they are coming here to !

Aslo to the ones who lost friends that decided to end thier own lives like others said nothing you could do! They made the choice. Maybe one who could have been with his bud that one night might have stopped him.

BUT he offed him self cause his G/F left him???

i had 6 girls drop me so i had a pity party one night was out fooking another babe next week.     \ l /

Not taking a chance with this smoking hot Russian chick because some goofy looking 18 year old girl said she loved me.

I bought a "Throw Mama From The Train" VHS tape at Walgreens for $.50 about 15 years ago.  Never watched it.  Still regret that purchase.

Good posts.

As we grow older, make a point of correcting the most important decisions of all. Those include the relationship you have with human beings.

By far the most important determining factor in our lives.. Past, current and future. Choose them very wisely.

True dat.  No one ever regrets not making enough money or not having enough stuff.  We regret not spending enough time with the people we love.

I thought about putting this as one of mine.  Mine was about a year ago, I now consider it a blessing in disguise as I have turned it into a positive.  Haven't had a drink or smoke in almost 10 months, and even though it cost me about 5K I've probably saved more than that by quitting both and not going out.

Took my Dad to our last Red Sox game in 2007.

Health prohibits what we can do now.

If you can do something good with somebody you love...

Do it NOW.  Do not wait.  Go for it.

1.  Started betting on the horses when I was 17 years old.  Now, I am 35, and have been going to the track once a week for the past 18 years.  I'd say that I lose money at the track about 90% of the time.  If you go to bet on the horses, go there to have a good time, and not to make money.

2.  Became a St. Louis Blues fan when I was in high school.  Many years of heartache and disappointment.  I love that team to pieces but have so many bad memories of playoff failures.  Either way....Go Blues!

When my Dad was still alive, but in very bad health at the age of 85, I asked him what his biggest regret in life was. Without hesitation he said not spending enough time with his kids. That right there was the best lesson he ever taught me
