What would u have done differently?

[Country Geek]

Bringing it to a more mundane and practical level related to rural living.... when my pasture was being cleared I let the clearing contractor talk me into letting him bury the stumps rather than burn them. It saved a few bucks and he assured me that since the clay here is anaerobic, they wouldn't rot. That was in 1998. After the first couple of years of settling (and he came back with fill dirt to fix it) it was fine. But now I'm installing a geothermal heat pump system and trying to put the lines in that pasture... the buried junk is a major problem.

But in my defense, at the time I was a city boy building my country place. But I should have spent the extra bucks to have the stuff properly disposed of.

I would be firm in making my own decisions [pay attention kiddies] rather than let people talk me into careers, wives, horses, et al. But:

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift -- that's why its called the present."

I would never started smoking, gone to the dentist more often and used a condom. No, strike the "condom" remark.

If I could go back in time I'd give a few certain people's parents some pamphlets on birth control.

Ditto here, I spent too much of my life trying to do what others said that I should.

I think knowing what I know now, I probably would have joined the military right out of High School and stayed there long enough to get full retirement benefits.

I would have at least gone in for 4 years... not only would it hage gotten me out in the world, but any serviceman will tell you that they made frineds who will never let them down. Especially those who had been shot at together...



Decide what you want from life and stay the course. There is no one good decision... but the worst you can do is to make no choice at all; instead of controlling your destiny, fate will control you.
