[michaelA]

mine happened yesterday, I lost almost 7grand in niagra casino.

[xIcewind]

You can never win at a casino.

Heh. *waits for people to say 'get married'* =P

For now, was not studying before IChO. Needless to say, I didn't make it past provincials.

JOining RFD and wasting 2 years of my life.

[Jokez Guy]

Slacking of in schoool and not listening to them >:(

Heh, pretty much everything I try.
Otherwise, messing up on math mid-term, studied wrong thing.
Got Level 2, could have 80+, only got 76 >:(

[Avenger]

I sure hope my parents do not surf RFD and reply to this thread :)

I think I have made quite a few mistakes, but that is all part of learning and avoiding making even bigger ones!

[hyperion]

Not taking care of my eye(sight).

wtf is wrong with u. how could let urself loose dat much.

[politicallyincorrect]

became an accountant when i hate math.

[Avenger]

I agree, I would say that not so much a big mistake as it is a lack of self-control and sense! On the bright side, to have been able to access that much, the guy must have a decent financial cushion to fall back on.

[Peter Pan]

Losing touch with almost all my old friends from high school and university.

im not sure wuts the biggest mistake in my life. :confused: :confused:

[Hanniganite]

Stolen from others above but only because they apply to me:

Letting my eyes go bad
Letting my skin go bad (although these first two aren't entirely my fault, just mostly)
Losing touch with almost everyone I've been friends with through skool

[felixdd]

not exercising more as a child. It's hard to build up once your physiology's pretty much set (i.e. you don't grow new muscle cells after puberty).

But seriously...if I was given the chance to live my life again, I probably wouldn't change a thing. Who I am today is a product of all that occurred to me in the past -- lumps and all. I'm happy with who I am today, and that's a product of all the goods things, and all the mistakes, that I've made in the past.

my father and i have lost more than $200,000 in the stock market. >:(

However, we have made tons in real estate :)

o u bastard!


j/k...


why did u dump ehr though?

[Neonextell]

I dumped her cause i thought our relationship wasn't going anywhere. and plus she just wanted to hold hands... :| my god.. but yah.. I never really knew what i had till i lost it.. as the saying goes.. (i found out that she loved me aswell... and she actually wanted to give me her virginity.)

I did that once,
you'll find out later that "just wanted to hold hands" means "you're almost there, figure it out and I'm all yours". As the saying goes, no means yes.

lol im pretty sure she was serious... BUT the thing was.. i really didn't care.. i just wanted her to come over.. we'll just sit and talk or watch tv or a movie.. cuddle.. i miss that..

but as a bonus... she woulda givin me her big V

[Mir]

Love is very Powerfull thing
I really think it shook my and her life big time

[plucky duck]

To the OP, what did you play to lose that much? Did you double your bets each time you lose or what? Must've gotten really emotional and out of hand.

Or maybe not, if you're like the guys who play $1000-$4500 per hand. Now that's crazy.

I'm still young and dumb and have no major regrets/mistakes to date. Even if I can mention one or two to date, it'll be peanuts compared to the ones I'm sure I'll make in the coming years decades!! I guarantee it :lol: The worse has yet to come.....

About 5 years ago I sold my collection of Pokemon Cards and some rare Magic The Gathering Cards.
My guess is that I lost thousands.......... I was a BIG collector of the Pokemon ones and I had some rare ones like Flying Pikachu, etc.
WHY DID I SELL THEM!?!?!?!?!?!?

[mushrooms]

wow i never knew so many people on RFD had gfs.hahaha...or ex-gfs from what i've been reading in this thread.

[Sylvestre]

well, I've always believed that you learn from your mistakes so I don't regret any of them since I won't be where I am without them.
And I know I've not had any serious mistakes that I haven't been able to recover from thankfully.

biggest one is probably not talking more w/ my sister.

[Blunt]

Hum...my biggest mistake is that I didn't listen to my ex, took her for granted. It was too late when I realised. :cry:

sometimes 1+1 actually = 3, especially when procreation is involved. sometimes it = 4. go figure.

Lets go from most recent to oldest mistakes/regrets...

- not going to all my classes in university
- not going to enough parties in university
- not living up to my potential in university
- lying to my parents/family about my marks in university
- getting my roommate kicked out of rez for selling pot
- cheating on a physics midterm
- being mean to my younger sister
- not having many friends that i've kept in touch with

...so many more, too little time. i'm not one of those people who can say they'd do it the same all over again. i wish i had of done things differently, but, i accept my actions and will forever have to live a life that is maybe not quite as "easy" as it could have been. oh well, c'est la vie.

That's almost funny. I guess you must know what its like to bring to mind the things on that list. I just try to forget my regrets and move on...some of the things though, I can correct and some I can't...I don't know if I'll ever tell my parents that my marks are at least 10% lower than they think. And I don't think I'll ever tell my roommate I got him kicked out. He shouldn't have been selling a grand of dope per week anyways, he wasn't a bad guy. I just didn't like the crowd that was coming around.
