What is the biggest mistake of you life?
What would you do differently?
What can others on aldeer learn from your stupidity?

Me: I trusted my ex, and didn't fight for my son in court. I thought we could work everything out (not get back together, but financially & kid). It has cost me dearly financially.

This is a woman that I stood by her side as she fought breast cancer.

Your lesson from my mistake: If you ever get divorced. Fight tooth and nail for everything you can. You can always back off of what the court declares. The woman will NOT.

No offense to any of our aldeer ladies. This isn't directed at you.

Although I understand your question I feel if it wasn't for my mistakes I wouldn't be who I am today. I may not have my kids or my wife, who excepted my two kids already had, if I hadn't of done the things I did. I'm blessed and know it. So I guess wouldn't change nothing.

My son came from my ex and myself. I would not change that in any way. My only regret is trusting that we could work things out. I was wrong.

Damn, I made a lot. Gotta think on this one.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I wish I had borrowed about $50k and bought HealthSouth stock when it was selling for about .10 a share.

Understood. I went through hell getting my two daughters. After three years I finally had her rights pulled. Took the worthless bitch burning one of them with a cigeratte to have that done. I looked for her to kill her, luckily she left town for a while. Hard row to how for a while.

I had a friend offer me some Creek front land, 3/4 acre, that had direct access to St Andrews Bay and thus, the Gulf Of Mexico, for $ 28,000.00. This was around 1990 or so.

He offered it at no interest and just pay what I wanted until I had paid it off.
Wife and I went out to look property over and area was secluded, on a dirt road and had some nice pines, water oaks and magnolias on it and it was partially cleared. It also had a gabizillion sand gnats and noseeums!! They bout toted the wife and I off.
So considering the bug issue and I already was paying for a pretty nice house I turned him down because I just didn't have that forward thinking mindset then.

That creek was Burnt Mill creek just outside Panama City and where they just built a new Regional Airport at. St Joe land has also started developing that area heavily with very upscale "river camps".
That $28K would probably translate to $250K plus easily today undeveloped.


Hunt'em hard when they are hard to hunt but never, ever hardly hunt!

How funny! I had a client at that time who was a stock broker, hounded the stew out of me to buy some HealthSoutch stock when it was .09 or .10. She said the minimum purchase was $100, so I gave her a check for $115 (included her fee of $15) and bought just over 1,100 shares. I sat on it for around a year (maybe?, don't remember exactly), and it seemed to level off around $3.85 and then began trending downward for several weeks. I think I wound up selling at $3.77/share, turning that $115 into almost $4,200!

About a year and a half after our 2nd child was born I had a vasectomy. That was 14 years ago and I have regretted it thoroughly in recent years. I wish we would've had another child (or more). I feel strongly compelled to adopt now though.

After my parents divorced when I was 17 I got deeply depressed and did every kind of drug and alcohol that you could think of.I am being totally honest when I say this.I can not remember my life between 18-19 years of age.It is all a blurr.If I knew then what I know now I would never look at that stuff.Good thing is is that I allowed God to take that bad experience and mold me into the man I am now.

Make it 3. I blew off high school. Did JUST enough to pass. Didn't turn in my English term paper cause I figured out I could not and still pass. Had it half done. Took the ACT after HS. and made a 27. That was good until you realized my math portion (didn't take a math class after 10th grade) was a 14. All the other sections I made over a 30.

Took 5 math courses in a row at Wallace Community College in Selma and could have retaken the ACT at that point and busted a 30+ score EASILY. Couldn't be bothered. With a 30+ ACT and the good grades I had at Wallace I could have gotten an academic scholarship anywhere I wanted to go (within reason, I don't mean Harvard and Yale). I had no interest. Went to work instead at C&S Auto parts in Selma AL for $6 an hour.

What did I need school for? What a colossal dumbass I was (am).

Was offered an apprenticeship with an architect. At the time I could have worked three years, passed the test and been an architect without an hour of college. But I didn't want to leave a higher paying dead end job. Now you can't be an architect without a degree. I should have been thinking long term and not just right now.

My undergrad degree was music. I studied voice pretty seriously and wanted to go to Nashville after I graduated to see what I could do. I was really pretty good back then. I even had contacts through several fraternity brothers who were from there with some very well known country music people. Some 'A List' performers and record execs. All I had to do was make contact with some of these people and it would have been a foot in the door. I was really selfish and not in a position to be. I refused to go if it was going to mean that the record label controlled all aspects of my career and I was a whore for the biz until I paid my dues. I never went and I now I'll never know.

Biggest mistake: Killed someone
Would do different: wouldn't kill them
