Sarum,very brave of you, but probably nobody would have been able to stop you going, even you. I'm sorry for what happened to you.
Probably true, Fabienne; I was a stubborn ***** even then, but I'd still give it a try, I think.
Of course, that opens up the grandfather paradox; if I did manage to go back and stop myself going, I wouldn't now have the need to do so, so I wouldn't go back; so the younger me still go to the party, and then I would need to go back, and...what's a causality loop, again?

I was blessed to have met all my grandparents, the beauty of my parents getting married young.
Can't say I liked my dad's ones very much....but that's how it goes.

Hiya Sarum
Hiya Fabienne
OK, if you insist...
In 1974, I went to a party as me (the real me)...and toward the end, a thug who'd been pestering me all evening found a chance to put his hand up my skirt.
He didn't like what he found there, so he and his friend dragged me outside and kicked the sh*t out of me.
I spent three days in a coma, six months recovering from my injuries, and I still, occasionally, wake up screaming.
Oh, and I failed all my exams, and lost the chance to go to university.
So, given the opportunity, I'd go back to the day before, and tell my 15-year-old self not to go, no matter how much fun she thinks it'll be.
(Well, you did ask...)

Easy, tell myself to Italian ÂĢ100M lottery numbers for the other week.
1990 - Don't get involved with him he's fecked up and will try to feck you up too.
1995 - same advice
2002 - same advice
Oh and 1986 - you will never be this young and gorgeous again so quit comparing yourself to others and get being beautiful!

I`ve screwed up loads of times but could never say I wished I`d done things differently because the consequences would now be different ..... and the consequences have turned out ok .... and it was all meant to be. And there was no way I could possibly have done it differently because I was what I was at that moment in time and without that experience would not have changed and matured.
Tho` there is one thing - if it was possible I`d like to go back in time to ask my now dead parents questions about their lives.
Blimey lighty

You know I think you're a brave lady
Thanks but not really brave, stupid at times maybe, but you have to get on with life especially(spell) with kids,had a daughter with said hubby..
You have a good point Jeggo .. both my Parents are well into their 80s and still alive and active.. I am acutely conscious that I have not had to go through that loss and I know there will always be things I never asked them

They'll have paid for that many times in their lives, I'm a big believer in karma.

Whenever you like Jeggo.. but if it is a tip to Adam about Eve and the Apple.... forget it

Can I add as well:
1992 - I would tell myself to do it regardless because I would never get another chance and, even though it doesn't seem like it now (then), it would be sooooo important to me later (now).

Dare we ask, what was it??
I wish I hadn`t made promises I couldn`t keep (but I thought I could at the time). Suppose I thought I was stronger than I really was.

Well I was watching the tail end of Back to the Future III and it just occurred to me that we probably all have moments in our lives when a change of decision or direction etc would have made all the difference... not a decaf or regular moment but a.. I go this way.. I got that and it is irrevocable..

Time for a poetry clichÃĐ:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
oh and i'd not be a coward and i'd open my mouth instead of staying quiet......
