Cheerful and content? Regrets?

Rubecula

Anyone else feel cheerful and content with their lot? I mean, things could have gone better in my life, but on the whole, most things considered, it could have gone a lot worse.

However there are one or two things I have never done but would have liked to do.

1. Never had a picnic.

2. Never done a parachute jump.

and a few more but I can mention them later.

In the meantime, who else can look back and think, "wish I had done that."

Why don't you do a parachute jump then ? You're never too old.

Picnic bar or eating soggy sandwiches sitting on a blanket?


Personally, there's not one thing I regret not doing. Some things I regret doing though.

Here we are a few years later. On the whole life has been........ok. Much like yourself Rube, life could have been a lot worse but it could also have been a heck of a lot better. 'Nuff said.

Don't do the paracute jump Rube, you'll just put your hip out. The picnic can still happen. Let's all pack up our sangwidges tomorrow and join Rube for a beano in the great outdoors!

I wish I had won €50 million in the lottery ..... so i guess I really regret I had not bought a ticket.

We had quite a few picnics when I was a child, but never a birthday party. Woe is me.

I wish I'd been nicer to my parents when I was young. As a parent now though, I see how patient I can be, and how the young person does work really well when it's absolutely necessary eg when I'm sick (not often!), and I hope I was like that too.

Never had a birthday party either to be honest but no regrets on that, as I know it would be a shambles. :cool:

No, never. it was thinking about that very subject that caused me to open this thread to be frank. I would love to have one even to this very day, but sadly it would not be too easy.

Jellybaby1

I think picnics today would be a more complicated affair than in my childhood. They would have to be 'planned', where to go, games to play, food to bring, who to invite, and that awful trend today.......the 'theme', i.e. what will we dress up as? :mad:

Rubecula

Good point. What would you dress as?

I would have dressed as a badger but I don't want to get culled. lol

Jellybaby1

Goldilocks! Who else?

When he saw what had happened, daddy bear said "GRRRRRRRRRROWL" He then ran at 40 mph at the stupid girl and bit her, before having a poo.... Yes bears really do certain things in the woods.

Jellybaby1

Rubecula

I dunno any fairy stories about fluffy bunnies

I had one or two birthday parties when I was young but house was a small council house and mum really too busy for that, helping with family business. I was at quite a few for friends even someone's eighteent! I did have a 21st.; in Dublin overnight, started in The Barge and finished in someones flat in Ranelagh. I was allowed stay i.e. sleep on the floor since I was the special guest.
