Default OT - ATTN: Dr. Whovians

I don't know if ya['ll across the pond have seen this one yet. It's the
first show of the second half of season 6(?), "Let's Kill Hitler". As
usual it was absolutely amazing. I won't put any spoilers here, but
just wanted to say it was aMAzing.

I know you know that *all* Dr. Who episodes are amazing, and I don't
know why I'm even posting this except to express my amazement! ;

How about a thread about time travel.... if you could choose one moment
of history (your own or the world's) to change, what would you change?

For me it would be *not* marrying my first husband. Well, it actually
goes beyond that. I would *not* befriend my supposedly "best friend"
who introduced me to my first husband. I think that would have changed
my whole life for the better.

Shouldn't it be "Attn: Dr Whoovers"? (hoovers, geddit?)

Bad pun retiring now.

LOL! Write in line with another thread here (pun/typo intentional).

I apologize if this is too off-topic, but I think there's a number of
Dr. Whhoians (or Dr. Whoovers), and I am a fantastic Gleek, again,
deliberate pun/typo. I love that show too. I think Ben and I were two
of only about five people in the whole theater to see "Glee Concert in 3D".

I saw it last evening and thought it was very good too. There again I've
been a Doctor who fan since it began.

If I could change something in my history it would be to have shown
confidence even when I wasn't feeling it, from a very early age. It would
have made my life a lot easier.

That's a good one. I don't think I'd have been pushed around so much
had I done that too.

That's a good one. I don't think I'd have been pushed around so much
had I done that too.


Its debatable about what I'd change, as all things lead into the next.

If I'd repeated the year in school as was recommended, I would not have met
my ex.

And if I wasn't with my ex, I wouldn't have met Joel.

And again, if I'd chosen the 'better' career, again, I wouldn't have met
Joel

And then one could argue, if I hadn't married Joel and found someone
'better' (whatever that means) I may not have found this group, and I
certainly would not have had the Yowlet (I may not even have had children at
all).

I cannot say life would be better or worse for these events. It may have
been *much* better. I don't know. It could have also been much worse. And,
if circumstances were subtly different, I could be dead. Or even never been
born.

I don't know. I'm not sure if I would *want* to know.

And, more to the point, I'm not terribly sure that its healthy to speculate
too long on how things would have been different 'if only'.... kinda makes
me regret what I've got now, and I don't think thats a good thing
(especially when I still struggle on a daily basis to deal with Joel's
ongoing disability and my lack of career progression) I have to find
happiness, joy and fulfillment in what I *do* have and what I can influence,
rather than pine for a better life in the 'if only'.

I think you're making good sense here, Yowie. I figured out a long time ago
that it's fine to play what I call the "what if" game if you're doing it
with the future, but it's dangerous to do it with the past.

IOW, wondering, "What if I do this?" is much more likely to have pleasant
results than wondering, "What if I hadn't done that?"

That said, the one thing I would like to change is to have joined
Toastmasters much earlier than I did. My self-confidence has grown
immensely since I did, and many things about my life have improved.
