why? The change could be a present thing or something in the past.

1. You go first...
:)

I'm not sure what I'd change. Most anything I could come up with would be superficial and for vanity's sake. I think after over 40 years, I've become used to who I am and accept the good with the bad.

2. I am still trying to go through my list and get down to one thing
Pretty big list, so getting down to just one is tricky.

3. I would be a never-smoker
If I could go back in time, I'd go back to 1 minute before I lit that first cigarette and kick my own ass.

4. That's a good answer and I am going to change the question
to allow for past changes.

6. Past changes??
I could have left Lelapin's father when she was 3 months old and things fell apart yet again and moved back home. But by doing that, I don't know who I'd be now. I'll stick to the present. ;)

Money is all I need.

9. Considering that I'm lying here drinking coffee and reading DU when there's
a mountain of work to do, I'd give myself a work ethic...

Or not.

13. I am leaning toward that one myself
spend way too much time on boards like DU and not enough on more productive activities.

20. I would like to be more intelligent and able to use it.
I'm pretty intellectually lazy and I'd be a lot more competent as a person if I were less so.
