Exactly. It's like the result of that study, years ago, of people who were 95 years old and older, I think it was called the Hanz-Eisnick study, or something like it. These 95-year-olds were asked what they would do differently if they had their lives to live over again. They all said they would take more risks. They said their biggest regrets were not the risks they tried and failed - those things were meaningless to them now. They said the greatest regrest that gnawed at them and kept them awake at night was wondering what "might have been" had they had the guts to take the risks they never did try. Number one regret among them all. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org]On Behalf Of > Leslie Osborn > Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 12:04 PM > To: basia@smoe.org > Subject: Re: Yearning & She Deserves It (OT) > > > > > feelings to her.

A friend of mine got married a couple of years ago and their DJ offerred karaoke at the reception. Some old guy from the bride's side got on stage and belted out "Your Cheatin' Heart." *Cringe* Now, I'm sure he didn't mean to imply anything. That old country song was probably the first song in the catalog that he recognized. People just don't think sometimes.
