1. do you mean ALL of it?
I would love to edit, reformat some things... but overall I guess so.

2. I would do it all.
I wouldn't want to miss the good stuff and I'd get to re-live it.
The mistakes and regrets have defined my character. They are my education and I wouldn't avoid even the worst.

8. Well... would I know what was coming? Would I be self-aware that...
I was reliving my life?

If so, would I be able to make small changes to affect the outcome of different events? Or would I just have to plod along simply re-living the previous life (as though I were re-watching a movie)?

If I was able to make changes (like NOT moving to Florida when I was 20) would that effectively make the rest of my life so different that from that point on I wouldn't be "re-living" what I've already done... but experiencing a TOTALLY new life?

Would I be able to warn friends about their impending deaths and possibly save them?

There are many things I'd do differently... but would those minor (and major) tweaks have any impact on my life the way it is now?

9. I think seemingly small things can impact your life.
Sure. What may seem at the time like something trivial can make a huge impact. I moved to Dallas, Texas in the early 80's. I got involved in drugs and some people who, shall we say, weren't considered the "cream of society". My life was destroyed because of that. If I were able to make changes...like not getting involved in drugs...I would, most likely, still be living in Dallas. And I wouldn't probably have met Doug. My life would be much different.

7. Well since I did not know what I do now, I would most likely do it over.
I also would not hear a thing my father told me. So there you are.
