I've gained tons & saved tons but to answer the OP's Q, if im honest with myself I wish I never started as I can't ever justify the time I've wasted on ddf (I dare not even look at my stats)

Valid point.
If DDMS/DDF didn't exist, we would probably spend that same time on another site.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

All I can say say is thank you ddf for making my honeymoon possible. Before discovering ddf, I was always that person who was jealous of all the rich people flying business when I was always in economy. I never imagined being able to fly my wife and I in business class myself. (currently on the honeymoon)...

OP's question is actually kefira. Just saying.

Maybe @ExGingi will explain.

Sure.

The question mark on the OP is at the end of a very long one word sentence: Thoughts.

Calling that kefira is along the lines of something I often say: מחשבה היא אם כל חטאת.

OTOH. Being that @Freddie is from PIT, he might be referring to the question in the thread title. To which the zayde would say: וואלט איך איז אפיקורסות (or something along those lines).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Not sure what you want to say, but the yiddish part makes no sense.

It absolutely makes sense. "What if" or "if only I"  is apikorsus.

Makes a little more sense when cutting the sentence up with "....".
Still weirdly said/written.

וואלט איך should be in quotes and have a comma after it. We are correcting  Yiddish grammar...definitely not worth being on DDF for this.

I pretty much have DDF to thank for everything. So, definitely not.

Would not have my business today if not for DDF.

I've gained a lot, but still think I would have been better off without it.

That has nothing to do with DDF and everything to do with me, though.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
