Write the past you a letter/e-mail

[SamIam]

I have messed up BIG in my life at times and it would be nice if the future me could write me a letter telling me in no uncertain terns not to do it, whatever "it" might be.

Like, "Sammy, do not place that bowl of tadpoles under your bed and forget it until your Mother makes an unpleasant surprise some days later.

Some messages should arrive FedEX - please open at once:

"Dear Sam, I know he looks like Robert Redford, has a droll sense of humor, writes you poetry and has a good job for the moment.

Please now run as fast as you can. He dinks like a fish, will dump his two kids on you, become engaged to you, tell you that he'd like you to be a stay at home step Mom, and then for his coup de grace, he will run off to California one night, leaving you penniless and trying to decide what to do with his 2 kids who'd rather die then go back to Mom."

Warnings like these are sorely needed in the modern era, and science should make every effort to make the reverse e-mail/letter a possibiity.
