I have no interest in seeing what the future holds, but the past really was an exciting read!

I would like to go back to horse and buggy days where there are no cell phones and video games, but I won't wear a dress so off to the future for me! Just make sure I'm well armed!!

Back, so long as I'm healthy and well off!

I'd go to somewhere fashionable like Bath.

The place would have been absolutely fascinating then, being a Georgian newtown.

I'd definitely go back 200 years. It would be really cool too see first hand how people lived in the old western frontier era.

I couldn't go back because I just couldn't live without a flush toilette.

I would play the odds and go forward....even if just out of complete curiosity.

I would have loved to live in the past. I think life was much simpler but also much more physical. I think it was more about survival and you really appreciated the simple things. Now too many people take "stuff" for granted. I really would have enjoyed having a family and working together on the land. The only down side to me would be the short lifespan.

So send me back. I think we could learn a lot of useful things from our history.

Way too for granted. We are all spoiled. As soon as one of our luxuries are taken away we panick rather then step back and think what life was like before we had that luxury.

Hell just early this week I got a very serious worm virus on my PC and had withdrawl symptoms not having internet so hopped in the car and drove to the Library just to get on line, check mail, check my ads and ummmm couph couph.....post on this forum.
