If you could back in time, when would you go back? asked a few, one said 40, others said teen years
College years, or late nineties and early 2000s. I was younger and looked better, and I really miss the nineties.
I'd go back to the 70's when my girls were little. I'd do things different and have more patience with them and teach them more things.
I would go back to my freshman year of college and never date my 1st husband, much less marry him. My life turned into a shambles after that, and last Monday my youngest son died of an autoimmune disorder (his son, too). I would never wish this on anyone.
How awful! I'm so sorry this happened to you! I would return to my freshman year of college too, but ONLY if I knew what I know now! I would have had a very different attitude, and made a lot of alternate choices!
I'm 28, soon to be 29. I wouldn't go back in time for my own life. However, I think it would be incredibly amazing to visit other time periods. - For instance, I would love to visit ancient Egypt, ancient Greece - I would travel back and meet Buddha.. things like that.
If I could know then what I know now, I would go back to my freshman year in college, so I could make different choices and change the course of my life. Being past 50 is a fabulous blessing, because of all the wisdom I have acquired. I wish I'd had myself for an older sister, to give me guidance in my younger years!
As for time travel, there are too many historical periods to count. My favorite fantasy is to go visit the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder. In the book "The Long Winter", I could show up in a helicopter at a crucial time, and deliver coal and canned foods to the town of De Smet. Imagine the impression that would make!

When I was in high school I wasn't popular. In fact, when I went up on stage to get my diploma, no one cheered. Not even my parents. What the hell!How popular were you and how many high school friends do you keep in touch with if any?

To all atheists: what if I asked God for the winning lotto numbers and He said 13, 8, 28, 18, 2, 48and you won, will you believe in Him OR will you say it was luck, coincidence and rigged

Everyone had an embarrassing moment at some point in college. Most happen during freshman year! My most embarrassing moment freshman year was when we had a fire drill at 2 am and it was raining. I did not know it was raining so I put my slippers and a pair of jeans. When i got outside it was...

It can be FUNNY, CUTE, or that EMBARRASSING comment in the grocery store line. Please give the age of the child for reference. I love it when my 2yr old says "tank you, daddy" when I give her milk or something else she asked for. After I make her laugh, it makes me smile when she says...
