    If you could go back in time....

    Where would you go? If you had a week to travel back in time, what time periods would you like to visit?

    Me....I would choose the following:
    3 days in 1880
    1 day in 1955
    2 days in 1982
    1 day in 2003

    Will the one day affect present time, like could you make a different decision, or are we going purely for enjoyment purposes?

    Mmmmm....for lessons learned, enjoyment, and perhaps to make a different decision.

    I love the Victorian days, so to go back in time and meet some of my ancestors would be real cool.

    I like the old 50's and 60's music, and would like to be around the whole bobby sock, soda jerk, innocent times thing.

    1982 had some cool music at that time too. Plus I was young enough to raise some hell

    2003...well...that's a personal choice made

    What was significant in those years to you?

    I'd go back to 1998-2000 and make some changes in personal relationships with women.

    I made some mistakes that still haunt me.

    I'd go back to 1982, get a vasectomy, buy Microsoft stock when it comes out, skip college and make an attempt at a music career.

    That may be a easy fix. You could always contact them and tell them how you really feel. At least there would be closure?

    HA! I went to college kinda around the same time, and majored in mixers. I saw a band called "Atomic Punks" at my college. (Wasn't the same band that is out there today....) Then kinda fell by the way side. I was going to be a psychologist/social worker.

    Yeah, I think I learned drinking more than anything else in college. Never drank before college and drink rarely now, but in college---whew!

    No, it's not like that. These are people I wish I never met or got involved with. I wouldn't exactly be charitable if I ever met or spoke with either one of them again, if you catch my drift.

    Oh yeah, especially beer these days - it takes too many too feel a buzz. Sometime around my senior year in college I realized that I wasn't really doing a lot of things that were all that fun, but I was just getting smashed all the time at all the same places.

    But, to go back in time just once to raise the hell with no responsibility, with the wind in your hair, the top down, and cruisin' the night with the tunes on maximum, heading to Lake George....memories...ah yes...

    Lake George? I went there when I was a kid a few times, and recently took my kids there. I never went as a young adult, seems like a good party town.

    Oh hell ya, it was and still is a good place to go! So is Saratoga.
    That's the only reason now to go up to Lake George is to take the kids to Great Escape. My boy has a pass where he can go anytime he wants. I will take both of the kids to the fright fest this year.

    I liked going there with a trunk load of little OV's and wine coolers on a Thursday night and watch fireworks off the lake. Then go play mini golf at that around the world place across from the boats.

    We had Six Flags season passes 2 years ago and went to Great Escape a couple of days (I remember when it was Storytown). I was glad to see the House of Frankenstein was still there! Great place for vacation!

    I'd elect not to go back to any period.

    Our pasts are what define us. Change one little thing and we would become someone entirely different. Maybe even cease to be.

    I prefer to keep my mistakes and learn from them.

    That said, it *would* be pretty cool to go back and bump uglies with Marilyn Monroe or Bettie Page.

    I'd go back about 5 minutes and tell myself not to read this thread.

    Ahhh, it does make a difference whether or not you could make a different decision. I mean I already see how the ones I made are working out... but if I could do differently...

    2 or 3 days in 1977,
    3 to 5 days in 1983,
    1 in 1986, if I didn't already waste them in the early years.

    For enjoyment sake...

    I already know you can never go back, and the good old days aren't always what they seem, so I think I would rather go forward. can I do that? That might influence a few decisions I am faced with right now.

    Live for today. To heck with getting old. I can get old when I am dead. Its funner now because my head is not all messed up with drugs and stuff.

    I have two personal relationship mistakes with one person... but to try and set it right today? I think maybe the fantasy is better than the reality. Everyone needs a fantasy. I just gotta go with all things happen for a reason. If it was meant to be, it is never too late, and it could happen again, but if you try to force it, thats not the same as letting it happen and you are flirting with disaster.

    I'd go back to Dealey Plaza, Texas on November 22, 1963.
    Stand on the grassy knoll and shout

    First, I'd go back to the early 60's to check out the Beatles before they got really big.

    Then I'd go the mid 70's, to look around and go see Van Halen in their club days.

    After that, the late 70's/early 80's to see Van Halen in some big venue.

    Last place: the mid 90's. Just to correct a little mistake.
