    I would be 18 again. And not marry every guy I sleep with.

    My childhood and actually enjoy it to the max. Do the things I wish I did back then.

    But I do like the idea of visiting the 1940/50's era or going to the middle ages and seeing what really happened back then. Or even going back to ancient Egyptian or Greecian times and see what it was like then too. That leads to too many possibilities of when to go to.

    I was just thinking about this earlier... I'd like to do a fairly complicated time shift backwards then forwards for a bit then backwards for a year or two with a little tricky switcheroo to bring me back to now. I'd be married to somebody else and have kids... :bigsmile:

    2001 and NOT married my baby daddy, regardless of what my family said... that was the start to the downfall and my first ex-husband.

    I'd go back to 1997 and NOT move in with my loser druggie boyfriend. *shudder* What is it about being 21 that makes you think you are invincible? Ugh.

    Oh, I'd also go back to the early 2000s and take the trips with my now husband that he tried to surprise me with, but I chose work instead. Life is too short.

    I would go back to 80's: still marry the first one so that I would have my son, get out sooner, keep the weight off after I worked so hard to lose it after he was born, skip becoming an LPN and go straight to being an RN, skip the crappy dates and find/marry my current husband a lot sooner on the time line!

    I'd go back to when I was 18.. then at least I'd feel like less of a perv when I see the young, yoga pants wearing girls at the gym.

    I'd love to go back to before North America was settled by the Europeans, back when the Native Americans were relatively peaceful, and live with one of those peaceful tribes for a while.

    No back for me.....I want to explore space, other solar systems, galaxies, that sort of stuff. So I'd have to go forward in time.

    I've always been fascinated with the medieval times. So I'd go back to the medieval times and probably the united kingdom.

    Honest to god, I would love to go back to the 60s and see my parents as teenagers. I think it'd be a trip to see my mom driving around with her go go boots in her teal mustang and my dad with his badly-executed Beatles hair! I'd sit on the couch with them and watch the moon landing!
