If you could travel to the past...

Saturday March 20th 2010.

The Sunday paper just came,
and Now, I've got all the winning lotto numbers.

My first choice would be Regency England. Love that Jane Austen era! I would also love to go back to convict Australia (preferably not as a convict), and experience everything right up to the present time.

The Big Bang.

I'd go to the houses(or cars) of my mortal enemies' parents and interrupt them with a cold bucket of water just before the moment of conception.

Also, I'd like to be there just before they split the atom so I could yell, "BOOM." I bet they'd find that funny.

Failing that, I'd love to hang in Ancient Rome, you know, share a salad with Caesar, that kind of thing.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

I would grab some of my favorite books published in the last 50 years, go to the 50's and send them as manuscripts to all publishing houses.

I'd love to see Budapest during the Austria-Hungarian Empire. It's gorgeous now, mind you.

I'd visit Josephine's rose garden. I grow many of her roses

I'd love to see the Nile region in Egypt when it was lush and green.

Paris in many, many times. That would have to be home base

And of course I'd visit my Native ancestors before settlers came and just fish and stuff

I'll stop. There are too many!!

Tower of London, June - August 1483...

I'd go back to October 3, 1984 and keep my sister from getting on that damn horse...I miss her

... mixed feelings. I'd like to travel back to the late 1940's. Literature and art of the time were the coolest ever, imo. On the other hand there was a lot of stupid racist sentiments in the era along with sexist views. Guess all eras have their goods and bads.

i'd like to back to the time before i started reading this thread, please.

I'd go back and kill the bastard before he had the chance to torture my six-month-old nephew to death.

If I were stuck back in my grandmother's time or before, I would die a slow, insanity-ridden death because the disease I have had no cure then. That kinda blows my mind.

All it takes now is a big needle full of a [very cheap] red potion once a month. Crazy, isn't it?

I don't want to go back, I just want to put life on pause and take a gloriously long nap before resuming.

This'd be gooood.

I'd go back to about 1476, to what is now Romania and meet Vlad Tepes before he's murdered, just to see what he was really like. And just before he impales me, jump ahead to somewhere between 1485-90 in Hungary to meet King Matyas, see all the lovely books he collected, and bitch-slap his whiny-ass nagging wife, then jump back to our time before she has me flogged.

I'd take a million pictures of the inside of my house and the backyard and all the work I've done and travel back a year or so to show them to my grandmother. I'd spend all afternoon asking for her advice (I'm planning to plant some rosebushes this year, and she grew roses most of her life).

Grandma died the day I closed on the house (she was 98). Two or three weeks before she died, Dad and I picked her up after church and drove her past the house so she could see what it looked like, but she never saw the inside.

I wish I could have shown it to her.

I'd like to go back to this morning so I could find busy work for my husband.
