I'd like to back in time when dinosaurs ruled the earth....maybe have one of those planting eating dinosaurs as a pet,ha-ha! Or when the pyramids were being built and most definitely when Jesus walked the earth so I could talk with him.

I would like to go back to ancient Egypt and find out just HOW the Great Pyramids were built, WHO built them and WHY. Of course, if anything is different from the accepted history, no one would believe me.

That is someone you truly miss and I'm sorry you missed out on the opportunity.

I wouldn't want to go back but would like to know how the ancient Egyptians managed to be so precise with the pyramid structures. I've never studied Egypt but some movies show that the rulers killed the armies of men after each phase was completed to preserve all the secrets.

I would like to see what it was like to go west on a wagon train.

What a beautiful city that was, with galleries, indoor plumbing & even snack bars in malls and arenas which actually moved to show different scenes.

Anyway, not that I would want to stay forever, but I would love to go back to that place for just an hour.

If you could step into a time machine, when and where would you go? What would you do there?
I don’t want to go back in time however I’d like to go forward about 20 years to see what that’s like. And if I don’t like what I see I can make some changes NOW that might improve the outcome. Life could be so much better if we make better choices in how the world lives “together”

You can't change the past but you can make a better future!

Everything happens for a reason DallasKitty. I miss him like crazy but we had different paths to walk that led to different destinations.

Maybe next time.
