If you have an opportunity to put anything you wanted into your own personal time capsule, what would you put in it? You don’t have to worry about anyone opening it for the next hundred years or more so all the immediate family and friends would never see what’s in it. And you can put as many items of any size in it as you’d like.

For starters I’d have some pictures, a number of news stories and events of the day, maybe a box of different nonperishable food items, and perhaps several books or magazines.

How about adding one of those new Twinkies? They don't have an expiration date printed on them. LOL

One of those metal "jacks" that kids play with - I want to make sure no father is ever deprived of stepping on one of those in the middle of the night.

I'd devise a short list of names of people I've never liked, never had any use for, and why....... followed by a long list of my favorite people and all their attributes! I think it would be a good brain-cleansing exercise.
