Time Travel

The other day on the radio, they were asking the question,

"If you could time travel, past present or future, where would you go and why?"


So, I'm driving and thinking about it, not really paying any attention to where I was going. I think the car got home on Auto Pilot!

I think I would go back to April/May of 1983.

I would still be with Baby Daddy. Now, it's not that I want to be with him NOW, but that time for us was really good, and I would want to tell him to stay away from the bar he robbed and to get his act together.

I often wonder "what if?" What if he had never robbed that bar and got sent to prison? what if we had stayed together and raised our girls? What would our life be like? would he ever get it together? would he still be such a cheater and have babies all over the place with other women? Would I have gotten smart and said ,"Enough!"?

Don't get me wrong, I love my husband. alot. We have been together for 23 years and we have a life together, ya know? good and bad, ups and downs, births and deaths, money and no money, vacations, memories....he's the love of my life. But there is always that nagging thing in the background...What if?

Especially now that I have Betsy and Rae is married....what would their father think of this? Would he be involved in their lives if he was still alive? I wish he was, for Betsy's sake. Not so much for Rae, cuz she is a Daddy's Girl all the way and her Daddy is my husband. But I think Betts would like that knowledge of him and what he was life, and his take on her adoption and stuff.

My husband said something once, that he thinks it's "really weird" that Bruce Willis and Demi Moore are so friendly and that they're both remarried but still do things together. he said he could NEVER do that. NEVER EVER. It would be too strange. so I wonder if it would really be that way? would Baby Daddy be welcome in our home, like for Christmas or something, so everyone could be together? I would have no problem with it, cuz I'm secure in where I'm at, but maybe my husband isn't so secure?.....I don't know.

so there's the question:

If you could time travel, past present or future, where would you go and why?

MMMMMMMMMM good one. Back to when I was 19, in love and really stupid. I don't know how I would change things..because those days taught me a lot! (and the sex was well, freaking fantastic!)

I wouldn't want to go back to any time in my own life, because. lets' face it: Benn there, done that. And if I went back in my life and changed something, made a new or different choice, would I still be where i am today, because I like it here and now.
So, ramble aside, i'd go back to New York City in the 1920s and 30s when it was exploding with new life and new adventures. It was a completely new world from what it had been, and not the place it is today.
New York, baby.

i'd love to go back to 1980 for awhile just to relive some really happy childhood memories when my brother was still alive.

I would go back to 1997 and tell myself to skip the University experience, don't waste the money, and go straight to massage therapy school. And to NEVER let my boyfriends have access to my credit card-EVER!

I don't think that would really change much, except that we'd be out of debt today and living on our OWN.

Hindsight. It's a wonderful thing, but not so useful if you don't learn from it, I guess..

Just telling it like it is said...

Ohhhh..My love but he saved you and the girls that day he robbed and was sent to prison...
Just think if he hadn't done thoughts bad things he would have hurt you way more than he already did...

I don't know I would want to go back to anytime. I have loved all ares of my life so far and have been very happy. Now I would like to erase some!

Dan said...

I would go back to the early 95. Not that I want to change anything. I think that everything I have done in the past is what has made me who I am today, and that I am pretty damn happy about.

I just want to be in my mid 20'2 again!

I miss the strength, speed, and endurance of being younger... Having a full active day in the prime of life just once more..

If I could go anywhere in time, I'm just not sure where I would start to insure Brice didn't end up where he is. I guess I could have made him live with me, cause it all started when he moved to Texas when he was 13. Or, I could go back just five years and not get married again so Kekoa could live with me and I could "make" him go back to school. Or, I could have used protection that one night with Miles when I got to Hawaii, then not married him and my life would have been so different I can't even imagine it, but who knows, it could have turned out worse!!! So I guess I would say, if I could go back, it would be the first time Chris and I went to Panama City Beach for a week and I had the BEST time of my life. That is one week I could no over and over and over. And hell no I wouldn't want to go to the future.

As for your other thing, there is no way in hell I would want to hang out with that ex-bitch of Chris's. Hell, she'd probably plant a bug in the house so she could listen to every converstation!
