Ann Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 If you had a time machine that would allow you to travel back in time, where and when would you hit the stop button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Emotionally, to the year before Earl was diagnosed. It was a wonderful and happy year. Historically, I would be a lady of the manor in 17th century England. Although, if I knew what I know today, (TV, computers, books etc) and didn't have them (obviously) I would have been bored out of my mind. But then again, the slow pace of life, the wonderful parties, the great dresses, how grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'd go back to 1988- the year we adopted Tyler. He was such a great baby, and so much fun. It was a great year. In history, I guess the 1940's-- great clothes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 1963 - 1990. The years between the birth of our oldest child and college graduation of our youngest. Loved those years. Historically,I think I'd stay right here where I am. Couldn't give up all the things we have today - computer, modern health care, etc, Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I would go back to a few years before Keith's diagnosis and I would get him frequent tests to catch this from the beginning and cure it instead of being stage IV at diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofcharlie20 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm with Carleen. I would definitely go back about ten years to ensure that my father's disease would've been caught earlier. If I could do that I'd be the happiest person ever. Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm with Carleen. I would have gotten Charlie a CT scan back in 1998 when his mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer instead of X-rays every year. I miss him so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I would go back to Thanksgiving Day, 1992 just so I could spend his last holiday with my dad again. Historically, I would go back to April 10, 1912, so that I could board the Titanic. My whole life I have felt drawn to stories about the Titanic, and by going back, maybe I could fulfill some sort of reverse destiny. Either that or simply drown.

Maryanne Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 It would be the day my mom went to the hospital for the last time. My sister was with her the whole day as I was working and had calls from my sis. Mom was talking funny so they took her to emergency. I got to the hospital as they were incubating her. I would have left work and been with her that day. I would not have them incubate her. To me that is what killed her has they tore hole in her esophagus which filled up with air. She blew up and it felt like rice crispies all over her body.... can't get into more about what followed but I would go back to that day. Mom may have been 94 but I know she would have lived to be 100. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
