Monday's Question of the Day - December 19, 2016

Would you rather see into the future or travel into the past?

I'm going to go with traveling into the past.  I think I'd rather know where I'm going than risk seeing something I don't like. 

Future. I'll be all over those winning lottery numbers. I will be a multi Powerball winner. Then I will buy a private island in the Bahamas and adopt  colonies of ferals from the Caribbean area who need someone to care for them. I will call it The Island of Misfit Kats. The island will be transformed into a cat heaven with lots of perches, covered sleeping huts and play areas. No cat haters allowed in our little section of paradise 

I would travel to the past. To be young again and double time spent with those I miss.

Ditto, my thoughts exactly!   I'd love to be able to be reunited with my parents.  I still miss them.

I thought about that because of DH but I don't think I could handle losing him again. Once was much more than enough. 

the past and fix my mistakes, as well as reliving the time with family and friends

The past, but not TOO far!  I don't want to be young again and know what I know now, I wouldn't enjoy being young NEARLY so much!

If I could go to the past and save more money than I spent (which is the opposite of what I did) I would like that.

Me too.  I especially miss my parents this time of year.

That's exactly what I would like to do. There are a lot of things I would like to do over.

What a choice!  The screw-up in me would love the chance to go to the past and fix all those mistakes I've made. With the vast number of mistakes it might be overwhelming though and would it mean that history would be changed for the worse?  A butterfly's wings and all that.

The science fiction buff in me is dying to know if we ever make it to Mars , how technology will change, if we ever meet extraterrestrials, to see if there is a technique to roll back physical age but not experience, to see if we ever have peace on earth, if we survive climate change and....to get the Powerball ticket numbers so I could have big loads of money to give to certain charities, mostly related to animal welfare.  I might bet on horse races, too.

Past! History is waaaayyy too fascinating to pass up.

past, hands down. I think about it all the time like if I had a time traveler

I'd like to go to the Past. I'm a history buff, and I would dearly love to go to a Tudor banquet, meet Henry VIII and Louis XIV.

But, it would be exciting to see what comes in the future.

i'd travel to the past. to more 'simple' times, in many ways.
