If you could for just 6 months go back in time what age would you go back to? Why?

I would return to the age of 19. I would be in the military but that was the time I was in the right element for me. I was free, danger, excitement it was a time when I was challenge mentally, physically and emotional. It was a good age to be 19.

I'd go back to when my son was 8 months old. It was magical to watch and listen to him change almost daily, see him take his first steps, and hear him add to his vocabulary each day.

My dad passed away when I was 29, so I'd go back 6 months before he died to spend more time with him.

I'd go sometime in which I think I could make some sound investments. Then, I'd be happy to go back to the future. :D

I'd go back to freshman yr of college. Start better habits for myself and put myself on a computer science path.

...piss on that!
If you want to be involved with computers, go back in time to 1980 for 6 months and buy 5,000 shares Apple stock. At $ 22.00 a share, you'd now be sitting on a beach without a care in the world!

I mean, he might just want to be in something computer science related.

I'd go back in time to three specific occasions: Each time my wife was impregnated and make her swallow instead.

Piss on that. Go back to '75, beat Apple to the punch, no one would ever hear of a POS human being named Jobs.

Spring/summer of 2003. Tail end of my senior year in HS...graduation, carefree summer, best shape of my life (thank you, factory job), heading off to Toledo for undergrad, which was terrifying and exciting all at once.

I'd do 12. Before boys, peer pressure and middle school. Some kids (boys and girls) about that age live down the street from us. All summer long I've watched them walking and riding their bikes by our house. They're always carefree and laughing and remind me how great life was when you really don't have a care in the world.

So what else would you do the extra time? All told your only using about 3 minutes...

I'd go back a few days before my sister died and beg my parents to take her to the hospital.

Sorry to be a bummer. It was either that or the night I was part of the story that cost Colerain the 95 state title.

I meant sad like "sorry for your loss" not sad like "terrible post".

Would you go back far enough to help all those 5th year seniors graduate in 4?

I first thought I would go back to the summer of 91 and sign the enlistment papers when I was 18 and hold off on college. But I think I would go back to when my oldest daughter was younger and keep her from experiencing a tramatic event that sent her into a spiral of decline that has ruined her life.
