Me, I want to live in an era somewhere in the future, where we are not stuck here on one little planet. Do you realize how may medical advances are coming along very shortly? Our grandkids will live to be at least 100, and probably longer. They will colonize Mars, and move out past our solar system.
Sure.......I was supposed to have my flying car by now and robots were supposed to be cleaning my house and doing all the other mindless tasks for me. Danger Will Robinson!!!
I also would choose the Victorian period. A big victorian house and loads of gorgeous dresses !!!!

I would have liked to live with the Ingal's family back in the 1840's
Shera - Laura Ingal?? LOL Too funny, I haven't heard that in years...can't believe that was my favourite show as a kid. When the older sister went blind I thought the whole show was starting to get a bit too far fetched...but anyway...
Bttt - I love old sepia photographs or sketches dating back to the early 1900's. When I look at these images, I feel like I'm in them...I have always felt this pull to that ear...I can't explain it, but I feel like I know it.

Well Dakota Ken Lark I got ya beat a little.
I was born in 1935 started school in Grants Pass Oregon. I love to go explore the old mining towns in the west. I get the strongest feelings of longing when I am there. Like another said IF there is reincarnation I think I was at one time alive in the 1800's. I am attracted to the old machinery and like to look at it and find out how it worked. I know I would have fitted right in that time period. Six gun and all.
However I recognize the advantage of todays medical system and travel etc. and am torn between the two. Realisticly I know today is a better time for life. But I seem to yearn for the past.
It makes traveling to the old mining towns and sites all the more pleasurable for me.

Stone Age: Ya roll a rock off a cliff onto a dinosaur and cut it up and take it home. Next ya find some heavy browed blonde troglodyte; club her over the head and drag her back to the cave to cook it and show her yer stone etchings afterward.
Things were simple then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The late 18th century.
I would have liked to have known Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, James Madison, George Washington etc. etc.

The nineteenth century, a lifespan somewhere in the range of 1815 to 1905, after the unpleasantness of the Napoleonic Wars, and before the unpleasantness of World War One. And of course, the underlying assumption is that I'm wealthy and healthy, not a pasty-faced peasant with consumption!

I was a teen in the 80's
I think I helped the hair spray companies stay in buisness, loved that Aqua net!
Did you have Farah Faucet hair?
Outoftheorg, Grants Pass? My grandparents live up there, I would visit them every year with my family, it's so beautiful.. I love going rafting and kayaking on the Rogue River. The beauty of that area inspired my love for nature and the environment early on.
