OT Poll, Your favorite time period
OK, we've talked about everything from politics to Puke and Tesco's Chili, so how about
If you had a choice and could go back in time, or if you just like a particular era, which one would you choose.

Re: OT Poll, Your favorite time period
I went with Rome. Always wanted to know what Rome and Athens looked like before the wars and sackings and earthquakes.

Or a combination thereof.

Re: OT Poll, Your favorite time period
LOL, reminds me of my youth. I went to a military prep school in the southern part of the state where there was also a large Amish community. On weekends we’d go to the Amish farm market and goof around. Some of the Amish girls looked kinda cute in the black old time dresses and little hats, especially after being cooped up all week with 500 other guys…………….until they smiled.  It’s was always about that time that the male side of the family would show up, looking like the offensive line for a pro football team and smelling about like one too. Not to mention, looking upon us as heathen barbarians bent on deflowering their virgin daughters and sisters. Well I guess they were partly correct in their thinking. At any rate, I don’t think dentistry and personal hygiene products are big sellers with them. And they are more or less hold overs from the 1800's. So they tend to let you see what things were like back then.

Re: OT Poll, Your favorite time period
im a big fan of right now. sure, i like to study about the past and wonder how things unfolded. i like to speculate about what might be.
but everything that has gone before has conspired to create the present moment. and the modern perspective is our platform for imagining the future. and if that wasnt cool enough, the trump is that *now* is all we have really got.
so take some time to enjoy it while we're all here.
