I admit I would miss the modern appliances . . . a stove for sure. I don’t like cooking to begin with but using a stove is preferable to an open fire to cook on. What I would miss least — the hustle and bustle of today’s world. We always seem to be in a hurry but it sometimes it feels like we have less times for the important things.
June 16th, 2006 at 2:29 am
Most important beside the medical stuff would be a real bathroom etc.
June 16th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
I would not miss all the fighting and terrorism and meanness going on right now.
I would miss modern conveniences going back in time.
June 16th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
the food and my friends
June 16th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
Family, friends, internet, bathrooms, air conditioning, pants(shorts), and all of my books!!!
Least would be the crime, war, and pollution.
June 17th, 2006 at 9:21 am
Most of all?…My cat!!!!!
Bathrooms, computers, jeans, nacho cheese doritos. *g*
Least? My home life. Or the life I’m living now and all the weight I’ve put on.
June 20th, 2006 at 9:07 am
I’d miss the ‘conveniences’.
I wouldn’t miss the terrorism, the ‘fast paced’ society, etc.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:21 pm
Family and Modern conveniences would be a biggie. I read a timetravel once and the woman had to shave her legs with a knife…made me grateful for my Intuition razors. I would miss indoor plumbing, toilet paper, the Internet, computers, medicine, etc.
I would probably miss pollution and the way everything is so fast-paced the least.
June 20th, 2006 at 3:04 pm
I would miss “Lost”…never seeing wet, shirtless Sawyer ever again would be a major tragedy!!
I sure wouldn’t miss the terrorism or rush hour traffic!
June 21st, 2006 at 8:33 am
LOL! Some of these are cracking me up but really shirtless Sawyer, nacho cheese doritos, and tp are all important. And yeah, I don’t even want to think about the shaving issue.
While I appreciate the convenience of modern transportation, I wouldn’t miss snarled traffic and polluiton at all. I suppose it’s all a trade-off, huh?
June 21st, 2006 at 9:28 am
Most would be family, and my modern conveniences. i could not imagine not having a bathroom with a flushing toilet and toilet paper or a shower. Good one from Jennifer. I could not imagine not having a razor to shave my legs. Least would be the terrorism.
June 21st, 2006 at 10:28 am
I’m seriously addicted to Nacho Cheese Doritos. lol! Ya think they have a group for that?
Yea, it’s a trade off. But I’d trade my Doritos for a hunky Scotsman any day!
June 22nd, 2006 at 7:37 am
Electricity, modern appliances, air conditioning, internet, automobiles, modern foods .
June 22nd, 2006 at 8:54 am
I’d definitely trade doritos for a hunky Scotsman with a big…broadsword, maybe even trade in my Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt, but no man is worth trading in air conditioning. Nuh-uh.
June 22nd, 2006 at 9:49 am
I’d miss the ability to get anywhere quickly by planes or cars. I’d miss woman’s rights… to be independent, valued. I’d miss ELECTRICITY( I can’t imagine reading by fire light…. my computer, telephones and microwave. Paper to print books with. Health care, antibiotics allowing us to live longer. Birth control giving woman choices over when to have children or not. An education for everybody!
June 22nd, 2006 at 10:51 am
no man is worth trading in air conditioning. Nuh-uh.
Preach on Sista’ Love! Like I always say, you can put on enough clothes to warm you up, but you can’t always take off enough to get you cool!
June 23rd, 2006 at 9:25 am
“but no man is worth trading in air conditioning”
Not even if he offered to fan you with palm fronds? Or bathe you in cool water?
June 24th, 2006 at 8:11 am
I would live with my hunky Scotman where the temp’s only reach high’s in the 70’s. There…no air conditioning problem solved
June 24th, 2006 at 11:52 am
“but no man is worth trading in air conditioning”
Hmmm…I live in a house with no central air in Georgia (and the capital is not nicknamed Hotlanta for nothing) and have my entire life….I think I could live without a/c for a hunky Scotsman big “broadsword” as you said. You can’t miss what you are not used to I guess.
June 24th, 2006 at 1:23 pm
I definitely would not trade in the air conditioning for the man (although, in my world he would take us to live some where where it was cooler during the hot summers…However, now that I think about it,hot temps equals less clothing and the man can walk around w/o his shirt whenever he wants…..so I’ll have to think about this no air conditioner deal
)
June 25th, 2006 at 2:56 am
Most would be my family. Also, I would miss electricity, modern plumbing, books, the internet, bookstores, modern music, my friends, and Taco Bell. What can I say, I’m easy. Buy me a book and a taco, and I’ll follow you anywhere. Just ask my husband lol.
I would least miss my cell phone, which allows the people I left the house to avoid to contact me while I’m driving 70mph. Yeah, good idea lol.
June 25th, 2006 at 8:17 am
LOL! Jennifer. “Hotlanta” makes me think of one of my favorite movies: BEAUTY SHOP.
June 25th, 2006 at 9:24 am
hmmm…since I chose to travel to the future, I don’t know what I would miss. I hope they have a faster way of commuting so I don’t have to sit in the car two hours a day to get to work. Oh, and I’d love to see self-cleaning windows and toilets. haha!
June 26th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
I’d have to say bathrooms and toiletries and medical supplies/assistance. Guess the two are kind of related! It had to be scary back in those times, one, with just the ignorance of people concerning hygiene and whatnot, but, two, they died from the most non-serious things! And just not to have toilet paper would be a nightmare!
June 28th, 2006 at 9:07 am
But think about it peeps. Back then they didn’t care if you stank or not. Baths were few and far between. Why waste space with all those toiletries? Yir gonna be in the sack wie yir hot Highlander most o’ the time anyway, right? *g*
June 28th, 2006 at 10:44 am
I think Melissa and Jennifer Y sort of hit on it. If you’ve never had ac you don’t miss it and if everyone is stinking…well, it’s just the norm. I suppose it’s all a matter of adaptability. And most excellent point that it doesn’t get that warm in the Highlands that ac is a problem. Okay, where do I sign up for the Scotsman with the big broadsword. I’ve changed my mind.
June 28th, 2006 at 12:22 pm
LOL Jen!
Oh, and Melissa…they might not care, but I would….I would have to make sure to take enough to share. B.O. can be a mood killer.
June 29th, 2006 at 9:58 am
But, Jennifer, B.O. was the norm as Jen says. Nobody cared. I think that would be so liberating not to have to worry about shaving *ugh* and primping for awhile. Besides yir big Highlander wid ‘hae terrible B.O. Wid thot stop ye from taking tae him? The smell from him, his family, his keep, his animals, and his village wid knock yir socks off! Providing ya took socks…LOL!
Ye sure ye meant tae say big “broadsword”, Jen? Heehee…
June 29th, 2006 at 11:45 am
LOL Melissa!!!
