Welcome to the discussion thread for August. This thread will be up and running until the end of the month. Now, on to the topic.

Scenario:

You have gone to visit a relative you didn't even know you had. While poking around in their attic, you find a strange contraption. After some tinkering, you discover it's a real, working time machine. The problem is, it only has enough power to get you to one time period and home again.

Discussion Questions:

~ Where/when would you go and what might you do?
~ Would you go to witness a specific event?
~ Would you try to meet a specific person (family member, famous person, etc.)?

For me, I'd go back and try to meet Jane Austen. She is one of my favorite authors, as my falling apart copies of her novels will attest. xD I'd also snag some of those lovely Empire dresses.

I would LOVE to travel to the court of Henry VIII. I just want to see for real how it is they went about daily life under the rule of that crazy man. Lol. Well, that and I would want to jack all their clothing wink pirate

I have a feeling most of us would go to a time where we could come back loaded down with awesome clothes. xD

I'd want to see the Titanic or the Victorian/Edwardian time period. Be able to live in that time period for a short amount of time.

...I'd also love to snag some of those lovely clothes.

Honestly I would want to go to , well I think Im with Sparrow , I woud totally go to see Henry the 8th's court , but maybey late in his reign. I would still be very paranoid of never getting home or getting the plague. I would love to see those dresses though.
Though on second thought maybey stay right here in texas and go back to say 800 years or so. You knw back before when it was just the native americans running around. I very much love those outfits too. And the sociatey (sp?).

Visiting Native Americans before their culture was tampered with does sound like it would be incredibly interesting.
