I think medication wise I am glad to be living in the present, but families seemed to stick together a lot more 100 years ago and realtionships lasted longer. It also seemed that people had more time for face to face encounters, but being mixed raced I don't think I would have been taken upon very kindly to be honest.

I would have loved to have lived back then. Although people worked harder and had a harder way of life, it was fulfilling and family oriented. There are too many things in the world today that has comercilized life and living. People had better values and morels. Crime wasn't as bad. And, as you mentioned, it would have been neat to see the new inventions for the first time. I remember listening to my aunts talk about wearing old flour sack dresses to play in. They also did not have TV's growing up. Radios were a really big deal!
I think the fashions were neat also. Ladies dressed up and wore dresses for the most part. They took pride in the way they looked.
I'm totally with you here! I would have been right at home with a garden for food and doing chores.

I would not pick to live 100 years ago, because without air conditioning, well, it just wouldn't be pretty. I'd also rather not go through WWI, WWII,... If we think a lot of soldiers were lost in Operation Freedom, we should look back to the older wars. But I would like to live about 55 years ago, in the fifties where life was just enough to be comfortable, but not jaded enough to be marred.

Nope.
I wouldn't of liked it as my time right now is ideal and I think it would be interesting to live those times but I wouldn't like going back to that point due to how hard it was then but it is somewhat now.
Confused myself.. wahaha
