Hey members!

I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to jump into the week with energy. I spent mine in full nostalgia mode—my partner and I got lost in old photo albums and spent hours putting together a photo book of all our favourite memories. It's amazing how one photo can take you back to the moment it was taken, eh? For example, when we got caught in the rain during our trip, we had to take shelter in a tiny cafe. It’s those little moments that make the best memories, right?

It got me thinking: if you could hop into a time machine and visit any moment in the past, where would you go? Would you relive a memorable trip, fix a mistake, or witness a legendary moment in history firsthand? Personally, I’d love to go back to the 90s just to relive the carefree days of childhood—no worries, just fun and endless summers.

Now it’s your turn! What moment would you want to experience again (or for the first time)? Share it below!

I would love to return to 1976 Xmas eve. I'd sit with them and talk to them even if they didn't want to talk. I'd tell them that everything was going to be alright. That a little 22mth old little girl, wanted and needed her daddy in her life.
I'd get them to watch the sunrise with me.
I'd stay with them through the day. I'd not go to my parents home, for Christmas dinner.. .
and miss the time you felt so alone and left.
Suicide leaves, unanswered questions and a grief and anger. Even if our journey didn't last long , you would have had the chance to see and feel so much.

in this lifetime I always wanted to go to Holland and Ireland because I think I'd like to see what unfinished business I had. I do know that my GGrandfather was an Irish convict and tell him of his history that would take him back to King Malcolm Cullen of Scotland in 1010,
I'd also go to Salem in 1796 when I, as Margaret Barker was burned at the stake. Strange how these days so many are happy yelling that they are witches. Lucky it wasn't earlier times

Life is tough especially if you don't know the reason or didn't see the signs which some easily hide.
My Mum passed away exactly 2 months after her 90th birthday. I think I dislike birthdays and Christmas most. Her Great Granddaughter didn't miss her after a few months but she was only 2 y.o.

I am now 83 years old and I would choose to go back to when I was 18. I loved sports and split my time between playing rugby, cricket, shooting and fishing. I had just left school and started to play golf and after only one year I had a handicap of seven. Everyone said that I should give up all the other sports and concentrated on golf. However as I enjoyed them all I wasn't prepared to give any of them up. I stopped playing rugby when I was 23 and cricket when I was 33 but continued with fishing, shooting and golf. Now because I played golf only once a week I never really improved much. So the moral of this story is that I should have just stuck with golf and get good enough to become a professional. That would have taken me all over the world and I would now be a very rich pensioner. Finally, if I was an olympic athelete, I still don't know whether it is better to win a gold medal in one event or a silver medal in five events, a bit of a hard choice. In otherwords, to use an old saying, "I was a jack of all trades but master of none".

l would pick the 1950's and 1960's everyone was happy then and friendly. l would appreciate my mother more and not be so selfish as when l look back l realise l was a horrible person.
l would like to have gone to County Cork Ireland where my great grandad was born.

My auntie used a gas poker to kill herself . l was 14 and l never really found out why when she had a toddler and little baby.

I'd go back to the day I met my future husband and treasure our time together more. I'd also make sure we did everything we were going to before it was too late

I would go back to first year in High School and tell the math's teacher what a selfish jerk he was. All he did was talk about sport with the boys when many of us in the class were struggling.

I would love to go back to when I went to Mauritius on a vacation with my Daughter who was
In her teens we had a lovely apartment right on the Beach. It was so peaceful and safe in those
Times.
