A time machine can take you back to another time period in your life. What time would you like to go back to, either to

a) relive for a bit because it was so great or
b) relive for a bit so you could change some decisions you made during that time.

Only for a bit? I would choose practicality and buy lotto that would win.

If not that the first thing I could think of is go back around 2003 when my dog passed away and I was abroad when it happened.

If not that either then it’s the 70s when I was a kid during Christmas season. I seem to recall those were my happiest days as a kid. Despite never getting the toys I wanted. Not once.

1) Back to my childhood when my grands were both alive and spoiling me.
2) My first real adult love to do thing’s differently.

Watch a game and then go back and bet on the people who will win.

I’d ditto @KNOWITALL #2. I’ll say no more, I don’t want to incriminate myself, with my wife if she sees this, or with the other woman in the unlikely event that she should ever happen across this. LOL But you asked, and so it is what it is.

I have said this before in earlier questions.

Age 21 or so – I should have stayed with and married <person A> instead of breaking up with her after college.

Instead, I married <person B> and that was a disaster.

So – I would relive and redo from age 20–24 with specific reference to girlfriends.

I vote for b, I would show my old self my future self and show him(me) to be more careful with my weight and health.
