Here's a little something we can give a try:

If you could live in anytime in the past; which period would you choose?

My first pick would be right before man arrived in the north american continet. To see so much land and so much wildlife must have been something....

My second choice would be right before the start of the civil war in the u.s. It's a odd choice, I admit, but something about the forces that were tearing at our country then I find enthralling. Of course, If I were living thru them, maybe they might not seem so enthralling....

Anyone else?

This is a tough one.

I am content to live in the present day with all its wonders and woes.

I wish I were younger and able to work my passage through University, as my parents were not able to finance such dreams. I would be in the medical profession as a doctor or surgeon hopefully.

Every Century has its wars and pestilence, so no...... I'm content to be here now.

Just need someone special to grow old with.

I would like to meet the Midianites and the ones that influenced the Phoenicians as they developed the concept of a phonetic alphabet. A particular Midianite named Jethro helped Moses with some society building and justice system building as Moses lead the Israelites across the desert. I think we have a group of people who were slightly ahead of their time with lots of great ideas... I would like to see what mankind may have missed from these great minds. It is also speculated that most of the Egyptian mathematicians and architects were Midianites too.

I don't have to wish about living in the past. Some people claim I'm so old that I was around about the same time as dust was invented.
