If
If money, age and time were no object... what would you really like to do?
Why? Why didn't you? |
I would love to have had a doggie hotel, one of those fancy ones, with tv/radio in the rooms, swimming pool, onboard groomer, and only offer the best, of the best.
Why: because dogs are my passion! Why i didnt: because i dont have the guts. |
I want to travel around the world.
Why? I just love to travel and I haven't been far out of Canada yet. I love to see how other people live, and how breathtaking some views can be that other people wake up to every morning. You're only on earth for a short time and there's so much out there to experience! Why I didn't: It's my first year out of college, and I have crazy loans that are going to take me the next 20 years to pay off.... HOWEVER, next year I've got 3 little trips planned :) Mexico in January, Vegas in May, and NYC in November :D I'm saving my pennies right now! In the next few years I would really love to go to Europe. |
I'd love to take my family an amazing vacation they'd NEVER forget...to all kinds of exotic and beautiful places they wouldn't be able to see otherwise. Then Bren and I would go somewhere special by ourselves...;) :D
Why? Because I love to travel and I love to spend time with my family. I love seeing them happy and being able to do something nice for them. This would accomplish all of those things! Why haven't I? Because I'm a poor college student and something like that would be super expensive! LOL! Also, with mom being sick, and school, and Marty (who I simply could NOT leave)...I just have too many responsibilities to be able to go away like that... |
I would love to travel, especially to tropical places. I love the beach and swimming and I would love to learn how to scuba dive and snorkle.
The reason I don't is because my husband is self-employed and everything has to go back into our business. There's a real stress about being your own boss and paying the bills. We do take vacations but they're usually the kind where you stay in a camper, tent, or a cabin, and don't get me wrong, they're fun but to actually stay somewhere really nice and near the water and having someone else worry about the cooking and cleaning sounds so appealing to me. I just hope that someday I get to go on a cruise. I would love to do that!!! |
In the most graceful form, I would want to ballroom dance to beautiful music. I'm not one to travel too far, never overseas, I'm pretty simple.
|
If i had the money...
I'd remodel an old country barn and live in it. Make it into a bed and breakfast. But I don't have the money or the time. Raise my own cattle and chickens. Why: Because I love the Country. Fresh air.......So be it. It's just a dream.:( |
If time and money were no object, I would have a gift shop on hwy 1 in Washington or Northern California, right on the edge of a cliff over looking the ocean. The shop would have a balcony that I could sit and watch the sun set with the whales and seals swimming.
All of my customers would be happy and love to shop. I would have a house not to far away and my daugther and her family would live close by so the grand kids could come stay with me for the summer. Why, because I do not like the plains, there is not enough trees, mountains and ocean for me. Why didn't I: I had a baby at 20 and life began. I still hope to do that when we retire. |

That is so sweet, Janet. I love to watch ballroom dancing, it's indeed very graceful. You, and hubby can always take classes. I wish my DH would, but he is more into my son's kind of music :rolleyes: can you believe it, at hes age :rolleyes: |

You never fail to crack me up! How i wish you lived next door to me! |
My husband can't dance worth a lick! He has absolutely no rhythm! He hardly ever dances with me even in the privacy of our home with no one else home. And you'd NEVER get him to dance in front of a camera!!!! NO WAY! But you girls go ahead and post the videos I'd love to see them.

Brendon is funny. He has TONS of musical talent; great voice, plays guitar and a bit of piano, even led music at a church as his job for a while, but the poor boy just can't dance! lol |
I would buy tons of land, that would triple/quadruple in price if not more, that way I can travel the world and never really work! :D I would take my hubby, my family and his, and go traveling around the world.
I haven't because I don't have the money to buy a ton of land. If I could time travel back 10-20 years, I would totally buy land..lol |
I really have t think about this one Tink because I do have the time now to do whatever I want. I don't have the money, but for me, these are real choices.
I can do whatever I want for the rest of my life. I know I'm going to move to the country. (If I had the money, I'd buy a yacht and go to places like Tahiti, the Galapagos Islands, etc.) I'll have to get back to you on this. |

Imagine walking where Darwin did his work? I love him - his theories are exquisite. I just heard he was a serious druggie???? I think I'll Snopes that.
I also want to see whales. I love whales! |
I've heard that Darwin was the product of 3 generations of inbreeding and he himself married his first cousin. The family was very wealthy and The men, while mostly physicians and mortgage brokers, were quite feared because they were hugefor the time... well over 6 feet tall and over 300 lbs... and were known to go into fits of rage, suffered from mental illnesses and were known to be abusive toward women and children. He's known to have been a poor student, took thrill in killing birds and other animals just for the fun of it, and yet would pass out at the sight of human blood.
ODD man... It's because he was so odd that I remember these things about him. lol |
Quote:
Oh yeah! He was quite insane. Poor crazy genius. Look at http://www.icr.org/article/112/ if you want to scan it. He was nuts! I still love him. His work was brilliant. (I've managed to adapt his theories to include God so I'm quite comfortable with them. He should have called me. I would have shared this with him and maybe he would have felt better. Oh well.) |

I've heard that Darwin converted to Christianity before he died, but I'm not sure how accurate that information is. |
He was freaked out over his own observations because it was either Creationism or nothing at that time. Over the years, I also think many people have learned to see God's role in evolution as in everything else.
That's not to say that those who believe exclusively in one or the other are wrong. When I taught high school Biology, I was very careful not to step on my student's toes. I would explain to them them that they had to know about evolution to pass the Regents. They did not have to believe in it. I always told them that it's usually best to believe what your parents taught you. Most of them did believe exclusively in Creationism. I would never explain my personal beliefs to them. I told them it would only confuse them. They were really good about learning about evolution once they realized nobody was forcing them to believe in it. I think that's the problem now - people want everybody to believe what they believe because they feel their own beliefs are right, and, therefore, the only way. |
Sounds like you balanced the class with personal freedom very well! Way to go!

On Darwin: "Inbreeding" among cousins, even first cousins, has been shown not to create monsters through genetics.
If money and time were no object - I would finish my books, have a grand studio with rooms for paint, fabrics, writing, clay, wood... I would travel with my guys. We could also afford to go for the specialized medical treatment that would make our lives so much easier. |
