If you could have the above what would it be. I would like to experience being young, fit ,slender and beautiful just to know how that feels. Oh yes with long blonde hair too.smile

Just for a day and not a minute more I’d like to be Richard Branson and see how it feels to run a huge business empire.

Illness and pain free

I’d like to speak my mind all day, with no repercussions afterwards.

Jaxjacky has given me a light bulb moment.

I'd like to be a GN moderator for the day. I'd need the full 24 hours to sort out a few things. No tea or dinner breaks!

The main task would be to instigate the long list of GN changes that were suggested by posters months ago. There would certainly be a tightening up on the "General Ps and Qs" Talk Guidelines and as for deletions ...

I'd go back to my teaching job for a day, just to remind myself how I loved it.

muse what dedication to GN, to spend your day doing that!

As you've got that sorted, I'd be a professional dancer (not ballet) on a day when we have three shows to do (and I do already know what I'm doing in them).

Albatross would be wonderful too, tho.

I’d like to go back in time, too, but billions of generations, back in a direct maternal line to when my multi-billion-times maternal ancestor was a fish.

Yes, I know I’m weird, but wouldn’t it be interesting? Especially if I could stop off en route to see the intervening ape, small mammal, reptile, amphibian.

I would love to go back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, my favourite historical periods, and meet my ancestors from those times.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 13:48:15

witzend my head is firmly stuck in the sand and I refuse to believe that I am descended from fish, apes or anything else! I fully accept that other people’s were of course (no offence intended anyone!)?.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 13:48:57

Sorry ‘other people were’…

Gwenisgreat1 Sat 06-Nov-21 13:52:40

I'd be a fly on the wall - keeping out of the way of swatters, assuming I lived that long!!

Magic powers, please. The grass can cut itself, shrubs can prune themselves, etc. I could just stand back while the food prepared itself, the house become dusted and vacuumed with no effort from me except a polite request.

Next day I'd have to go back to doing these things but a rest from them all would be good.

Mr. S. and I being GP's to our GC.

Grandmafrench Sat 06-Nov-21 14:32:47

And your day should last a lifetime, Smileless

PollyTickle Sat 06-Nov-21 14:43:52

What a lovely thing to say to Smileless Grandmafrench, may I echo your sentiment and hope it comes true one day.
Your thoughtful and intuitive posts are much missed elsewhere.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 15:02:05

A lovely comment Grandmafrench and I hope that day lasts forever too.

JaneJudge Sat 06-Nov-21 15:05:35

I'd like to be a cat

timetogo2016 Sat 06-Nov-21 15:05:40

I would love to be invisible for a day or read minds,that would be fun.

I’d like another day with my children when they were 5 and 3

This is such a beautiful answer and exactly what I would choose too.

Blinko Sat 06-Nov-21 15:23:43

I'd like to be a world class ski jumper. How glorious to be airborne for those few seconds, landing perfectly in a flurry of snow. As it is, I'm terrified of heights, but wish I weren't.

Kim19 Sat 06-Nov-21 16:44:22

An extra day with my husband would do me or - maybe I'd be even more aware of his loss.

Smileless2012 Sat 06-Nov-21 16:49:05

Thank you Grandmafrench such a lovely thing to saysmile.

Thanks to you too GSM and Pollytickle.
