What would you do if you KNEW you would succeed, quaranteed.
I heard that a few times and a preacher said it recently.
I think I'd get married again. I'm divorced now and just don't have any faith in marriage or any man for that matter.
If I KNEW I could trust a man and that he really loved me, I'd like to do that. I really can't believe it would happen.
What about you? What would you do? Anything you think about....job, businness, kids, etc.

I'd be an archeologist or a large animal vet. I alternated between the two of those all my young life. I still like them both equally :)

I would travel on my own across the world, then come back and take on the task of using all the waste in the this country to feed, clothe, shelter all the homeless and underpriveleged here in the USA and then I would move to the beach, in my little cottage and make aprons and sell organic pet treats.
Cheers,

| Linda, I agree with you and the man thing. I've been married three times and all three ended in divorce. The third husband was on wife #3 (me) and is now working on #5. I'm not going there. But being able to trust my judgement in men is frustrating and I've given up. I'm now alone, have been for 12 years, and except for Penny the Pooch I'll probably end up that way. Anyone have any suggestions otherwise? |

ohhhhhhhh .. jus' offa' the top of my mind .. i'd love to do 'space' exploration .. knowing all would be SAFE and i'd return home to my loved ones with awesome stories to tell .. GOSH .. i'd also love to explore the depths of the OCEAN .. but THAT scares me more than going into far space! but if i knew i wasn't going to get chewed on by a shark or some such critter .. it would be awesome!

I would adopt 12 more kids (I would have a magically bigger house, right????) and would run a U-pick farm with flowers, veggies and herbs and a farm stand.

I have another one. I'd go back to Alaska where I lived for 8 years.
Many things I loved about it. The cold and snow was extreme, but if my health would be good and basic living money was no problem, then I'd love to be there again.

I think these are all great ideas ladies- Let's go out and do the best we can!
Jonni- I love archeology and vet studies too! Actually, I love paleontology and archeology both equally. I even have a fossil in the Smithsonian that I found and it's named after me (or will be once the guy gets around to it!)
I want to start my dream farm and help the community by offering classes a couple of times a week that are for at-risk kids. But I am going to do it even if it fails miserably!

Aunt Jenny,
I'm with you--except the 12 kids thing--I have 4 and that's enough for me. But the U-pick farm and farmstand, cut flowers, veggies, herbs, eggs...you name it. We're working toward that very goal as we speak. We have a great little farm and a 100 year old farmhouse to go with it. BUT if I could do anything I'd love to be write and travel.

I am totally with you Jenny..at least 12 more!
I would live on a working farm and teach others how to live off of the land, enjoy having their children around, teaching them the forgotten skills.
I love the "pioneer" era so part of our farm would incorporate a little village.
Or move to Guatemala and work in an orphanage and farm the ground so the children would eat well.
Plus they have good coffee.. Oh and the beautiful woven fabrics!

I would be either an interior designer or a art photographer. I studied photography for many years, but the college loans and getting married and etc, etc. made me abandon that idea and go for a sensible job - though I feel that maybe when I retire I will pick up the camera once again. I still photograph from time to time for fun. The interior design, well that is a "pipe" dream - at least I can use my creative thoughts on my own house, so I don't feel totally without rewards in that area.
