Thrust Back In Time! Could You Handle The Truth?!

Have you ever thought, "I definitely could have been born in an earlier time."? I'll answer that question for you. OF COURSE YOU HAVE! Everyone has. But, are we being honest with ourselves? Think about it... Nowadays, we have:
-Cellphones
-Toilet Paper
-Internet
-Deodorant
-Television
-Computers
-Shampoo
-Facebook
-Hot Water
-Sliced Bread
-Showers
-Soap
-Dishwashers
-Hospitals
-Hair Products
-Microwaves
-Washers and Dryers
-Toilets
-Air Conditioning
-Refrigerators and Freezers
-Tweezers
-Radio
-Razors
-Antibiotics
-Equality
-Vehicles
-The option to brush our teeth...
-Etc.

I think you get my point. We've become spoiled to our generation. For some, if they were inadvertently thrust back in time by some kind of  failed NASA experiment, they would adjust quickly to the environment. As for the rest of us... Probably not so much.
I've always said that if I were to go back in time to say... the twenties, I would fit in no problem. I would enjoy myself immensely. People have even told me that I look like I could be from the early nineteen hundreds. If I went back in time with no way to come back to the future, I think I might die. Literally. I would probably get shot by someone in a gang, or ingest dirty water and get some kind of infection that my immune system has never been trained to fight off and/or I would surely die of tuberculosis (which was very common back then).
I wouldn't be upper class either. Not even upper-middle class. I wouldn't even be middle class. It would be my luck that I would be out on the streets trying to get people to give me bread. (Maybe not that far...)
Then AGAIN! I have information from the future. My very existence would create a ripple effect in history anyways.. I might as well make it a drastic one, right? I'll invent the traffic light! The Stop sign! Other things! Then I will be know as the smartest woman in History! Either that, or men will just take my ideas and roll with them... Although, they weren't my ideas in the first place, so I wouldn't really have the right to complain.

ANYways... If you went back in time, what era do you think you would be able to adapt to in the easiest possible way? Do you think you would be able to live a long and happy life in that era? Do you think I forgot  anything in my list? Comment below and like my post. Thanks. (:

The Same, Dreadful Spot

When we go to Wal*Mart or Target we usually have an idea of what we're going to get. It might be milk, batteries, toilet paper, actual paper, dog food, light bulbs, a T-shirt, a lamp, etc. We plan to get it and get out. So, we go in, walk to where-ever our needed product is, look about the shelf to make certain that we are purchasing the right thing, make sure we have the correct funds in our pockets or purses, grab it, and walk away. But, wait! (What? That was everything...wasn't it?) No, it wasn't, dear reader, for we all always seem to end up in the exact same, dreadful spot... The Check-Out line!!

(Why is that so dreadful?) I'm glad you asked.

Be it long or short, there's a point in that period of time from the end of the isle to the cashier where our eyes seem to wonder. What do you think they see? (Well, what ever is in the isle, I suppose.) Right! There is always something there that we feel we need. We didn't know we needed it until we got to this very spot! There's candy we didn't know we craved, magazines we didn't realize we were interested in, gum we didn't think we needed, drinks we didn't assume we thirsted for, and other amazing things we didn't even consider when we walked through the door. All of a sudden, we're reaching for our wallets, digging through our purses, and burrowing through our pockets, to see if we have just enough to purchase what we recently discovered we longed for.

Sometimes, we are victorious and we have enough money to obtain what we desire and we walk out of the store with a gleam of satisfaction across our faces. But, have you really won? You probably spent your last dime on your craving. What can you purchase now? (Nothing?) Nothing at all.

Other times, we don't have the cash, and we walk away disappointed and down-hearted.

These are the evils of the Check-Out line! BEWARE!!!
