February 16th Question of the Day:

 

What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years?

"What time is it?"

 

I say this from experience after both major and minor surgeries.

 

After I get my bearings, a flood of questions will follow.

If you could make a 20-second phone call to yourself at any point in your life present or future, when would you call and what would you say?

I would say, “Sell !”

 

(I once had a stock that went from $60 to about $130 and that was when I should’ve sold the whole position.)

"You know that person you love that has that bad habit you hate? It's going to end them. For the love of all things holy, somehow get them to stop"

"Don't sell your dual lands.  Sure $25 buck a piece seems like a lot now, but trust me, hold on to them...."

I'd be calling up teenager me and saying "Don't smoke that cigarette. No one thinks it's cool, you're going to waste depressing amounts of money and I guarantee you're going to really regret it."

20 years old, "Don't date Debbie..."

LOL. One of my options is "Don't date Beckie" 

I think, though, that my call would have to be to to myself in 1988, and would be "Go ahead and buy that condo.  And the girl you're looking for is named Kimberly and she's from CO" 

As Kimberly and I didn't meet until 1999, that could be an awkward 11 years for me, but at least I'd ignore Beckie.

Nope, nuh-uh, you're not gonna trick me. I'm  not gonna answer that question. 

 

Answering that question is how we get Terminators. It may still happen,  but at least it won't be MY fault.

I'd call mid-90's me and try and impress upon him the importance of education.

Knowing me, he probably wouldn't listen, but it would be worth a shot.

Hmm, well, I wouldn't want to create some sort of butterfly effect and change much in my life right now; so I suppose I'd just look up the winning Powerball numbers for a week that didn't have any winners within the past few months and tell myself to go play those numbers.

You didn't meet any other Kimberly in the intervening years that might inadvertently derail your current history?  That seems like a dangerous gamble, especially with your new condo! :lol:

 

edited to add:  Ironically, I knew a Kimberly from Colorado that might be around your age range (or a little older).

LOL!  Not that I recall. I was living in CA at the time, and most of the people I knew/met were from there.  It's a risk, but you can say quite a lot in 20 seconds, so I could give a few more details, such as mentioning her tattoo.
