@meggyme San Diego is a nice city. My brother lives there. It’s just a cool, chill spot.
@meri-mac Im scared of heights, so flying is a no-go for me, but I love that you’re thinking out of the box. If I can possibly use it to finesse powers, maybe I should compete in the Olympics
I think I would quit my job and have a small animal rescue farm. Take in all the animals, dogs, pigs, goats, horses....you name it! To have a family living farm life would be amazing.
@CatLady2015@sparklingdiamond Have you two ever heard of "Intuitive Eating"-it might interest you. I learned about it earlier this year and it has been life-changing. If you like to read, the book is great! If you like to listen, "RD Real Talk" podcast did a 10 episode series on it starting in January 2018. "Food Psych" is another great podcast that shares it's belief system.
Now...anything? I love the idea of being an official running coach, but I think that I could eventually do that. Something I would love to do that I don't think I could do would become a cheerleader for a professional football or basketball team. My coordination and flexibility are pretty brutal. I took a dance class once...it was interesting
@TJtheGoat Lactose intolerant buddy right here! I’ve gotten to where I don’t even really like ice cream though and can eat cheese in small doses so I’m not sure I would ise my “wish” on that. But it is tempting.
Pick a job I knew I would love that often doesn’t hold a guaranteed sense of security (at least in my anxiety ridden mind). Like open my own food truck, bar, or florist. I love making random mixed drinks for my friends. I just tell them to pick the type of liquor they like and I find random crap in the house to mix it with. We came up with the idea of having a bar called “Pick your Poision” where people could come and do the same thing and get a surprise drink. I think I would love that job!
I would have picked a different major in University. I totally took the safe route because I was lazy and scared of flunking out. I did the bare minimum because a mediocre result was easier to swallow if I knew I only half-assed it. If I was guaranteed success, I’d have gone into social work.
Part of me thinks I’d go back in time and maybe change the way I approached dating in my teens, because I was so painfully shy and awkward that fear of rejection was crippling. But then I also don’t know that I’d be where I am today (with my soul mate) so I have no regrets there.

@TJtheGoat@JLaVO888 another lactose intolerant sufferer here. If the question was “what would you eat if you knew you wouldn’t get sick/fat” then my answer would probably be old white cheddar or whipping cream out of the bowl. lol.

@kiki047 & @navete it’s one of MH and my favorite day-dreams! But I’m pretty sure our mothers would lose it if we ever got serious about moving that far away!
@navete usually St John or St Thomas - since our mom’s are use to having us within an hour & a half drive I think they would freak! or try & move in with us!
Re: GTKY Friday 6/15
I would do something to get MH stationed back in San Diego forever. I miss CA.
I would fly!

@meggyme SD is so beautiful. We just left SoCal. Hopefully you can find a way back.
@catlady2015 I think you nailed it! How amazing it would be to eat whatever.
@catlady2015 @sparklingdiamond I think you guys are on to something there. I would definitely be a cupcake junky!!
@TJtheGoat Yup, and win it big too!

If I can't go back in time, I steal @TJtheGoat's answer and play the lottery.
