i would go to precisely the right time and place to save my daughter.

Good choice, Tam and I definitely empathize. But would you also get to choose when and how she would eventually go?

My sis's husband developed paranoic delusions ('They're watching everything except the airport for me- I've got to get out of here' kind of thing) and left my sister devastated.

Sometime later I was in meditation and suddenly realizing that a thought was the most powerful thing in the world, I decided to 'go down' and bring them back together.

And from somewhere- a thought jolted me back: "Even if he kills her?". a postulation that had never occurred to me. It made me realize that I had no business there.

I agree wholeheartedly with you, though, that learning how to access the information and technology needed to save your daughter would have been a wondrous thing. {{{{hug}}}}

I don't know.
2) What's your best trait and how would you make it better?
I'm not sure.
3) Can you name the world's 7 natural wonders?
I know five of them- does that count? (no pun intended)
4) If you had 4 minutes with the President, what would you chat about?
I'll have to think on that; four minutes is a very short time.
5) What's the boldest thing you have ever done?
Yoiks. Ya think I'm gonna talk about that?
6) If you could teleport anywhere on earth for 90 seconds, where would you go?
Given enough time I could answer this one.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Collossus of Rhodes, The Pyramids, Great Wall of China(?)

Danielle de Niese has a pretty good set of lungs. I reckon she could stop a moose in its tracks (if she knew what one was). What's in front of the lungs is not bad either.
Seven wonders- a modern set. I'll start a set with:
Dubai

Adding to the old list
The lighthouse at Alexandra

There are several lists. One has the great Wall of China. My list would have Mae West

#1- I would like to excel at what George Soros or Warren Buffet does.

If I teleport, I only have to carry one or two gold bars for a few seconds. (Maybe into a diamond vault is better, though)

The expiring teleportation might deposit you on the street outside the vault, Bill. People are going to look at you funny with two bricks of gold on you, even if they are in your pockets. Don't do it, Bill. I beg you.

90 seconds at the right time would have had Andie on the way to the hospital as soon as I knew or suspected she had he flu or a cold. Standard procedure for someone with adrenal disease. Saline drip and cotizol injections would have averted the shock which killed her.



TheSmiler - what on earth can you accomplish in a brothel in a mere 90 seconds? I suspect only contracting some STD. Well maybe not, because women in brothels are supposed to be medically clear and very careful.

So the question remains? Minute and a half, what can you do?

Playing music. I've a decent start.

4) If you had 4 minutes with the President, what would you chat about?

Gay rights and war.

5) What's the boldest thing you have ever done?

Made albums. There's no fixing it once it's out there.

6) If you could teleport anywhere on earth for 90 seconds, where would you go?

For ninety seconds? I wouldn't bother.

7) Got a secret of your own? Time to spill the beans.

Nope. It wouldn't be a secret anymore.
