Stolen from 9/21 Time:
Asked of assorted celebrities:
If you could have any super power what would you pick?
Ellen Degeneres answered: the ability to pick the fastest in at the grocery store. I think I am with her.
What would anyone else pick?

I read a question on line today...if you could have a time machine, would you go to the past or future?

My superpower would be to make days last 48 hours.
I also saw the other online question about the time machine. I picked the past. There's a few things I'd like to have fixed. I would have TTC #3 earlier and not turned down a job last year (landed in my lap). And started studying for my GRE's earlier.

I want to be like Samantha on "Bewitched" - where I can just snap my fingers and I am magically showered, dressed and ready to start my day!

Make poop disappear.
My first thought was I'd like to be able to cure Pop Tart's constipation (2+ years now, woo  )
And since that is basically making poop go away, I thought it would be really handy to expand that, to make cleaning up after our two dogs so much easier. And I could make courtesy visits to dog parks or parks where the geese spend a lot of time (Reno has a number of places like that) and just generally help out in a simple but meaningful way. (Says the girl who had to walk through a geese infested park, at night, when it was poorly lit.)

I'm a bit more greedy than you folks are.
Super power - the ability to manipulate energy, down to the molecular level.
Time travel? If there was one thing I'd fix I'd probably land in jail for it, so I'll take a pass.

The ability to see the future only as it relates to finances (I don't want to know if something bad will happen to me or my children if I can't stop it).

I would create peace on Earth.

I'm good with my superpower. It's the ability to function and thrive on almost no sleep. It was noted this week that I worked more hours but was in better shape than my coworkers. Who are half my age. At their age, I was unstoppable.

Time travel, but with that for safety measures, no ability to change anything in any timeline. I just want to be a tourist.  |

DH and I have had this conversation, lol. We both pick teleportation. Handy both for saving money and time for vacation (more trips to Europe!!!) and our commutes to work would take zero minutes.

It popped into my head when I read that. |
