my current age but 75 years in the future. the medicine will be insane. nobody will get sick or die of cancer or any of that bullshit that we deal with now.
In 75 years there won't be anything but cockroaches and craters.

The other thing about times gone by, especially the old west, is the smell!! People didn't acknowledge the wonderfulness of bathing! Also trash disposal was throwing it behind the building. I'm tasting my lunch coming back up just thinking about it...
exactly...the disease...young deaths...the stench...lack of personal hygeine products, etc..no thanks. and that's just on top of the lack of choice as a woman.
anyone ever see that movie kate & leopold? yea...cheesy chick flick...but she goes back in time to 1776 i believe. ll i could think is man, if you've been alive today...hoew can a woman go back to a time with no tampons?! :eek: tmi, i know...but really. while some things VERY cool in the past...the rest, really, not so much. just thinking of all the issues....ugh...makes my skin crawl.

in regards to clothes..i love the flapper era...and i really adore the whole big wig and corset era. granted, i know the corsets were HELL to wear, the wigs to hide lice ....but i still think damn cool. i'd love to try it out for halloween sometime in any case if the costumes weren't so bloody expensive to rent!
regarding the old days like Renaissance or the old west, how would they have known they were smelling vs. clean if they had nothing to compare it to?
that's why flowers were for weddings to hide stink
(that's not true, but I got an email that said it, it turned out to be a hoax)
I think it made sense!

sure..i am sure they were accustomed to the stench, but still a stench none the less. and knowing what we do know now, i would not willingly choose to go live in such time periods as the OP asks, that's all.
perfume was invented to mask the stink tho...the wigs for the lice...etc...so they were 'aware'...hahaha.
