I'm happy with "now" too. Otherwise, I did really enjoy 1979-1982 !

Maybe look after my heart a little better but even there genetics played a major part and I wouldn't want to change them.
Sounds corny but I'm pretty happy with how my life turned out.

Re: If you could live any time....
I think I would like to split mine up, a year or two in the roaring twenties say around 1925, another year in the thirties to see what it was like leading up to WW2, another year in the late 40's to see how same people still around from pre-war had changed as an observation on human behaviour... or just nosy maybe
Then I would spend about 5 years in the fifties just cos girls clothes were so cool with the poodle skirts and scarves, plus I was always impressed when watching footage of the complicated/demanded Rock & Roll dances they did! I figure would take me atleast 5 years to get the hang of any of those dance routines
I say I'd want to spend a year in the 60's, but knowing the times, I'd probably get into a heated debate about flower power and the establishment, next thing I'd know, i'd probably be hot boxed or slipped something and spend the next 3 years on a "trip" of a different sort
Then I'd want to come back to exactly this time and continue living my life with all that extra knowledge of the past. Hopefully the shrooms and buds will not have had permanent damage on my brain by then

Re: If you could live any time....
1976-1982 in a constant loop would do nicely thanks
But I would like to be about 32 yrs old to enjoy them properly as they were wasted on a teenager. Old head on young, ahem, shoulders.................. marvellous combination
