What would you do if you could freeze time?

When I was a kid there was this TV show about a girl who could touch her fingertips together and she'd freeze time. I've often wished I had a power like that. Oh the things I could do if I had the power to freeze time! I'd freeze time when my alarm clock went off, so that I could sleep a couple extra hours yet still be up on time! I'd freeze time in the middle of the day whenever I felt like I wanted a nap. I have to admit.. I'd probably break the law too and steal some money! What would you do if you could freeze time?

Can I freeze time without aging? If I age, I don't want it... But if I could, I'd do all the things that I don't have time for. Including naps! :D

I never thought about the aging factor... I think since you're not frozen in time you probably would age.

I think that I would love to experience my children again as little new born babies. I remember the way they curled into my neck and that was so wonderful. I would also like to freeze time and go back and rethink some of the parenting mistakes I made and believe me, there were many that I would have made a different decision if given the chance.

I think we all feel like that most of the time.

That's an interesting concept! I probably would be like you...freeze a little more time in the morning so I didn't have to be to work so early! LOL....then if we could just fast forward when we thawed it.....I could sail through work in no time and be paid for full time hours! LOL

Wouldn't that be great.. just fast foward through the parts of our day we want to skip.. now if only I could invent a device that would do such things, lol.

Well, a couple extra hours of sleep sure does sound like a great thing. So that would be one of the reasons that I would want to freeze time. Another time that I would like to have that ability is when I want to get some scrapbooking done because it seems like I never have the time to get the things accomplished that I would like to get done. That would be a great way to give me that extra hour in the day that I've been looking for during all of this time.

It wou;d be a fascinating feat if we could freeze time. i would use it to fix any wrongs in my life and try to turn them around. if there was a special moment in my life, i would freeze that moment to treasure it longer.

Hey...I also saw something like this on the "Twilight Zone." The outcome wasn't nice though. What I would do is something heroic. Like what Hiro does on "HEROES." Like saving someone from being run-over by a vehicle. Or preventing a crime. Things like that. Although doing something that could make money would be tempting.

Freeze time? I do no want to freeze time; I simply want to time-travel and make things right!

If I could freeze time, I would study for all my finals the same time I'm taking the test; so I guess that's cheating.. I would probably live my whole life as a youngster. Or maybe I would challenge someone to lose ten pounds before me, then freeze time and win!
