If Fantasy Island were real, remember I said IF, would you have gone there? Would you send someone dear to you? For those who wonder what I am talking about Fantasy Island was a program on TV. You went for a weekend and what could happen/would happen/ happened. When you left it all disappeared but you knew the outcome. Lets say you were thinking of getting married but had this feeling that all was not right. You would go and get married/be already married/ and find out what your life would end up like. So would you want to know the outcome of something you have questions about your life or let it all play out? Summer

Fantasy Island is for romantics...I'm a realist...I just let things happen when they're going to happen and ride with it. (I also tend to leap just before looking....so there again Fantasy Island wouldn't be for me...) Sorry Mr Roarke and Tatoo....

Count me out too. I never watched the show and the premise doesn't attract me now. Dorothy |

So THAT's what Fantasy Island was all about. I remember watching it, but I guess I wasn't old enough to figure it out. I just remember' the plane boss the plane...... In answer to the question, no, I wouldn't - I don't think it would be as much fun to know the answers before you really knew the question.

thats what I thought of Fantasy Island. I never did like it and thought people were stupid to set themselves up for usually unpleasant surprises. And the good endings did not require Fantasy Island. One of the most successful women I know says she never does or asks for any feedback that will not lead to positive outcomes. She constantly asks, 'how can this be done better', not 'what went wrong'. Having said all this there have been a few people in my life I would like to have sent to Fantasy Island, but they probably wouldn't learn any more there than here and I certainly wouldn't go with them.

I have a situation in my life right now that, yes, I would like to know the answer beforehand. I am trying to help a troubled teen who needs a family and the love that goes with it. He is facing the 1st anniversay of his Dear Mothers death and he has just fallen apart and the father who got him after her passing has done nothing but let him know how 'worthless' he is. I am trying but he's a tough one to get thru to and I would like to know if things will eventually be okay. other than this I can't think of anything I would have wanted an answer to before the question was asked.

grandmasue-- If you knew things were not going to be "ok" and take away what could be the only peace he has? I would think knowing how things are going to turn out would change the outcome in almost any situation so what would be the point? Just a thought. Dorothy |

hi Dorothy, I do have to agree with you, and a thought to 'think" ..... is if we knew it would be okay, or even not okay would we put the real effort forth to make it happen in the end? I guess what I was trying to do is take a short-cut thru the hurt my heart feels for this young man

When I was going through my terrible divorce from my husband of 25 years I had made the statement of "I wish I could have gone to Fantasy Island to see this is where my marriage would end"..Did I mean it? Yes I did for it was a very hard time for me and my children. Now that I have been divorced for 9 years, do I feel the same? No. Would I want to go to Fantasy Island to see the outcome of something? Probably not.
