Ann Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 If you had to give up the use of one sense what would it be and why? Touch, taste, sight, hearing or smelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Smell. Ann, could it just be bad smells? Sight would be the absolute last by leaps and bounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm with you, Ginny. Although there are some wonderful things to be smelled, it seems that I could do without the good or bad smells, if necessary. Like you, sight would be at the absolute bottom of my list.

Shelley (MLC) Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Definitely Smell....my allergies are so bad all year long, I can never smell anything anyway! Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I would say taste, not hard after to keep on a diet, as long as the food is sane all would taste neutral. I already lost 75% hearing that can be restore to only 50% with hearing aids. Easy for me to know when people get near me just by my sense of smell even when I don't hear them (back of me) would miss it a lot.

Ry Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I would choose smell too. Although, with my cooking I should probably choose TASTE! Hearing and sight would be the most difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Just wanted to let you guys know, if you lose your sense of smell, your taste goes with it! My Dad was in a brawl during his younger years and lost his sense of smell/taste. Now we look at his loss as a Godsend; he tolerated chemo and that awful metallic taste that accompanies treatment very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Taste! Then I wouldn't crave all the things that add inches to my belly instead of years to my life. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Taste definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Maybe Hearing that way i would not have to listen to all the bad new's in this world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyk Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Taste... As long as I could keep smelling all the good things (and hoping not to find one of the bad ones!) I don't think I'd mind not tasting them. I know I couldn't go without seeing, hearing, or feeling something I touched. It's a phobia of mine (and Mom's it turns out!).
