Ann Posted April 5, 2007 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
ginnyde Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Smell. Ann, could it just be bad smells? Sight would be the absolute last by leaps and bounds. Quote
Ann Posted April 5, 2007 Author 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. Quote
Shelley (MLC) Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Definitely Smell....my allergies are so bad all year long, I can never smell anything anyway! Shelley Quote
J.C. Posted April 5, 2007 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. Jackie Quote
melindasue37 Posted April 5, 2007 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
Sheri Posted April 5, 2007 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
kamataca Posted April 5, 2007 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
Larry Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Maybe Hearing that way i would not have to listen to all the bad new's in this world... Quote
missyk Posted April 6, 2007 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!). Quote
