1 Sense gone

I you had to spend from now til the end of your life without 1 sense ... which one could you stand to loose and why.. here are your Choices:

1) Eye site
2) smell
3) hearing
4) taste
5) touch

um...come on!

smell would definately be the obvious choice.

taste

Really? I love smell.

Smell of race gas in the morning or freshly cooked bacon, eggs, pancakes, bread, toast, cakes pizza

the smell of womens perfume, their frabric softener, their soap

the smell of fresh cut grass, rain in the forest, the smell a lake has in the evening just after the sun goes down

a set of freshly washed sheets

there are so many things I associate with smell that I can just smell them and I am back at that moment. Maybe that is why it is a memory sense.

YOU sure you would loose smell? Your mind can forget faces, places, but your nose never forgets a smell

the question isn't about that so much... as you
can say that about any of the senses you choose
to remove.

the question is which one you prefer to lose.
evidently tg doesn't place that much value on
the sense of smell....

True it is about WHAT you would loose not me. I just figured he rushed into the thought so I thought that maybe I would remind how much you use smell.

or for you for that matter..... CHEEEEEEEESEEEEEEE, a nice glass of wine, freshly cooked food, gummy bears, snow cone??? HMMMMMMMM

i didnt rush into anything.

i love a lot of things involving smelling....such as shatzy's hair.

however lets look at the alternatives! SITE! TOUCH! HEARING!

C'mon..this is a no-brainer.

I contemplated choosing taste...and to be honest...it's probably a toss-up between those two.

the thing with taste, for me, is....

i'd rather smell... as i love to smell flowers
and cinnamon, and oranges, and paper....

and yes, i love my sense of taste as well...
but if i didn't have taste, i wouldn't be forced
to be so choosy in what i ate... and i could
eat better than i already do without much hassle.

i'd still not eat okra though.... or sauerkraut...
cuz i could smell that shit

Now see I would have opted for hearing. I have heard about everything and sound doesnt thrill me as much as it use to and so much i can do with out it. I just doesnt provide the big thrill the rest do and besides I am almost totally deaf in my right ear anyhow so half way there

but losing your hearing makes communication so much harder and essentially that is the essence of life
