Health, Money or Love? (Pick just one!) LOVE. ...1. Health, Money or Love? (Pick just one!) LOVE. While I agree health is very important, I don't even want to live a single day without love. <BR/><BR/>2. Briefly imagine yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. Do you imagine yourself by a creek, river, swimming pool, lake, puddle, reservoir, pond, ocean, or someplace else altogether? Ocean. Nothing better in the entire world than the beach and ocean.<BR/><BR/><BR/>3. If you had to lose one of your senses and you could pick which one, what would you pick? Why? Again, easy - smell. First of all I have terrible allergies so can barely smell the way it is. If I had to pick another one though it would be touch. I love to eat too much to give up taste. I would give up in this order: smell, touch, taste, hearing, seeing.<BR/><BR/>4. What one thing did you do in childhood that still haunts your conscience? What haunts me from childhood is what other dids, but yeah I do have a few regrets and wish I was more honest with people back then. <BR/><BR/>5. A life without books or a life without electronic media? Life without books - hey I'm an IT person, I can't live without electronic anything! I would rather read books on my computer or have them read to me via a CD.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583084411313447932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-14306602420262681622009-03-26T06:55:00.000-07:002009-03-26T06:55:00.000-07:00Health without a doubt for the reasons you mention...Health without a doubt for the reasons you mentioned.<BR/>I agree on the ocean. <BR/>I think I would give up taste if I had to pick one.<BR/>Oh number 4.

Health, Money ...These are really tough questions!<BR/><BR/>1. <B>Health, Money or Love? (Pick just one!)</B> This is too difficult. I don't think that we could live without one of them. So, I just can give you my order: Love (I agree to Beck that a life without love would be unhealthy), Health and Money (As much as I would love to spent my life without it, I must admit that many aspects depend on it nowadays ;p).<BR/><BR/>2. <B>Briefly imagine yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. Do you imagine yourself by a creek, river, swimming pool, lake, puddle, reservoir, pond, ocean, or someplace else altogether?</B> I love nature, but it would be a river leading to the ocean. I love the philosophy of the stream.<BR/><BR/>3. <B>If you had to lose one of your senses and you could pick which one, what would you pick? Why?</B> That's not a pretty thought. Definitely not my sense of touch, sight or hearing. I'm also going for smell, like you Suzanne. I think losing the sense of taste would have a great impact on my appetite and health.<BR/><BR/>4. <B>What one thing did you do in childhood that still haunts your conscience?</B> I can't think of anything.<BR/><BR/>5. <B>A life without books or a life without electronic media?</B> I'm confused too, like Kelly. As much as I would like to live without electronic media, I don't know if I could do it without them anymore. It includes such a wide variety from television, digital photography, telephone, computer, Internet etc. But I know that getting addicted or dependent to this high-tech devices makes us less interactive with people and nature around us. Sometimes kind of lazy, too ;).RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425443102217805623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-35951577257126604952009-03-25T19:37:00.000-07:002009-03-25T19:37:00.000-07:001.

As a kid, I spent my summers at a lake and its serenity and secrets have stuck with me.<BR/>3. This year I have lost my sense of hearing, smell, and taste. It's a tough call because without my sight, I couldn't work. Without hearing I couldn't hear the beautiful voice of my daughter. When I lost my sense of taste, I lost my will to eat. So I guess it would have to be smell - although I realized how much I depend on that for safety (is the milk bad, is there a gas leak, smell of smoke etc.).<BR/>4.

I would hate to think I couldn't smell the flowers, fresh rain, etc. and I could lose a few pounds.<BR/><BR/>4. Once, I took $5 from the purse of my favorite aunt. I have no earthly idea why I took it and she never found out (or maybe she knew and just didn't want to get me in trouble). Part of the ways I was raised was to never steal and never disrespect people, and I did both. I've never forgotten it.<BR/><BR/>5.

For sure I'd keep sight; I guess it'd be a toss-up for the other four.<BR/>4. In kindergarten there was a little playhouse on the playground that I never went in 'cause only the cool kids played there. I think it's funny that even in kindergarten I had a sense of who the cool kids were, and I stayed away from them.<BR/>5. Tough choice, but I guess I'd do without the electronic media.

Once you're physically and mentally healthy the other two things just sort of fall into place!<BR/><BR/>2. It's a very specific spot for me. My very first time attempting to take photos of nature! I went on a camping trip with my brothers and friends to go dirt biking and such. My brother took me on the dirt bike to a lake that was absolutely GORGEOUS!! I got off the dirt bike, pulled out my camera from it's safe hiding place and snapped some photos. I remember thinking that the lake water was so clear and inviting! I just wanted to jump in!!!<BR/><BR/>3. Hmm this is really rough. I'm a sense freak. Where ever I am I try to take in all of the senses around me! The smell of the area and to be able to remember something just by a smell?! It's so amazing to me! The taste of food! The feel of something textured (I'm also a toucher . . . before I buy ANYTHING clothes, stuffed animals, towels, anything)! I LOVE to listen to the sounds of life. And to see life?! I feel so blessed that I have all of my senses. I really can't answer this question because every single one would be a huge loss for me. I guess I'd have to Russian Roulette for this one. Or have someone else pick. <BR/><BR/>4. I guess it haunted my conscience so badly that I don't really remember my childhood. Truthfully I know that it was really just events in my childhood that made me forget about 99% of it. Go go defense mechanisms! <BR/><BR/>5. Really rough question. I am a lover of both! There is nothing like the feeling of a hard cover book with crisp pages to run your fingers/mind through! Then again I'm in love with connecting to other minds via the internet and sites like these! But if I were to imagine myself in my dream job it would be just sitting on a comfy chair, reading books to my heart's content. So I would say a life without electronic media!<BR/><BR/>Ps. I'm in love with these barrage of questions!Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840799436272294300noreply@blogger.com
