I guess there's really 6 senses huh..." common sense" often gets neglected...some of you just post ops sure have some of these vets questionin yers lol j/k!

Anyhow...Ive said before of all the senses I could do without...it would have to be TASTE! I read an article once that women have more taste buds than men do.
Taste gets me to overeat more than sight-cues me to eat
Very aggravatin...If food tasted like **** I wouldn't overeat it..ok take that back...maybe I would

So do I get that tongue patch

keep plodding along overeating GREAT tasting food

or keep on restraining the beast called taste n make the best of it. ?
This beast is pullin me along for the ride. I wish I had better control...of it.

HOW about YOU? Which SENSE could you LIVE without and WHY?

SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, TASTE or TOUCH?

it would be my sense of smell. i have been without it for 18 months now and it kind of helps me in a way. if i can't smell it then i really don't want it.

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!

I am voting for smell. Vision would be the hardest by far to loose.

taste..if everything tasted like cardboard I wouldn't want to eat anything and would just choke down the min requirements to sustain life..I would still need to smell to make sure I don't have BO and don't burn something down cause I can't smell the burning

VSG on 05/31/11 with

Taste or hearing. I'd probably choose taste first, but hearing I could probably function pretty well without. I read lips and know enough sign to get by as it is, not being able to hear would force me to finally become fluent.

Interesting question...

if i can smell perfume on you, you are wearing way too much.
