I couldn’t imagine a world without hearing music or the sound of family and friend’s voices. I really enjoy reading and the great outdoors, so sight is a close second, but there’s always audio books. I would definitely miss the feeling of an embrace or holding hands, too, but sound still wins out…
I can’t imagine not having touch. Feeling the warmth of my wife, or the soft fur of my dog/cat, the grass in my toes, the pain of a paintball, the feeling of gravity as you accelerate fast around a turn…
This was kind of hard, but since I have been a child I have hugged others so it would be hard for me not to feel a hug, so I voted touch. People can say they love you all they want, but I think you can tell by the way they hug you.
I chose touch too. I’d hate to loose my sight, but I fear I will some day anyway. At least I can still picture fall in my imagination. I think it would be hard to imagine touch. And now that I’m adjusting back to our “touchy” culture, I have a lot of “touching” to make up for! haha
If you couldn’t smell would you still be able to taste?
Touch…I thought about site but I think I would miss touch the most. The touch of someone hugging you and showing their love. The feel of something soft or cool in your hands. Plus the warm water running over your cold fingers, warming up your entire body.
I would say that some of your senses of taste would go away with your sense of smell though i dont think all of it would.
sight, definitely. we humans are so dependent on our vision. this is the reason why i haven’t gotten lasik. i just know that murphy’s law will win out and i will be one of the few people that has a problem with the surgery and lose my vision. eek!
Scott : Thanks for the chart and the info. I saw something on Sony's site that let you plug in the games name and it would tell if it would play or not or if it would play with limitations. Supposedly all the kids games will play but, with all the "good" reports on the wii I think we are going with that.
Bryan : «link» this chart is your friend,makesurey oupick the right model carefully...
Bryan : Scott, only the original 20gb and 60gb PS3 models that launched have the Emotion Engine in them and are 100% backwards compatible with PSX and PS2 games. The 40gb, 80gb, and new 60gb won't play many of your earlier games. Sony killed the EE to cut down on the retail price.
Scott : Chris as far as the turn around time it was about a month.
Scott : Thanks fo rall the input. I didn't want to go strictly by the respective sites forums...I was thinking about the PS3 mainly because of teh blue ray player and it will play the PS1 and PS2 games. I woudln't have to add another game to my switch...
Paul C. : oops. Only reason I would buy a PS3 would be for the cheap blueray player...or to pay Gran Tourismo
Paul C. : Only reason
Paul C. : i haven't had any problems with my wii...or my mother in laws, brother in laws, or friends. the other way to look at it - maybe more people use their wiis so they experience more things an unused console won't have any problems!
Bryan : The Wii will often freeze during firmware updates if you have a weak wireless connection. It's happened to me before. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with my Wii, either. It's good for younger kids and "causal" gamers, or people that do a lot of social things. The 360 is better for older kids and hardcore fps and rpg fans.
Robin : Chris: I totally agree with you on the eggs, cheese, bacon and bread..I would add some homemade strawberry jelly or mayonnaise and then be set for life except for the cholesterol concerns.
Chris : Hmm...I haven't had either of those problems for what it's worth. Did the things you read say anything about how quick and easy it was to get the problem solved?
Scott : I think freezing up was the biggest and not booting up was the other. It's been a week so I don't remember the problems exactly, just that the wii had more/newer complaints than the other two systems
Chris : Jez: Eggs, cheese, bacon and bread and I'm set for life...
Chris : Scott: I haven't had any problems with my Wii. Love it, so much fun in a group setting. Haven't heard of any probs...wonder what trouble they are having
Jez : Oh, and eggs are fantastic. Eggs and potatoes are two of the greatest foods ever!! They can be used in so many ways!
Jez : I have both a Wii and 360. Really like both of them. The Wii has more games for kids and casual gamers. It also has more party style games. For a serious fps or rpg type gamer, I'd say 360.
Scott : On another note...any one have a wii and if so any troubles with it? Might get one ofr the kids for Christmas, but what I've read on Nintendo's site compared to what I've read on Sony's site for teh PS3 and Microsoft's site for the 360 I'm not sure I want one...
Scott : Yes sorry haven't checked the site in a few days...Paintball on 11/29 at 10am the usual place...I have some scrap wood for more bunkers/bunker repairs too...Hint!
Chris : Woohoo!
Jez : See we signed Daniel Orton? Already rated a top 10 recruiting class for next year, and it's still early recruiting!!
Chris : Scott, any word on that?
Chris : Yep, last I heard there was a possibility for a game towards the end of November. I'll keep you posted.
David : Did I hear paintball in the future awhile back?
Chris : Lol, oops.
Robin : Where is my rught ear?
Chris : Ok, got most of 'em fixed, Paul.
Paul C. : Thanks Chris.
James : Nice cd. Randomly remember a friend a few years ago pulled that one out on a road trip and said "Have you heard of him?" Moment of zen. All Star still lives in our hearts, if not always in our stereo these days.
Chris : hmm, I noticed dilbert and getfuzzy haven't shown up the past few days but haven't look into why. I'll see what I can do about it

I have to say touch as well. I also have to agree with Paul on the reasons!!

I have a story that I will try to post soon about being without the sense of site. It is very eye opening.
