If You Could Pick One Gift...

I would want to be artisticly gifted. Even if I didn't sell anything until after I died.

I'd pick intellectually gifted.

valerie · Post by **valerie** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 10:23 am

I'd go with physically gifted, myself. I work at it nearly every day, and I do

alright, but it would be nice to just have it. 'Specially if I could keep it into

old age!

For me physically gifted. By that I mean genetics as well, as abilities.

I work with AZLHEIMER'S patients, and their families. If we have learned nothing else about this awful disease physical health plays a huge part.

ALZHEIMER'S disease knows no boundries. It will strike the intelligent, rich, poor, young, or old. It doesn't care what your ethnic background is. It will take your mind, and body in an angonizing decent into darkness. :-1

Having great genes, and good phisically health through out your life just might put on the non-receiving side of this disease..

It's no guarantee, but it is a plus. Keeping your body healthy, also keeps your BRAIN HEALTHY.. "MAINTAING YOUR BRAIN" IS THE NAME OF THE GAME, IT STARTS WITH YOUR BODIES HEALTH..

Intellegence, I love knowledge of all things and definately am no expert. But just find learning facinating.

I am not physical enough nor care about that part

Artistically I can do a wicked stick man drawing ahahahaha my mom and brother are the artists in my family circle so I will go for brains.

Just give them money! They`ll be alot happier.

I would choose intellect, think of all the things you could do for the world!

Not sure that I fit in with this high minded, altruistic crowd :-3

Oh what the hell, I'd like to be gifted as the worlds greatest, and most prolific stud. :yh_silly :yh_sungla { at least I'm honest }

Post by **kensloft** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 2:36 am

I would go for the intellectual attributes that would then give me the wherewithal to create the means to get the physicality up and running. :-5

hey Der Wulf...that guy may appeal to some, but so-called perfection is unlikely and even off-putting, especially since i am not perfect, who needs some guy hogging the mirror and posing? .......my man is quite attractive, and that is important, but even that is subjective. what captured my attention and held it was brilliance. complete utter brilliance and humor, he makes me laugh until i cry, and unabashed romance , and love. there is nothing more attractive than someone who loves us and makes us feel wonderful about ourselves. who , when we look into their eyes see a reflection of ourselves that we can love. the person who really loves you is all about making you feel good about yourself and healing whatever crap you have suffered, who has your happiness at heart. i have learned this...albiet late, but not too late. (P.S. i know you knew this, but you like to pretend you are a lecher :p )

Me thinks that LC does'nt need to pick, she's already found a very precious gift. :-4 :-6

Whazzat? Is there something I am missing? Is there something that has escaped my attention? What are you saying Der Wulfe? Are you a lecher poser? Dang! If that don't beat all. And all this time?

Thanks for the pic, Sir Wulf, I can certainly appreciate it. Talk

about a six-pack..

If you could pick to be, physicly gifted; great at sports, learn anything physical in a day and master it in two, artisticly gifted, or intellectually gifted; ie. Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking brilliant... which would you pick?

For myself I would go with physicly gifted, but I'm a sports nut so the physical thing may not be as important to some people...

Which would you be?Top physical form would be my choice. I think I do OK in the brains area but I could definitely use some help with this dilapidated body of mine!!

BTW I really like your signature quote.

Congrats, Der Wulf

You actually rendered me speechless for some time. Not easily achieved.

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:25 am

actually Der Wulf....i saw that guy sitting on a barstool in key west wearing a lovely evening gown and slingbacks.

Bothwell · Post by **Bothwell** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:00 am

And those slingbacks really hurt my toes!!

If someone is going to post my picture can they please credit me.

I have obviously put on a litle extra weight now.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 4:43 pm

ARCHERGIRL,

FYI!!

Bothwell is spoken for, with or without slingbacks..

so easy on the GRRRRR BABY!!

LOL .... grrrrrrr baby!

P.S. Oh by the way !! his woman carries a GUN..!! :sneaky:

I used to have a six pack, but now it's a twelve pack.

For me this question is a no brainer. Or should I say Big Brainer?

I wish to be as intelligent as possible. I'd like to use all 1005 of my brain. Know all that is knowable, learn all that is learnable. Become a professional college student / professor. (Actually, with 11 years of college, I'm almost there now.)

My IQ is 157, but I really wish it was 200+. I've read all of Hawking's books, BTW. Interesting stuff. I highly recommend "A Brief History of Time."

I would like to be able to speak and understand all the languages of the world. I could talk to and understand anyone.

What about a bit of both? Is that too greedy? :-2

I think it is supposed to be one or the other.

I agree with you, I'd love to have a gift for languages instead of relying on foreigners being able to speak english (mind you, it would help if British schools could find a way of teaching languages in a clear and useful manner)

auntdenise · Post by **auntdenise** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 7:09 am

I am artistic, so that would be moot. I try to be physically active because it feels good, not so concerned with the rippley muscles. But, OH to be intelligent!! Now that would be the cats meow!

busybee · Post by **busybee** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 2:35 pm

The gift of psychic awareness. Fascinating stuff. It is thought we all have this capability but don't know how to use it.

Busybee :-6

persephone · Post by **persephone** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 5:33 pm

The gift of psychic awareness, something I would like, then maybe I wouldn't be making such a balls of things at the moment.

Then on the down side, I may be feeling worse by actually feeling the worlds sorrows, imagine the weight of that

I'm actually happy being me. :-6

well i dont know for me i would pick intelligence because i would feel that i was beign respected more. If people see a blond girl with big tits they assume she dumb and thickas **** dont they?? or is that my view?? i dont know.

persephone · Post by **persephone** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 3:19 am

Oh I know what you are saying, just don't assume that intelligence=respect, it equals a whole load of things and respect is something earned.

I was just commenting after a bad week, where intelligence caused a whole heap of nasty trouble, respect was missing in that.

ilona17 · Post by **ilona17** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 5:12 am

yeh ok i know what you mean. its alright. yeh it can cause trouble. so its cool

auntdenise · Post by **auntdenise** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:23 pm

I'm with you FebStorm......I would love to be a genius too. (Just so I didn't feel so stupid all the time!!) I thrive on the words of great thinkers. :yh_think

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:29 pm

all these sentiments have been noble and worthy...since i am already gorgeous and smart as hell i would choose wads of cash $$$$$$$.

.....in reality, i wish i had my health back 100%.

I'd have to go with artistically gifted. To be able to paint or design and have those things remain and be admired for centuries after my death would be very rewarding and fulfilling.
