If You Had God's Attention, What About Your Body

One of the lesser Paris Street. See, we are lost. This was supposed to be something spectacular.

would you ask to be changed. I am going to the periodontist on Friday. I've been going since I was in my thirties. No kidding, I spend more time there and at my regular dentist than anywhere except the library.

I was a grinder from age seven. So I would ask for a different set of choppers. What about you?

A better metabolism. All this working out and eating like a saint is the shits.

I'm with you on the pearly whites as well. I started going back to the dentist about four years ago- mid thirties. Two words: Pandora's Box.

Two new halfs - but considering my age, my waist is good.

Why change a thing? It proves that God has a sense of humor!

His sense of humor has bought two dentists lakefront houses and cost me much pain.
Dorte-that's funny!

And a better metobolism would be key since I have thyroid issues.

R/T said...

Of course, Patti, I was speaking only of myself regarding God's perverse sense of humor. I was not at all making light of your ordeals. Though, think about it. You're redistributing wealth to the dentists, which is, as I understand it, a laudable approach to economics in some circles.

I would ask for a better pair of knees, since the pair I have now seems to be made of paper mache'.

Dana King said...

Definitely my eyes. They can look the same (what the hell, it's not me has to look at them all day), but it would be nice if they had worked better.

I have the usual mix of age-related problems: diabetes, bad knees, high blood pressure, and Rosacea. They're annoying, but manageable. I would rather ask the Divine to help my friend Randy who has melanoma and my Mom who has Alzheimer's.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome (it's a bit like MS without available meds) and would love to get rid of that.

Otherwise, I'm good :-)

I was thinking of the little things, but now I see it's the big ones that matter.

Could I please just go back to the body I had when I was 35? Please? The last 30 years have not been kind.

pattinase (abbott) said...

Me, too, Rick. I'd be very willing to do that.

Patti - Interesting question....Hmmm... I think I would ask for just a few more centimeters of height. When you're only a little over a meter and a half tall, well, some things are just out of reach. Literally ; ).

pattinase (abbott) said...

Gosh, I want all the things you guys want too. Maybe I should ask for a little less greed.

Richard R. said...

This reminds me a little of a game some comic fan friends of mine like to play: what one super power would you want if you could pick one?

Jerry House said...

If I had God's attention, I would hand him a list of things much more important than my tattered and run-down body.

pattinase (abbott) said...

I guess I can't play this mindless game with you noble people.
I love that one, Rick. I pick the super power of teeth that can cut through titanium.

Charles Gramlich said...

I'd ask for my balance back and to have my legs stop tingling and cramping.

There is one thing that matters: a clear mind for as long as we breathe. I ask God for a good old age, not necessarily a long one.
