If you could have one thing done to your body to make it more of what you would like it to be, what would it be? Now it would cost you nothing, anytime off from work would be paid in full. If you are a SAHM a babysitter would be there to watch the kids. This is just a dream and everything would turn out perfect. What would you want done and why? Maybe there is nothing you would want to change, then is there a reason for it?

I would like all my teeth fixed. Have been working on this for quite a while and it is a long and expensive process. My body is my body, I gain weight I lose weight. I just would like to smile and have nice looking teeth. Well at least in my eyes nice looking teeth.

I'd just like to get my body back upstairs on the exercise machines again. It just doesn't seem to go up there although I keep telling it it should. If I could shave 20 years off it wouldn't bother me either. Dorothy |

I'm with you Summer. My teeth really need some work but with no Insurance The kids come first (& they don't get in as often as they should) I thought I had enough saved. Then DH had 2 trips to the emergancy room. One for a problem swallowing, we founfd out he has acid reflux & hasn't had any more trouble since taking twice a day antacids. Then 2 weeks later he was in for a kidney stone. He still hasn't passed that but it isn't giving him trouble right now. That cost over $3000. so my teeth will have to wait a little longer. I wouldn't mind losing about 70 lbs. but until I feel committed I am not worried about it. I have seen people lose too fast & gain it right back with a few extra & I can't afford any extra. I would also like to reduce the stress in my life but with a 14,17,19,& 21 YO living in the house I don't think it will be stress free for a while. Now I am going to go de stress a little at the sewing machine. Barb

| Let's see, I would like a breast reduction and lift to put them back where they should be, a tummy tuck with lipo. Some work on the inner thighs and sand blasting to remove all the stretch marks and wrinkles. Then on to the salon for manicure, pedicure and facial. With a good dye job I'd be ready to hit the streets! Oops i don't mean in a professional way! LOL |

I with those who talk about teeth. I have one right in front that has started to go bad and I really need to get it fixed before it gets any worse, my husband has dental insurance, but it only provides a small discount on services and we just don't have the money to get it done, maybe after Christmas, or perhaps with our Income Tax refund. I would love to lose weight but I would NEVER get liposuction done, or any other surgical weight reduction. I've seen tv shows where they show what they do during liposuction and it hurts me just watching them, I couldn't imagine waking up after having a doctor jab forcefully into my stomach, thighs, and whatever else with a metal rod. As for anything else, again, the pain and the time off work and time off not being able to do the things I enjoy would just not make it worth it. I'd really like to get my teeth straightened along with fixing the bad ones too. Charity |

I want my eyeballs to work. I blink and blink and these damn contacts don't help me see up close!
love and kisses, Jan

| I got tired of using reading glasses with my contacts and went to trifocals. I hated it at first because I loved my contacts but when I'm sewing or reading or anything it's just easier with the glasses. I think they make bifocal contacts but haven't asked about it! |

Maybe we can all trade for a day...I have great teeth....I'd trade a day with someone who has a great body....whatcha think ??? I have bad eyes too Jan...I can't wear contacts anymore (allergies). I DO however wear blended bifocals. You can't see where the bifocal is and neither can anyone else. I also get the lenses no reflection and scratch proof. ( I used to wear GLASS lenses in my glasses...talk about pain and NOSE divets..now they're REALLY light and people don't know I'm blind (and NO MORE 'coke bottle' look). Ahhhh....come on Deb...we wanna see ya hit the streets...just make sure you DON'T hit a sink hole and fall in...

Well, time to fess up, I've had some work done and don't regret it. Would I do it again? In a snap. Would I go for more? Don't know. I'm aging like everybody else and have to live with that. I would go shopping for clothes that fit nicely. I'd be happy with just that right now. |

I'd like new eyeballs so I could see, and no bifocals. But I'd also like thinner thighs, though I think the eyeballs would be less painful - I hate pain.
