That's it! I've solved the world's problems.

[cjsmith]

I hear of a clinic doing breast reductions on Tuesdays and augmentations on Wednesdays. Some people undergo fertility treatments while others get sterilized. I love to run and can't 'cause of feet, and a friend of mine loves to swim and can't 'cause of a shoulder. (I oughta swim; she's supposed to run.)

If we took all the problems of the world and simply reassigned them to different people I bet the world would be a happier place!

(Granted, implementation's a bitch. Don't pester me with such inconsequential details.)

I thought you were going to propose some sort of body part swapping clinic when I first started reading this. :-)

Yeah, I'd happily donate any fertility I have to somebody who wanted it. (Not my actual *genes*, god forbid -- I've got too much in them that I wouldn't want to pass on. But if there were some generic ChildPotential locked in me, I couldn't give it away fast enough.)

Yeah, most of the stuff I thought of was body-related, but that's mainly because problems external to oneself tend to lend themselves to actual solutions. :-)

Me too. Why can't we just reshuffle a few things and have my friends who dearly want children be perfectly easily fertile?

I'd also gladly pass on SOME of my genes if I could be absolutely sure others wouldn't make it. Teeth, for example. After losing eight of 'em the rest fit in my mouth, and they're absurdly healthy teeth. I'd be pleased to give those to a child. My mostly-lack-of-allergies would be fine to pass along. As for the rest of me, I'm fond of saying I need a Nobel Prize in medicine for my contributions to the future health of the world: not passing on my genes! :-)

I'm nominating you as the next Intelligent Designer!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Next I'll need a task force for Knee Joint Design Rev 2.0.

They can't just run a pump and suck boob stuff out of one person and pump it into the next one over?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Lots of people would sign up!

I'll take it! My girls cost waaaay too much to get! (not that I'd trade them for anything or don't they they are worth every penny, mind you! I'd of rather had them cost as much as their brother.)

I'll put Pat and Ella on it.

Kim always said she would happily donate part of her boobs to anyone who thinks they need an augmentation. I suspect she's sign up for your new business.

Personally, can you hook me up with one of those people that have so much money they don't know how to spend it all? :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'd donate, too. I can't imagine why anyone would want more of that stuff hangin' off the front, but more power to 'em if they'll take mine! :-)

Certainly, I'm sure I could find someone to pair you up with. Me, I'll latch on to someone who's 100% physically healthy, disgustingly cheerful by nature, and just "doesn't understand" why other people have problems. I think my feet and my brain chemistry could be of great educational benefit to such a person. ;-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

(embarrassed shuffling of feet) who are they?

[jupiter29.livejournal.com]

Me, I'll latch on to someone who's 100% physically healthy, disgustingly cheerful by nature, and just "doesn't understand" why other people have problems.

If by latch on you mean you give them a bunch of stuff you don't need and then never have to seen them again, that might work. :)

As for your other comment, I'm sure your... uh... I mean, I have no doubt that your stuff is ... um... very... er... well... okay, I'll stop talking now. :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Of course give them all the stuff I don't need. They're LOOKING for understanding, right?? :-) Or so they all seem to claim!

*chuckle*

[jupiter29.livejournal.com]

Understanding is not all it's cracked up to be. :)
