If you could be anyone for a day who would it be. I would love to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, to be twirled and whirled around the dance floor by a handsome partner would be my idea of heaven. I would be slim and trim with beautiful legs (that work) and wearing fabulous outfits. I would especially love to dance the Salsa with all that fabulous Latin Music. Who would you like to be for a day, and why?

Hm, be someone else for a day?

I guess I'd like to be someone wild and crazy and fearless. Someone impossible who just doesn't care and worry. And then - beware, folks! :muahaha:

Yeah, and I would - of course - (with mcwriter) watch McTavish win the prize, all envious of the handsome guy she'd dance with. And I would get on Bev's goldwing and ride with her into the sunset ....

Well ...

On a bad day I'd like to be an Astronaut stuck a long, long way away on another planet;

But the good days, just being me is great.

For just a day? I think Id rather keep working on me for that 24 hrs. The last person Id want to be is an able bodied person. I think I came to terms with my paralysis pretty quickly and relatively smoothly, I wouldnt want to try it again and face the "loss" again at the stroke of midnight.

"Gumby" - so I could be all "skinny and flat against the wall" so my husband could roll past in tight spaces and not squish me or my toes!!

 I think I'll go for being McTavish's partner on the dance floor. Not only would I get to enjoy the dance with her and win a prize, I would get to make Jenny all green with envy!

had to edit a spelling mistake before Jenny gave me a hard time!

Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective

Oh Colin - you made me break my promise to shut up for a while during the holidays. This was too damn nice! =) LOL
Thus you're banned (oops, wrong thread?).

Jenny, green today :)

I'd still be me. Better to go with the devil I already know. :dev:

OK I'll be serious with this one.....Bill Gates is my answer. Why; he has always fascinated me with his charity that he and his wife developed and donate billions of dollars to for helping the less unfortunate. Just for one day I would like to see how his mind works. Perhaps to be able to take away some entrepreneurial tips on life and how to succeed in business.

Charity = tax rite off

+

Succeeding business = monopoly

Total = Gates

Result......... Crap software, but gotta hand it to him all the same, genuis.
