What Would You Regenerate?
I came across this intriguing post and it got me to thinking. If you could regenerate three parts of your body, what would you regenerate? There are some rules, so go read them.
The use of systems as an apparent cheat to the rules is interesting. Since the vascular system can’t really be separated from the heart (there are veins and arteries within the heart), I have to admit that I would regenerate my entire cardiovascular system. The immune system is not a system in the same way as the vascular system, consisting of everything from bone marrow to major organs. If you include the endocrine system (and a good argument can be made for so doing), then I say yes for that being the second thing I would have done. While a good case can be made for the digestive system, I would take the cheat one level further and say the sensory system. Imagine having your hearing, sight, taste, and smell back as sharp as it was when you were young…
Okay, so what would you get done?

Yes, Admin1 Has Been Slack
Yet, Admin1 has been busy. There are some changes coming, that require a bit of behind the scene work. Also, we’ve been busy doing some other things. Standby for that. Meantime:
“Poor, poor admin1. Admin1 has hard life. Very sad life, probably very sad posting hiatus, but at least there is symmetry”
Okay, so it is not exact, but I will give one of the Weldon first aid kits to the first person to name the real character who’s lines are used, and in what show.
