Not given her no hugs. She's mean to me
That's ok. I hug you all the time anyway
Unless I'm wooing you.
Well, stop it. We're both married......
I hug you guys all the time, the world is not ready to understand our love.

It's my mother's fault I'm not 6'. My dad comes from a family of giants (I have a 3rd cousin who's 6'11") even though he's the shorty of the family at 5'11". Mom, however, she's 4'10". Her mom...4'6".
It could have been worse!
At least you wound up closer to his height than her's.
True!!0 -
There was a parody called "Tall people", but it never caught on as we all know being tall is better than being short.

I'm 5'9", and hubby claims 5'7" like @pinuplove claims 5'3".

I have my physical Tuesday - I’m going to have them measure me. Maybe I’m not 5’5” any more since I turned 60? That would suck!1

I have been almost 5'1" 1/2 since I was about 20. After last year's neck surgery I got measured at exactly 5'1" 1/2. After this year's neck surgery I am hoping I will make it to 5'1" 3/4. I'll take all the fractions of inches I can get!
And I am very considerate - when tall people get stuff off the top shelf for me at the grocery store I always offer to get stuff off the bottom shelves for them.

True. We should probably just bubble wrap her. :laugh:
No lie, I think I broke my foot falling down the 3 stairs to the garage last year
Nothing there, didn't trip, just...fell. It was swollen and all kinds of pretty colors for weeks.
I regularly sprained my ankles as a child. As an adult, I've tripped over my own feet and invisible lines more often than I care to admit. I'm a little worried for my elder years.
Maybe it's good not to be very tall: Lower center of gravity, less far to fall.
My 6' rowing double partner has flipped more single shells by far than I have: Pair a high center of gravity with a tendency to tense up when something untoward happens, and you swim lots more often when rowing. She also falls more, and further.
Full disclosure: I'm 5'5" at last measuring a few years back, down from 5'6" in youth. Not sure I want to know current. 5'5-6" seems medium-ish, something this thread is making me feel good about.
Hugs - per the OP request - Pinuplove!3 -
Every time I get measured they give me a different number 5’6” to 5’7”.
Shorter people are not persecuted lol!🤪1 -
Meh, I am 5 feet. I used to hate being short because kids teased me when I was younger. Now I accept and embrace it.2
-
Must be looking extra short today. Random person in Walmart asked if I needed help reaching the handsoap that was one shelf above eye-level
I think I can manage that 12 -
I'm 5ft 2.2 ( up from 5ft 1.8 go me)
I found it helps to date short guys (5ft 3-4) then I feel perfectly normal
My ex was 6ft 4 and thought it was funny to put me over his shoulder 🙄1 -

my best friend:
Used daily for 10-15 minutes with various balance exercises. Seriously strengthened the muscles around my ankles.
No more spraining (or unwanted stumbling and falling over imaginary blocks) since I started in 2014
ETA: clarity

What the heck is that thing? It could be a whoopie cushion or a foot massager or a pan scrubber...
...I'm going with the assumption it's some type of balancing tool.1 -

Right? :laugh: We need context @ladyreva78 I can't tell if this is 3 inches across or 3 feet.
Looks like something you'd sit on to encourage yourself to *not* sit:
