I am almost 67. When I was a teenager, 5'7" was considered tall. I'm still 5'7" but look up to the teenagers now. Each generation gets taller.

I'm short (5'2", though the doctor says I've shrunk to 5'1" - huh), so most people are taller than me anyway. So just looking around and assessing isn't giving me the answer.
So.... I'm taking a survey. How tall are YOU?

I, too, don't think of myself as short until it is pointed out to me.

and, as somebody else has mentioned, i'm always happy to help the vertically challenged reach those pesky top shelves in the store. (they help me get things off the bottom. my knees are not always up to the challeng of deep knee bends. :lol: )
Well Patrice, welcome to the problems with knees club :-D My uncle was 6'4" and he figured out why we have knee problems. When you sit down, your knees are above your bottom :-D especially on standard potties. Isn't long til we start having difficulty getting that back side up off the sofa, chair or whatever :-D Most sofas and chairs are not high enough for tall folks.(made for shorties :-D ) Yes, I too had a higher chair at work...could jump and run quickly, no push ups off the desk :-D Those with shorter stature also have their different needs, isn't it wonderful how we are all so diverse and yet so the same :D Always thought that 5'9" would be great, of course, being tall everyone seems to think that you don't have a weight problem....NOT :lol:
