I hate it when people post just to post.....

I would never write it either. Of course, if I got into a heated discussion with someone and name calling ensued, then there's no subject too taboo. As LuLu can attest being a fellow shorty, we're fiesty as hell and quicker on our feet than those big, lumbering giants.

Hehe, ankle biters! :tt2:

[BethFromVA 5]

the main reason i don't debate here. you can't see my wrath over words....LOL

She's never gone. [insert Terminator voice here] She'll be bock! [end]

Hehe, ankle biters! :thumbup:

Touché :tt2:

Ok, I am just glad to know that I wasn't the only one having trouble getting on here yesterday. I thought maybe my internet service was being screwy.

I have to say that I am a fellow ankle biter. I have no problems going toe-to-toe with my 6ft 4in husband, but typing it just isn't the same.

LOL. Unfortunately, we are still trying to fight over who is queen (hint hint) of my house.:sneaky:

Hehehe, y'all are funny!

Btw, what constitutes "short"? I'm short in my family at 5'7".

i'm 5'1 on my toes - mom is 4'11.

dad is 6'1 - i didn't get that feature from the gene pool.

[gone 4 ever 6]

You want ankle biters? You want short? I am probably shorter than any one on here...4'10 & 1/2. The 1/2 makes a lot of difference! I am patiently waiting to be able to wear platforms and heels again. That way I will be 2-4 inches taller. When I was a teen I could run faster in platforms than in tennis shoes.

Your parents sound like mine Lulu. Mom was 4'10 and dad was 6'. I took after mom. When my kids blame me for their height I tell them to blame grandma. But my grandfather on dad's side was only 5'5 and grandma was 5'7. So I really got it from both sides.

[Donna113 2]

I claim 5'2" but in reality I fall just short of 5'1". I usually wear 2-3 inch heels though so I can pass for 5'3" most of the time. :sneaky:

My DH is 6'2". Do you think it's something about short women that makes them attracted to tall men or do you think tall men are attracted to short women? The shortest guy I ever dated was 5'10" and I thought he was too short.

[luluc 6]

Do you think it's something about short women that makes them attracted to tall men or do you think tall men are attracted to short women?

i prefer taller men - not sure i've dated anyone under 6' - DH i know prefers petite women.

Like Donna, I claim 5ft 2, but I am really about 5ft 1.5 (according to the doctor when trying to determine my BMI). My mom is about 4ft 10. My dad was about 5ft 7. I am sure you can see where I am going with this. I am praying that my son takes after his dad.

[BethFromVA 5]

Wow, then I guess I am somewhat tall.

Too tall to be short, and too short to be a supermodel. So what's a girl to do? :sneaky:

I was always teased for my lack of height in my family (my sister especially who is 5'11"), but if you put me in a room full of 100 average women, I'd be taller than probably half of them.

My daughter grew to be about 5'10". Tall and coltish. Wish I could say she got that from me... :mad2:

[DivaStyleCoach 89]

PJTP...I'm the tallest woman in my family at 5' 10". My darling mother was only 5'4" tall, my DD is a little taller than I, my DH is 6' 3" tall, and my sons are both 6' 4" (go figure).

My height came from my paternal grandmother - I have a photo of her, and we are twins in body size from the neck down...funny how that happened.

Glad my children are tall, but I keep hearing my mother's voice saying "I'm not going to be the shortest one in the house" :mad2:

She was...and now I am! :sneaky:
