OK, along with Vintage, comes loss of height.

Height loss occurs in both men and women and may happen at a rate of about one centimeter lost for every decade of life after age 40. This rate increases after age 70, commonly leading to a total loss of about one to three inches in height.

At 5' tall, I don't have much to spare. Well I was 5' tall. I'm now 4'11".

Any loss of two or more inches can be a sign of osteoporosis, I'll be checked for that soon, but I wondered have any of you had to visit your tailor/seamstress because your pants/slacks start to drag on the ground?

If I'll have to start shopping in "Dwarf Casuals" vs the petite Department.

Disclaimer: No offense intended to the "Little people" out there.

 

my height appears to be the same with two exceptions.
My sons are taller than me and I think I stayed the same.
But much worse is my aspect ratio has changed substantially.
I used to be 4:3 but now I've switched to wide screen

Worst Lainey thread EVA!

^ This struck me as really funny...I guess because I wasn't expecting this kind of post. A case where shrinkage is desirable?

To answer your question - I'm 5'4". I may have shrunk 1/2 inch. Not planning on shrinking any more.

 

Hey Bill, misery loves company.


Do you suffer from shrinkage too???

5'8" to start with. That used to be average...in the late 1800s.

Am I getting shorter? Or is the world....rising? Oh, well...all the better to get in and out of the S.

 

Lainey Rose has benifitted from the 9 months also, she is umm lets say lighter and stands up straighter now. This will be interesting when you 2 meet again this summer. The duel is on
