How tall are you?
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.

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

^ 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.

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.

I think I will challenge the new doc's yardstick. I don't feel shorter.
Dave, that pic was just about 9 months ago. I'm way taller than Rose. We'll have to see how we measure up next time.
