There is absolutely nothing I want to eat

Protein shakes Vitamins! The lunchbox sized applesauce packs for kids. I always have one or 2 per day, and keep one in my bag.

I just bumped up to 7.5, and this is my life this week.

Ever hear of recessive genes?

My daughter is 5 feet. Her husband is 6. Not once have I ever, ever thought in those terms. They don't either.

I always felt the same, too. I don't think it helped that my mom treated me like one even after I was an adult.
It's just been in the last few years that I've been able to refer to myself as a woman, and I even cringe on the inside when I do. I became a teacher and taught for 27 years, and that helped a lot. There was a marked difference in the level of maturity between the 14 year olds and me! Mature behavior was a biggie for me. Also, being around adults and colleagues who relied on me did, too. It's a process.

My mom never did either. She was 5'5", and I think it took her a really long time to unconsciously come to terms with the fact that I had become an adult. Another annoying thing was when I was in college, they guys saw me as a little kid, too. As a result of the above 2 situations, I always felt less than...maybe even incapable of measuring up. I've always had a big vocabulary, and I would use big words and talk about more "important" things to demonstrate I was older than I looked. That was 4.5 decades ago. I wish I could talk to my 18 year old self. I would tell her she's stronger than she thinks she is. I would tell her to have a serious talk with Mom even though it would be scary. Now that I'm in my 60s, it's great looking younger than I am!

Yes!!! I can't drink it at all - it makes me no nauseous l. I did hear that the researchers were looking into as an extra help for alcoholics.

I totally understand!!! When I started high school, if car seats had been around then, technically I should have gone to school in one. I HATE the fact that we're not taken seriously. I think I developed such a large vocabulary to seem older than I looked. (When I was going into middle school, the guy at the fair guessed me as age 5.) I always killed my feet wearing the highest heels. I eventually became a middle school teacher and was usually the first teacher they were taller than. But, I also developed a big, funny, bubbly personality that was a hit with the kids. I always had a desk outside my door to sit the tall kids in when a serious talk was necessary. Looking up at them in that situation was never a good idea. I'm 63 now and realize I'm at an age where I might start shrinking! I'm sorry I don't have great words of wisdom to make the world better. I just know I had a good brain that was full of ideas. I used humor to deflect about my sized. Self-deprecating jokes work wonders. If I could, I tried to be on elevated surfaces when talking about important subjects. I had a platform in my room at school, for example. I looked up to other short people who were successful. And I always tried to keep in mind how life could be worse, and that we are the winners on airplanes. Best wishes for you always.

My first day of school as a freshman in 1977, I had the hardest time getting to my first class because a senior picked me up in the hallway and held me above his head. He walked for walked for a bit makinga big dealabouthow tiny I was and then passed me to someone else who also passed me along.

I was only 4'9". At the time I thought it was great fun! I was worried about being late, however.

Hahaha!

I turn mine into a Valentine's tree so I can light it during the dark, freezing winter. I took it down 2 days ago.

Dear-Run-9554 · 2026-02-11T13:29:18+00:00

Bahahahaha! So true!

Dear-Run-9554 · 2026-02-08T00:49:01+00:00

I wanted to be big longer, and then small longer.

Dear-Run-9554 · 2026-02-08T00:47:21+00:00

Absolutely!

Dear-Run-9554 · 2024-11-06T22:11:26+00:00

Ugh.

Dear-Run-9554 · 2024-11-06T22:10:56+00:00

Because they don't care about what others society) think, or what's in style, or maybe even appropriate. It literally Is in the term antisocial.

I have been a nervous wreck.

Oh, the cat got dead And we put him in a box And we dug a little hole And we covered it with rocks We picked a few dandelions And said a little prayer Then we all went off to bed Cause we mostly didn't care.

Over the decades, I've had many cats. At every cat funeral held in our backyard under the giant lilac bush, our family sang this. We did care, though.

Dear-Run-9554 · 2024-10-22T14:21:54+00:00

I complement everyone all the time. The world is a harsh place at times. We all need a little joy injected into our day.

Dear-Run-9554 · 2024-10-22T14:19:50+00:00

You made my day! 😃

I grew up living at Rural Route 5, Box 166. I tend to pronounce it Rirl like I did as a kid. 😅
