Repeat after me (5'10").....It's easier to hem pants than find them long enough!!!!! 6' is just too tall!!!!! (unless you're OK with living in men's clothes, that is.....)

Definitely too tall! I'm 6' tall and very thin and I've always had trouble finding pants or sleeves long enough for me. I can't buy pants or jeans straight off the rack because they just don't fit. It's very frustrating. I can't wear shoes with heels either :?

I would gladly swap some of my height for some weight ;-)

So I'm canceling the gym membership and from now on you'll find me at the playground hanging by my ankles from the monkeybars!

Just picturing that sure makes me happy I live in South Central Kentucky -- a safe zone at a distance of 230 mile m/l.

One of the best comedy lines I've ever heard is from the show Cheers. Forgive me if I don't get it quite right...

As he walks in, someone asks "what are you up to, Norm?" He answers, "My proper weight if I was 11 feet tall!"

About sums it up, doesn't it?!
