Katy Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 1 minute ago, kbutton said: This reminds me... years ago we had this lab mix who was so smart. I can't remember why this squirrel was driving him crazy, but DH told the dog he'd give her a steak if she caught the squirrel. So of course she immediately did, and brought the tick-infected thing to the door. I was horrified, and DH happened to be working from home that day, so he got to deal with the consequences of his words. He thought she didn't understand English, but she did better than most 5 year olds in my opinion. I made him tell her while he appreciated the squirrel, I did not and please don't try to bring another one in the house. She stopped chasing squirrels immediately, and pretty soon 3 more moved into our yard. The next house we moved to after that had a doggie door. I tried to teach the smaller dog how to use it, but he was afraid of it. The lab mix acted disinterested, and frankly I thought she was a bit big for it. DH came home & asked if she'd used it. I said, "She's too fat for that." The dog got a horrified look on her face, immediately ran to the door, and scraped one side of herself trying to show how much space there was. She then went in and out a few more times while we were standing there laughing. She acted angry with me until I apologized. She was such a good dog. 15 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I always felt like I was on the short side as a kid, but maybe it's because I was a year younger than the other kids in my grade?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I always felt like I was on the short side as a kid, but maybe it's because I was a year younger than the other kids in my grade?? I'm only 5'3" and I have always felt short. It wasn't until about a year ago that the forums informed me I am actually average height. I guess I always assumed average was 5'5" or 5'6". Oh well. All I know is all pants are too long. 😃 ETA: And if you judge shortness by not being able to reach stuff, then I am, because I have to scale the shelves like Spiderman at the grocery. LOL.

I always have to by the 'short' pants, and the arms on all the shirts are too long (and that fad of over-long arms on purpose has not helped!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite - normalish legs but the torso of a 3 yr old child. My sister is several inches taller than me and our legs are exactly the same height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, dsil's cousin (once removed - and dh's elementary school classmate) summitted Everest without oxygen. (on a previous expedition he was within a couple thousand feet on a more difficult route when he had to turn around - (equipment failure) - or he would have been one of those bodies. Another climber fell to her death on that trip.) Dr's have put him on a treadmill . . . running . . . his heart rate is in the 60s. . .

I have short arms, even things that are supposed to be wrist length, are an inch too long. 1dd and I would go grrr whenever 2dd would complain about sleeves being too short.. . . . Then I measured her. she's 5'11" - and her arm span is 6'1". (arm span and height are supposed to be "the same".) So, she loves the extra sleeve length in things. "the sleeves fit"! (and brand names, and discount store brand names (re: costco, 20 years ago) - the "same" item . . . wasn't the same. The full price version had longer sleeves.) I may be average height, but short arms . . . Hey kid - would you please get -__ down for me? I like having tall children.

Mine wasn't my granny's, but it was the last car that the women we bought it from thought she would own, so it was in really good shape. She was a grandmother.

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I drove a pink "boat" (actually a Dodge, I believe) but that thing was huge. And I was so low on the seat that I could barely peek over the steering wheel. So dangerous to drive! But I just aimed it where I wanted it to go and never had an accident. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 DS30 had a granny car in 2008. The cool aunt and uncle gave it to him. A 1984 Volvo, the giant boxy kind.. It was a beast. Excellent safety though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
