How tall are you?

:shrug:

:P

I ever made this post. :P

I'm 177cm.

http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/LengthConverter.html

I'm 1/1687422680 parsecs tall. :P

(I think)

(unless it's on Star Trek :P), but I already know how tall you are in terms I can understand. :7

in oz. ?

:rofl:

175 cm here.

Do you mean 5'5" or 6'3"?

:P

:P

:P

Let's just say that the phrase "tall drink of water" can be used to describe me.

but I'm not 5'15". :D

6 foot with shoes.

I don't meet many females taller than I am. :hi:

I'm one of the short ones.

6" with winter shoes or sneakers.

and I'm still one of the tallest women in the family! :cry:

just like John Cleese.:+

I didn't know John Cleese was that tall.

for breakfast?



"Nineteen foot three! Damn you!"

nm

:hi:

:hi:

:hi:

Used to be at least 5'8"......:cry:

Either 5'9" or 5'10". :shrug:

:P

Smarty pants. :P

:P

Or 188 cm.

Or a scosh more than one-sixth a full wavelength in the 11-meter radio band.

:crazy:

An un-modulated (no voice, music, etc.) AM radio signal looks sorta like this:

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

(The pointy parts aren't that pointy, but I have limited resources here.)

The length of a single wave — one /\ — varies with the signal's frequency, i.e. 1240 kHz, 94.5 mHz, etc. On the 11-meter band, which is about 27.5 megahertz, a wave is just over 36 feet long. The lower the frequency, the longer the wave.

Aren't you glad you know this now? :silly:

:D

:)

:P

:hi:

:hi: :hug:

5'11" - 6'0" with the ubiquitous heels :D

It used to vary in the Army, and I don't recall any measurements since.

I am 5' 10".

:bounce:

:P

:D

being tall? :shrug:

I didn't date anyone taller than me until 11th grade. And people always ask me to get stuff off the top shelf in stores.

and sometimes uncomfortable for a woman to be on the taller side. But I hope that you are comfortable in your skin. There's really nothing any of us can do about how tall we are.

I don't mind being my height. I actually like it. :)

It can just be irritating sometimes. There are perks, too, such as I rarely have a hard time seeing the screen in movie theaters.

What's a chain?????

:P

http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictC.html

chain (ch)
a unit of distance formerly used by surveyors. The traditional British surveyor's chain, also called Gunter's chain because it was introduced by the English mathematician Edmund Gunter (1581-1626) in 1620, is 4 rods long: that's equal to exactly 1/80 mile, 1/10 furlong, 22 yards, or 66 feet (20.1168 meters). The traditional length of a cricket pitch is 1 chain. Gunter's chain has the useful property that an acre is exactly 10 square chains. The chain was divided into 100 links. American surveyors sometimes used a longer chain of 100 feet, known as the engineer's chain or Ramsden's chain. (However, Gunter's chain is also used in the U.S.; in fact, it is an important unit in the Public Lands Survey System.) In Texas, the vara chain of 2 varas (55.556 ft) was used in surveying Spanish land grants. In the metric world, surveyors often use a chain of 20 meters (65.617 ft). See also shackle and shot <2> for anchor chain lengths.

5'5

So going by the averages -- no, you're not short.

i thought i was short, but then again my mom is 5'7 or 5'8 and my stepdad is 6'2

:D

:P

but I wear boots that add another 2cm or so.

In my stocking feet.

Coincidence? :scared:

:D

6'3" in boots.

But when I'm in a bad mood I can make myself look at least 20' tall judging by some reactions. O8)

:P

I don't think so - but so I'm told. :shrug:

Then again we've never met IRL. :P

That I don't intimidate you, of course, the other isn't so good at all. :hug:

One of us is going to have to cross the pond one of these days.

Which I think is a pretty strong opening bid. :D

But so are you. :hug:

Anyway, there are far more of us on this side.

You're far too kind to me. :blush:

I do intend to make it over there at some point - but then the place is so damn big I wouldn't know where to go. :crazy:

:hug:

:hug:

It is quite big here, isn't it? I've seen very little of it myself. :P

I intend to make it over there to your side as well, actually. I started saving already.

Well, 5'2 3/4" to be exact! I like to round the number up. :)

:)

:hi: Joan.

This 5' 3"er just suggested (to myself) that I should run screaming from the room go hide under the bed for a while.
I'm redoing a major purchase (with the help of a DUer advising me).
However I just hit major sensory overload! darn-it ~ too many really good choices

:P

or, if you'd prefer: 19558000000 angstroms; .389 rods; .0089 cables; or 19.25 hands.

just...average...

I am a little shortarse. But I don't look it, so I am told. :)

:bounce:

How are you?

:loveya: I am okay. How are you? :hug: :hi:

:loveya: :hug:

It's a marvellous day here - bright and sunny, around 20C. Perfect.

It was like that here yesterday. :)

:hug:

Hold on...you had SUNSHINE there??? :wow:

:rofl:

And Friday was good, and Thursday before it. It was even 25 degrees on Thursday :o

I did absolutely NOTHING this weekend! It was great! :bounce: How about you?

It sounded like NOTHING was exactly what you needed!:hug:

Yesterday I was bagged, but that was ok, as it was Kentucky Derby day, so my morning consisted of watching the prep races, afternoon was watching it, then DU'ing..then I watched two fabulous documentaries called "Born into Brothels" and "March of the Penguins". (I love my local library, I don't need to rent movies/DVD's, I just go there instead...for free)

Today, I went to church, and tonight there's a meeting there...so, all in all, not much for me either. :bounce:

But it gives me another non-thing to be rude to you about (like your northernness). :P

B.T.W. Comment to bigwillq applies to you as well.

But I'm sure that won't stop you flirting with me. ;)

I am going to see what you said to bigwillq now...

;)

It sure as hell won't stop me flirting, that's an inbuilt reflex with me - but then I do like short guys, especially charming witty and stunningly gorgeous ones. :pals:

Or do you just like to mess with billy?

But this is mostly me messing with him.

It's very different from that in the U.S. and in certain senses is reversed - plus those of us in the South-East frequently apply our thoughts as being "southern" whilst they're as alien to the South-West as they are to the North.

By any reasonable definition, billy lives in the South, but I'm a tad bit further South than he - hence this map:

:P

You're not even that far away from each other. I can't read the scale but it looks like you could make the drive in one day. :D

I would estimate that about an hour's drive, tops.

Mmm mmm mm. Shame. :P

:blush:

4 or 5 other DUers live in the same city as I do and I've never met them. :P

Unless you're standing next to Tj. :P

and we could be the Frost Report. :D


(Only mason might understand that one). :P

That is the second time today I've typed that name. :P

You cannot type John Cleese too many times in one day. :bounce:

He is a funny funny man. :thumbsup:

:P

but, i'm seeing a lot of people taller than me lately. And most of them, are younger kids, who still have some growing left. I met a kid last year, who was 6'8, 210lbs, and he was only...gasp, 16...:)

:crazy: I can't imagine being that tall, and I'm pretty tall for a female.

I was considered a tall/big monster through high school, and now i see kids, in high school, who are roughly my size, and i'm like...damn, those steroids in our milk/beef, sure are working wonders....:) Of course, i'm sure its genetic's also...but damn!...:)

I used to be 5'9" but now, I am 5'8" as of my last doc visit. :hi:

:hi:

I go between 5'9" and 5'10".

;) :hi: Good to see you!

:hi:

I feel like a frickin' midget around here. It seems like most of the females are my height, and all the males are at least 6'2".

Except when I'm 5'9. Sometimes it varies. :P

With shoes on, I'm just above 5'10".:D

When I'm measured at the doctors I'm usually wearing my shoes. So, I might be a bit shorter than I've been thinking all these years. :silly:

Up to 6', depending on my hair. :D

:rofl:

;)

:P

:D

:P

Why won't my hair grow that fast?

:P

Damn genetics!

almost

Most pertinently, are you taller than me? :P

:P

5'9"ish 10"ish. Though it may be shorter because I just realized every time I am measured I'm wearing my shoes. So, likely right around your height. We'll be looking each other right in the eyes.

:blush:

:thumbsup:

x(

You're the same height as my daughter the lawyer. Funny, she grew two or three inches after she was out of high school. My youngest daughter seems to be doing the same thing. They're the tall ones, and me and my oldest girl are the shorties of the family. We don't look like we belong together.

We don't look alike at all. My father and I could be twins if we were the same age.

Being tall can just be irritating because I hover far above most other people I know. :P

:P

Redstone

Great pic, too. :hi:

refrigerators make great leaning posts too, doncha think?

well, minus a couple inches....

I like your sigline, btw. Is that from "London"?

Cubit is the name for any one of many units of measure used by various ancient peoples. The natural cubit is based on the distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person. It was employed consistently — to measure originally cords and textiles for example — also in Middle-Ages up to the Early Modern Times. This natural cubit measures 24 digits or 6 palms or 1½ foot. This is about 45 cm or 18 inches.

(I enjoy wikipedia)

As for the quote in my sig-line, it's from "The Proverbs of Hell", part of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. I really, really enjoy William Blake! :D

But it's easier to ask. :P

I should've known that was from the Marriage of Heaven and Hell, as that's one of the proverbs. Duh. I like William Blake, too. :D

:hi:

I'm a tall lady.

I have face even my mother doesn't love. Yet I get all the girlz.

:P

You cannot help but dig me. I'm like a dwarf Rasputin or something.

Inquiring minds want to know.

:P

:P

Smartass. :7

if I were really 4' tall. Chicks dig short ugly guys. I've quit trying to figure yas out.

What makes you think you will? :D

but you seem to be immune.

Your planet or mine? ;-)

Maybe closer to 5'11", but it's a good, round number. :P

Which used to be really tall for a woman. Now I see young women over 6' tall on a regular basis.

:P

:P

:D

:think:

As for me, I'm 5'9'' in the boots I work outside in -- I had to know in order to use a handheld sighting level -- but I don't know what my true barefoot measurement is.

I'm not sure what my height is sans shoes, either.

This is a subject of a debate that I'm always left out of.
