You should come trick-or-treating with us - my friend has already decided to bring some with us while we go house to house (although not that concoction )!

Me too! Luckily, Aadil is 6'2 or '3, so I can wear my highest heels and still be shorter than him Now, if only I could walk in them...

Ran a Yoga company for a couple of years. Catalog and on-line. I will send you their website name so you can see my handy work. Remember, 100% of what I say is true BS.

Indeed. I just bought dress pants for work, and each and every pair was too short. I had to buy them anyway (my Regional Manager was in and I was wearing jeans, oops!) so they look ridiculous. AND I can't find the receipt, so now I'm stuck with them.
I asked my mom how they looked and the first thing she said was "They're way too short."

BAH!

I know everyone wishes to be tall, but there are many days that I wish for 5'5" and size 7 shoes! BAH, indeed!

The shoes are the worst part. It is pretty much impossible to find Christian Laboutin heels, or Burberry heels, or Minolo Blahniks...
I guess it's good though, or I would CONSTANTLY be poor, but have the most beautiful shoes
I spend my money on purses instead!

Less on purses, save more for a Rolex, Ash!

Nancy, me too. Vertically challenged, aren't we? Yep, I have to cut off my jeans and pants and hem them, and that's if I can find my size in the first place!

Oh, not to bore you with my ailments - but chronic sinusitis. Allergies make it worse, but it's always there.Singulair helps a lot, though.
Al suffers terribly with sinusitus. A couple of years back, he was on serious medication for sinus infection. The pain was unbearable. A lot of people don't realize how serious sinus infections can be. Seriously...it can actually spread to your brain!...(which in Al's case wasn't an issue)....

OK Nancy and Lisa, you can send the extra pants lengths to Ashley and me, and all our pants will fit properly!
