How tall is everyone?

What, everyone? Or just everyone on Lit? 🤔

You’d probably reach the moon if we were all lined up, anyway. That’s tall.
 
In 1966, when I went into the United States Air Force, I was measured at 5'8 and 3/4". Now, 59 years later, I was just measured at my doctor's office at 5'6 and 3/4". I'll be spending the next few months trying to locate those 2 inches.

Start with your spine. The cartilage between each vertebra compresses during the day and expands again at night. Unfortunately, once they've done that a few thousand times they don't recover completely.
 
I was 5'9 at my last physical, after telling everyone I was 5'8 at my first one, fortunately someone who's 5'3 doesn't seem to care either way.

Unfortunately, I'm very aware, as several doctors over the years have told me exactly the same thing. At least if I fall, my ass is closer to the ground.
