Originally Posted By Ursula 9 feet tall. Since I'm already short, there are a LOT of problems with being short that tall people don't have.

Forget grocery shopping, I can't reach the top shelf even if I jump. I know tall people have problems too. My boss is tall and it is funny when he has to use my computer since I have my desk designed for my height. He can barely fit at my desk. So, it goes both ways, really. And I am 5' 2".
Originally Posted By mater4 I would have to say short. I would think that it would be easier to fit on the rides at DL this way. Although I would need some shoes with lifts to go on the rides with height requirements.
Originally Posted By DAR I'd say 3ft tall. That way I could get a part in the upcoming Hobbit films. Or I could play a Jawa in the Star Wars tv show. BTW isn't this supposed to be #4?

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmm, I think I would go short. More things that you can do rather than not. Plus a normal bed would seem huge.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle 3ft tall, I think. My back would not be able to handle the hunching over all the time if I were 9ft fall. btw..."Would you rather...#4" is already out there. It's just called "Would you rather..."
Originally Posted By iamsally I was thinking, "Of course 3 feet. Not that much shorter than I am now." But then I got to thinking about how many calories a 9ft. person would need to consume each day. Hmmmm........
Originally Posted By lesmisfan i dont know if i would like to be either. you so limited with both heights. so ill just plead the fifth.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I think 3 ft. I am already short and can't stand it, so it surprises me that I would say that. Like Ursula, I am 5'2" (well, close anyway) and it makes you feel so juvenile to have your feet dangling when you sit in a chair or on the couch (and especially a public toilet). And like her, I never can reach things on the top shelf in a store. I am forever looking around for some tall person to "please" hand me something down. And store clerks are never around when you want them. I have gone so far as to climb IN my grocery cart and hang on to the shelves so the cart doesn't move while I get something up high. But tall people don't necessarily have it so good either. You should see Schmitty in Shiva's Firebird. and then there are all those tall jokes... but 3 ft. and 9 ft. are extremes in either direction and come with their own sets of problems. But I'm used to being short so I guess it wouldn't be such a "stretch" for me. LOL

The tallest man was 8'11" tall and he ate about 8,000 calories a day. But then on the other hand. As expensive as food is getting, I would run out of money and starve to death.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Feeling quite tall at 5'3" Yesterday I was at the office standing on a step stool. I could see over the partitions. I asked DH if this was what he could see (he is 6'2") and he said no he could see even more. It was like being in another world. I think I'd like to try the 9' but just for a little while. Like Alice in Wonderland.
