Jess, they measured me when I went for my physical, and I was a half inch shorter than I've always maintained is my height (5'3.5", and at this height, that half an inch is important
 ). It affected me more than I would have imagined. I don't see myself as a 5'3" woman, I am 5'3.5" dang-it. I hope I get that half inch back.

Hey Cathy,
Just think about how a man would feel with the same complaint.
