KHANNNNNNN Posts: 25,544 Group: Vulcan Nirvana Member #14 Joined: November 18, 2005	Because I have to choose, I've gone with 8ft as I'm small now & there are times I could do with being a little bit taller. But for the most part, I'm ok with my height, though a couple of inches more would have been great.

You would also have to get a special extra long bed, etc. i was thinking that being weither height would be problematic because 96% of things are designed for people who are more "average" height. if you're 3 feet tall you can't get into cuppards or tall shelves without help. according to one SCI episode where they had a little person convention, they (in frank terms) can't wipe their own butt because their arms are too short, so thei have to use some stick-like thing to hole the TP. and at 8 feet you're too tall for cars & planes and have to duck to get into any building. for both, you have to special order clothes & shoes. plus there are various health problems that both sizes have.

........................... Posts: 13,333 Group: Movie Era 10000 post spammer Member #1,478 Joined: November 14, 2007	Being on the tall side myself, I sort of take it for granted, so my opinion might be biased from having never experienced extreme shortness. However, having worked in a hospital I must admit, in life being big complicates a lot Nobody around 7 foot lives to be 90, & if they get up over 70, the remaining years of their life are hell. Age kicks big people's asses, but a 4 foot Asian lady? She'll dive for pearls until she's 115 3 feet vs 8 feet are extremes that almost always relate to a health issue on either account, which carries complications for both I wouldn't want to be either, anymore than I'd want to suffer any other kind of malady But if we were choosing from otherwise normal conditions that were either 4 foot vs 7 foot. I'd choose 4 foot to live out the rest of my life, and buy some step stools

Plus I am figuring less of a weight issue there. At 3' you have very little margin for caloric overages. Hence, greyhound or Great Dane instead of chihuahua, I suppose.
	Once Ixalla was ready, Tathrelle cornered her. �Before we leave for work, I just want to tell you, I�m sorry. I guess I sort of shut down last night. I know you were in pain and I wasn�t too terribly supportive.� There was a wall covering in the main part of their chamber, something that Tathrelle hadn�t noticed before. She stared at it for a second and then shook her head. Outside, a disembodied voice announced from a hidden speaker, �It is time to travel to all daytime places of employment. Transportation sleighs are available and ready. Citizens are encouraged to thank the sleigh drivers at the end of a successful transport. The government recommends haste, and requests that all pregnant persons be given preference for seating in their designated areas.� A little distracted, Ixalla just asked, �Pain?� Untrustworthy - by me, actually.
