mammag wrote: I was at the dr's office yesterday. Well, the last time I was measured was when I was like 19 or something. They told me 5'4. Well, I had measured myself another time and came up with 5'3 3/4. I went to the dr. yesterday and they measured me.....5'2 1/2! WHAT!?! I'm either shrinking or was measured wrong before! Now how does someone shorter than 5'3 have size 9 shoes???

I'm embarassed because my driver's license says 5'4...

GavinsMommy replied:

gr33n3y3z replied: I'm still shorter then you I'm 5'2

ediep replied: I am 5'0 even, but my mom had that problem. She was shrinking....1/2 inch in a year. Her doc told her to take 600-1000mg of Calcuim a day and the next year she had regained that 1/2 inch. I think her doc said it could be bone loss in the spine.

3xmommy replied: I know how ya feel about being short. I'm 5'2. I don't much mind being little until I'm stuck at the store wondering how the hell I'm gonna get something off the top shelf. Then, it sucks to be short!

I only wear like a size 6-7 in shoes though.

moped replied: Cornbread? Interesting.

bwalkerletters replied: Yeah, we're cornbread fed in TN haha

3xmommy replied: Cornbread and Pinto beans... hmm. I haven't had that in a while. Yummy! I have to cook it everyday though because my four year old will only eat that, bologna, or cake! LOL!

bwalkerletters replied: Actually my favorite meal growing up was white beans and cornbread.....with a little salt and pepper......MMMMMMM.....MMMMMMMMMMMM I'm getting hungry now! Thanks 3X!

Gracee142 replied:
Yummm.. care to share any recipes?? I love cornbread and beans of any kind. I had the best bean dishes in Florida.. omg to die for.. can't find anything like that where I live.

3xmommy replied: As for the beans, I'll take a 1 pound bag of pinto beans and 1 pound bag of white beans to mix them... be sure you look the beans though cuz sometimes you'll run into a bad bean or even a small rock fill your pot up enough to cover your beans... put your beans in and let them start to cook... when theyre nearly done, add about 2-3T cooking oil (i even sometimes put about half a package of bacon in there, it makes em good) and then salt to taste. it usually takes me about all day to do it because i slow cook mine so theyll be ready just at supper time but i imagine you can do it much faster by using higher heat

bwalkerletters replied: you can put some ham in with it too just like the bacon

Gracee142 replied:
OMG Thank You .. that sounds so good.. I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow night!! YUMMMYYYY

Also I hear as you get older you shrink.. my sister did and then she went to physio for a bad back and they put her on the traction machine and stretched her out again .. she had another inch on her height!! Go figure...

bwalkerletters replied: Gracee, like I said before, the secret is eating cornbread, so have that for dinner tomorrow, and keep having it for dinner every now and then, and you'll grow haha......I'm craving it now myself

Gracee142 replied:
That's sounds really good.. I am gonna do both.. I'm salivating now.. gotta go get something to eat .. All I need now is a cornbread recipe!! Thank You!! Dinner is gonna be yummy tomorrow!! My kids will love 'em! Thanks Guys!

Gracee142 replied:
but but but... I need a recipe... "a tried and true" recipe????? but I wanna make sure I grow the right way tho...and that is up and not out..

bwalkerletters replied: I grew UP and not OUT hahaha

Gracee142 replied:
I had to settle for Special K with rice dream milk and a banana.. not quite the beans and bread i want ...but it hits the spot! Have a good night!

Gracee142 replied:
Good.. at this stage in my life.. UP is ok.... out is not OK.. Gotta maintain my girlish figure!!

mammag replied: Wow.....didn't expect this to turn in to a recipe post.....

I don't mind necessarily being short.....just that I feel like a fool going around saying I'm 5'4 and people were probably thinking "yeah right, sure you are"...

gr33n3y3z replied:
that would be funny to see

A&A'smommy replied: awww lol I'm sure they measured you wrong a few times!

PanthersGirl replied: i am 5'6 and wear a size 7 LOL

Mommy2BAK replied: yall are making me hungry, here in Arkansas we eat Black eyed peas and cornbread. I'm not sure it gets much better!

BTW sorry you are shrinking, LOL. I have aways said that I can't wait to shrink. I am 5'6.
