i can relate, ein,,, i remember people asking me: "gee, have you always been that short",, lol, i never felt bad cause i knew i could take them down at the knees any time i wanted,, and i had all the advantages in most ways. keep that in mind, they have no idea how nice it is to be able to curl up in a chair,, or all the other things you will find in life to be happy about,,, best wishes,, Gus
