we're usually a bit more precise. i, for example, am 1.62 metres. often
also expressed in centimetres - 162 cm.

Thanks! I wasn't sure about that. We don't usually express a person's
height in inches, unless you're talking about a baby, so I thought the
same might be true in other countries.

"Granby" I don't know how we got here from DEPRESSION but am ready for
someone to
change the name of the thred. Talking about things sometimes helps and
sometimes make it worse, or so I have noticed in watching the posts
here.

My parents, who are 6'1" (Mum) and 6'8" (Dad) had their ktichen
renovated
and asked for everything to be raised up 10 centimetres. When they
asked for
quotes over the phone, most of the kitchen builders objected,
citing
various
buildign standards and the like. The one that got the job was the
one
who
instead of quoting over the phone came and actually measured the
kitchen and
by defintion met both parents. He was the one who agreed that the
kitchen
ought ot be raised, but said it ought to be raised not 10cm but
15cm
(6
inches) so that Mum could put the flat of her palm on the bottom of
the
kitchen sink without bending over (which is, apprantly, how it
should
be).
He's the one that got the contract, and Mum's kitchen is the only
one
I feel
truly comfortable (physically) working in, everybody else's
(including
my
own) is just too low.

Wow, I must be behind on this thread - not sure how we got here from
"Depression".

Anyway, I have two friends who had the opposite issue - they're both
pretty short. One is about 5'3" and the other is about 4'10".
(Getting

height!) They didn't remodel their kitchen, but they did have their
kitchen table and all 6 chairs shortened. I'm a shortie, too, and I
really like sitting at their table!

Joyce, listening to Smudge growl at Everett - she sounds like
something
out of The Exorcist.
