Then he grew 8 inches in a year and now he's around 6'3".
Yikes! I grew four inches in one year and I thought that was bad.... (I am also 6'3".)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, Tep, I watched "Bull Durham" again over the weekend...it had been a while, and I think I love it more! Our weather in June is an awful, cruel thing, with the worst of the cosmic joke being July 4.I always wondered what it would be like to, you know, enjoy fireworks without wondering where in hell you are. Spring and October are the best we have.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
vw--it is a hard life, but there might also be a cultural bias toward darkness in stories and songs. A Chinese-American friend was talking to me about "Crouching Tiger" in terms of Peking Opera and she said "Chinese love to cry. They don't feel they get their money's worth from a show unless there are a lot of tears." Chinese in daily life are more cheerful and laugh a lot, but in the theater they want the sorrow, even today. Maybe there is something like that going on? My dad worked in Appalachia for 3 years in anti-poverty work and there was a lot of horror but also a lot of camaraderie and sly joking and goofing around.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Maybe the human drive for catharsis?

Would you believe, I asked for roller blades. No idea if I will get them...but I put the idea out there.

Happy birthday lexine- that's all I have for the day, or so far.
I'm a little hungover.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I've heard that girls typically stop growing around menarche.
I had the really rapid growth where I needed completely new clothes every six months in the two years before (i.e. 10-12), but I grew several more inches by the time I turned 14, at which point I was 5'6". I gradually grew two more inches and hit my full height at 18 or 19.
Oh, and I don't know if this is typical or not, but my feet grew before the rest of me did. There are pictures of me as a 9-year-old with these great big woman-feet holding up a skinny, petite girl-body.
