Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This statement doesn't even parse in my 2-stepstools, plus a long-handled grabby thing in the kitchen world.

Long-handled grabby thing is a recipe for knockover disaster for me. I do have a stepstool, but I don't like how it looks, and hide it far away.

I don't have much choice. I'm barely 5'3" (5'2 1/2" if you believe my GP's nurse. I don't choose to), and I'm the tall one in my household.

Your plan has a tremendous amount of potential, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have one that's fairly ugly, but it folds up and fits in between my fridge and the wall. I use it with frequency.

Epic, I'm 5'3", too. We buy our underwear in the same place and are the same height. We are TWINS!!

eta: AND! I am the tall one in my household too!!! Of course, the only other one in my household is a cat, but still, I'm WAY taller than him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have a stepladder in the kitchen, since the BF (aka "Tally McHeightypants") puts everything very very high. Since he does 95% of the cooking, however, I don't mind that I can't reach half our stuff without climbing.

At 5'8, I'm mildly resentful when I need to get stuff off the top shelf. On the other hand, this kitchen has more cupboard space than I can properly use (well, if you don't count that there's nowhere to put the mop or the garbage can), so I'm not up there that often, and I mostly just kneel on the counter.

Can I have some of your cupboards? I have very little storage space, which is why I use my stepladder all the time. I have to use every bit of shelf space I have.

Always wondered when I'd meet my doppleganger. I guess the answer is...2 weeks from today. Meep!

Oh, by the by, did I ever confirm my spot in your room on Saturday after Prom? 'Cuz, I meant to. Just y'know, blonde and stuff.

Nope, but you just did, so it's good.

Just y'know, blonde and stuff.

SEE??? I'm blonde, too. TWINS, I tell ya.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm 4'11'', which I think Dave seems to have forgotten, because I was going to make the salad and I just noticed that the salad bowl is way up high too.
