I'm a tall 6' 2", and I frequently forget that I am taller than ND. Four inches taller, even. Though in my defense, I tend to slouch, and ND's hair gives him a couple of inches of illusionary height.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm 4'10". Though at the doctor today, they said 4'11". Several people who are around 5'1" or so have said that they thought I was about their height, and didn't believe I was actually shorter until we stood up and they actually looked to see. So I seem taller? I'm not sure.
I just finished reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard. That was fun.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't pay much attention to height and I find myself frequently attracted to people both taller and shorter than I am. I'm 5'7 1/2 and I've dated a guy who was 6'4" and a couple of gals under 5'5". The guy who's been giving me chills at work these days is probably 5'5" or 5'6".

For whatever reason, this image made me giggle. I may be a wee bit hopped up on caffeine after trying to fight this migraine all day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it still bothering you, Barb? I hope not.
Doctor gave me meds so I wouldn't have to go to the ER. Knock me on my ass he said they would.
Harrumph.

Not so much anymore, ita. Caffeine, meds, and a hot shower finally seemed to have shaken it loose. What's left behind is what I call the "ghost." The vestiges of what was there, almost like it's lingering, waiting for a chance to reestablish.
What'd the doc give you that he thought would knock you on your ass?

He prescribed me Phenergan. Told me to take it and lie down. I did. None of the sleepy came.

The status is NOT quo.
But...isn't that just an anti-nausea drug? I happen to be really sensitive to it, so I end up listing it with my allergies on medical forms.
ETA: Never mind. Just looked it up here: [link] . Huh. Still not seeing how it's supposed to make you all better, but I don't have an MD.

So, I didn't get a massage at SFO, but I did buy an upgrade to economy plus seating that came with a special, shorter security line.
It was worth every penny.

It was in combination with Keterolac (Toradol), but he knows that doesn't fix me. I dunno. I'm saving the one drug that I know sometimes works for vacation where there is no ER.
