Keep your hopes up... My cat in the picture, Luigi, got lost for a month when we first moved to Portland.  I spend hours a day for 3 weeks looking for him, posted signs, ads, rewards and anything else you could possibly imagine.  Finally I gave up and assumed he had died because the city was so new to him... so I flew back to Mississippi to spend Thanksgiving with my family.  I was temporarily living with some people at the time until I got established, and as soon as I got home they called me and told me my cat just walked in the house out of nowhere... after 3 weeks of missing.  Cats are bizarre =)

Random for a thread on height still very true

I'm the same height. I seem to be shorter than most guys but taller than some girls!

5'6"

5'11" here... sometimes I wish I could be shorter, but then sometimes I really enjoy being tall.

5'9"

Just a few days ago, I found that my sister had a pair of 3" wedges that fit me perfectly, boosting me to about 6'2".  She's barely an inch shorter than me, and when she put them on and I had to look up at her, I just said "Oh, I have GOT to get me a pair of those!"

lol, why is it that I imagine a sisterly cold war, with each side getting taller heels to remain taller than the other

Such a war can surely only end in a tragic, stilts-related accident.

finally someone near my height i felt short not anymore !! 

i'm 5'11.5", just shy of 6' and sometimes I mourn being so tall and sometimes I'm ok. The truth is I generally avoid heels because I don't wish to get the extra scrutiny that being 6'4" brings! Sometimes if I wear 5" heels I get looked at quite a bit more and then someone is then focusing on my details. I'm not certain I want anyone taking such a close look. If I was 5'8" with size 10 shoes I'd be much happier

barefoot i am 5'9"

Not being able to wear heels without looking silly is what bothers me.

I wouldn't worry too much about the height thing if that's all that holds you back.  When I was trying on shoes yesterday, there were two other girls there who were taller than me, one trying on the same heels that I was, the other trying on a different pair.  The ones I tried on looked so good that I bought them.

Then I wore those heels to dinner and my sister wore her wedges.  She was taller than I was!!

Never worry that your height will inhibit you, ladies--- my girlfriend is 5'9" and cisgendered. In fact, she has scoliosis, which makes her shorter... when she is able to have regular chiropractic treatments, she tops out at 6' even. No one would ever question that she's female. It's all in how you carry yourself, etc... and this is coming from a 5'6" man who's never had a problem passing due to height.

5'14....

177 cm or 5'10". I'm quite satisfied with my height. Taller than average for a girl but not so tall that it's particularly unusual. That, combined with being 54 kgs or 120 lbs, makes me fit typical model proportions.
