Depression among LLers

A lot of guys below 5'5 are living happy lives - don't extrapolate your feelings to others. This is like when healthy people are asked how they imagine living in a wheelchair or as a blind person. Most say that life would be so horrible they would probably kill themselves. But when people are actually confined to a wheelchair or blinded by accidents, most manage to keep living happily after.

I'd recommend anyone planning to have surgery on their tibias to stop wearing lifts for several months prior to surgery.
When women wear heels their calf muscles and achilles tendon become stiff, so I assume the same holds true for men and lifts.

How about your sh*tty God would have eradicated deformation, dwarfism, men shorter than women, transgender, autism, wisdom teeth, lady-beards, androgenetic alopecia and so on in the first place?

What you said is absolutely correct. That phrase just randomly came to mind as I read it somewhere in an article...I take it back lol.

I want to post a picture showing the shoes I wear with lifts and elevator shoes but I'm getting an error "The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator." Any idea what I might be doing wrong, the photo I'm trying to upload is just 200kb.

Thanks friends.
The dress shoes I wear (special events) give about 3.25 inches in height and are from tallmenshoes, I'd say pretty solid height increase. The other are for regular use high top sneakers (almost flat heeled), I use about 2 inch inserts in them for a total height gain of 2 inches (they are soft cushioned, so when you walk, they compress a bit). The inserts can easily be found on Amazon.

Most likely I would have joined the military if I didn't get CLL, or go up to Alaska again to work on a fishing boat, but long term.

How is running with 2" inserts? Is it possible?
I'm tying to imagine the moment when someone has taken home his new girlfriend for the first time and both are taking off their shoes 'n heels


@ topic: Well, I wouldn't be here anymore without LL

Very easy, they are soft gel cushioned as can be seen in the second link. And yea really awkward and hilarious at same time when they both take their shoes off. xD The dress shoes are kinda hard to walk in, the patent leather (hard material) makes it worse.
