@ellerbracke My gender? Yep, I am an old woman. I used to be almost 5'4" but have shrunk to 5'2.5". I broke a vertebra in 2004 and was told then that I would probably lose some height but it didn't happen until the last few years.
Also, I am not even close to being a he-man or woman. I work at exercising, something that I started very late in life. My son is amazed at how often I go to the gym since I never exercised when he was younger. He sort of inspires me, and is my cheerleader. My parents both passed away in their 60s and my sister and I both figure that if they had been more active they probably would have lived longer. She read recently that a sedentary life is as bad for your health as smoking.
