I believe I have been 5' 7 and 1/2' since 1999. Not sure if it's osteoporosis or not but it helps when you consider that I was the tallest women in my class in my younger years. People always asked me, "Why are you so tall?". I said, "Don't ask me. It must have been in the water." lol.
Now all the younger girls are much taller.
I wonder why we keep getting larger. Weird.

I really don't want a funeral for myself.
Perhaps funerals are not for oneself. Perhaps they are for those who continue living, to honor the passage of oneself, from present being, to memory and legacy.
Some of this transition must be done in quiet solitude, one person at a time. But some of it also must be done collectively, as a group, by the friends, family, neighbors and colleagues who once knew you as a present being.
Groups of people need their collective habits, customs and rituals, as they go through life's changes, just as do solitary individuals.
Wish well those who would meet in public at your funeral; wish them well in carrying on with life.

People are getting taller. I asked my husband why, but I quit listening about half way through his answer.

I used to know the answer to this, but now my tiny brain can't remember it.
I worked on a whole bunch of "KGOY" marketing stuff for dolls and other toys. Kids Getting Older Younger was based partially on the bigger and bigger shoe and clothes sizes, as well as heights, in subsequent generations of children in the 20th century.
It's not as simple as food or health care.
