Not lower, but I was getting the impression that they were bigger around than they were before.

It is interesting isn't it...

how the familiar feel of things can suddenly change when we get smaller?

This is one case when change is definately good!

Default The bathroom stalls are getting wider too!

I have found that the bathroom stalls have a lot more room too!!! I was about big enough for my butt to rub on both sides of the stall. Now it seems I have more room. Lucky us!

Funny you should mention it....I nearly screamed the other night thinking I was falling in because DH forgot to put the seat down (yet again!) and then I sat on the seat. I think all this walking has tightened my buns! YAY!

no it's the knees bending. . .your body sits down at the toliet all the time and your legs and knees know when you have reached the 'far'nuff' point. So our legs and knees send out panic signals. . ."WE ARE ABOUT TO FALL! IN THE BATHROOM! YOUR MOST HORRIBLE 911 SCENARIO IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD!". . .this usually panics my butt and right about the time adreniline is about to kick in and save me. . .my bottom hits the seat . . .and I think. . ."Humm, is it the floor?" redawn

I'm looking forward to not getting attacked by the toilet seat at my live in job. It's a wooden one with a big split in it which I can't avoid. If I'm not careful it's really vicious. When my legs get skinnier it should be easier to miss. I hope it doesn't get lower before I get skinny enough to miss it or it could be really messy. Once it bites me it's really difficult to make it let go.
I heard once that the ancient Greeks believed that we were put on earth for them to laugh at, sometimes I'm pleased to entertain them. Other times I wish they'd stop the joke.
