Tall women's skin cancer risk

[AnyDream]

Uh oh, it's all that extra surface area LOL! Which is a bit of problem cos I've got waaay more surface area than some.

So here's a list of why being TALL is not as great as all the shorties would imagine:
Shorties always asking you to get things down from the top shelf at the shops
Never enough room for your legs in the cinema
Tall = big feet = can never find shoes you like
Pants are always too short!
Cold ankles (pants, above, and socks too short)
People think you're scary
Highheels become ridiculous
You have to wade out much further before you can't touch the bottom at the pool
You can see the dust on everyone's fridge
You have to adjust the car seat and mirrors everytime you drive

and now, skin cancer!! What next?

Gee, guess I'm safe cos I'm a shorty. But I'm a fat shorty. So does that mean that I'm still high risk cos I'm a chubber?

And I can't believe people actually get PAID for doing these "studies" when all it is used for is scaremongering.

Just my opinion of course.

In addition pants, tops also are never long enough - thats probably why I'm at increased risk of sun exposure! lol

hi ladies,

my mum passed away almost 3 yrs ago from melanoma and she wasn't fat or tall so i wouldn't worry too much. a lot of it is hereditary and also lifestyle. what a stupid study......if its going to happen it will happen. i don't spend my life worrying about the huge chance i might get it cos then i'd be a mushroom. just enjoy life i say!!
