Now, our ferrets would tell you that this is not at all OT because they adore Colleen (and vice versa), and we adore that she can get over the ferret room barrier far more easily than we can. Of course, she can; her inseam is 40" long when she isn't wearing heels. For those who don't know, Steve and I have a number of tall friends, and one of the closest -- pretty much best described as being part of our chosen family -- is Colleen who has even gotten stuck in some SUVs. Steve, too, is tall, though not as tall as Colleen, and he and Colleen have been working to try to get products for tall people so that they can be more comfortable since all the bending that smaller furniture requires can become painful and even be dangerous (for example, the increased leg clot risk on many airplane rides). There are some in the works, and at this site as of today are two HILARIOUS videos made my Colleen and her mom which may help someone here who is tall if Bill thinks that us talking about family things which are not directly ferret would be okay. This one can be made for anyone who needs a higher cutting board and made to size needs. Colleen's is both taller and larger than Steve's, for example. (I am only a few inches over average but even for me Steve's Colleenified cutting board which brings things up about the 6 and a half inches which he personally needs permits me to do fine cuts because it is better for working with my eye damage.) http://www.6footsix.com/ or direct YouTube URLs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_13xVIFV-1A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI7AZH9gtJg Warning: do NOT be drinking anything while watching these or you will spit on your monitor when you laugh. The reason I thought of sending them here is because I've heard from some FML members who are tall recently. Now I'd better shut up on the topic to not overstay putting a family post in this time instead of a ferret one, or as Wolfy says, "Ferret, ferret, ferret!"
