In that point yeah. But people do have that ability to grow past their prospective size from their genetics. Elsewise I'd be no taller than 5'10 right?

Genetics aren't as simple and predictable as 'my parents and grandparents are like X then I should be roughly X too'.

For me... Well the school nurse and some other people got on my case in my teens because they were worried I didn't eat enough. And the nurse even had a neat little graph showing my height-weight measurements over the years and clearly showed how my growth was slowing down way too soon as it wasn't following the projected growth graph.
So... If I had eaten like a normal person I probably would've been a lot taller today!

But... I'm still 176cm/5'9"! And I like my height, I'm quite happy I didn't get taller! Being another 10cm/4in would've been... Weird. ._.

And both my parents are pretty short! My grandparents not quite as short but still shorter than me!

I was told I'd be 6'4 when I was 20. I was told this news upon turning 6. Apparently they were right considering no one of the males in my family is below 6'0. Also, to make you shorties feel shorter, the human race is only getting taller. In 1000 years, the average height will probably be 6'8. XD

I was supposed to be 6'6", but I'm a foot under that. Why? Apparently, certain drugs in combination just outright block growth.

I'm going to assume one of those drugs had a steroid in it.

A lot of people where I live had 8+ days without power a couple weeks ago. No ice, no air conditioning, in 100+ degree weather. A lot of sick people, my own father passed because of it, and the electric company thinks the customers should pay for their cleanup.

Great times we live in!

Wow that's terrible.(Also sorry to hear) I didn't whine much with that 3-4 hours but it was reaaaallllyyyy annoying I can't imagine 8 days. @_@

Then again NY did have that one summer black out, but I was in another state when that happened.
