    Were the “little old ladies” taller when they were younger?

    Definitely. My great-grand-mother is much smaller than she used to be!

    I’m sure they were shorter in their early childhood.

    WIY: Are you implying that tall people don’t shrink?

    And what causes people to shrink?

    i heard that the only things that don’t shrink are people’s noses and ears, and that’s why they sometimes look rather large on older people’s faces.

    Don’t know. But COFFEE, they say, certainly helps.

    Physically, definitely yes. Diet and exercise can help. It affects men as well as women, though men usually expire faster so its less noticable.

    Mentally, a little bit – but experience makes up for it. The CPU is a little slowers and occasionally runs into bad clusters, but the programming’s sophistication improves with time and experience. Obviously, that doesn’t take into account illness or injury.

    ZK: The caffeine in coffee actually stunts growth.

    iced, that’s obviously what I meant. This thread is about shrinking.

    people lose water with age, and that’s why their body tissues shrink.

    So can they drink water to make up for the loss?

    Tzaddiq says ears and noses don’t shrink. They actually grow, especially politicians’ noses.

    Yes and No.

    Osteoperosis can be prevented or somewhat prevented by taking certain Vitamins throughout life. Calcium is one of them.
