well, thanks both. once I see a word that means not short but isn't tall I'll let y'all know.

hokie carla

aha

12:48 pm

phaeton

no one said not tall

12:49 pm

hokie carla

yeah, you said not short which to me means tall. it's really hard once you get one meaning stuck in your head to realize what the person meant

12:50 pm

hokie carla

I didn't say you all said not tall. but it's hard to follow with all the negatives I used.

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well, tall isn't here so try another word for not short.

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This could take a bit of time but I hope not too....

1:06 pm

hokie carla

so no one else is confused, my "aha" post meant I found it. once I thought of another word for not short I did try it, it's the thinking in another direction that got me.

1:08 pm

MollyL

This is like those "hmm, tall isn't in the grid" posts.

1:09 pm

hokie carla

well, when I think of opposite of short, I think tall. sorry.
