1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    I touch the skin on my face
    Feeling through to the bones
    No matter how many yards of flesh cover you
    Underneath it's all the same

    Break them
    Forsake them
    Make them a temple
    Or a mess of unrest

    May I find a place
    To rest these tired weary bones?

    Drink up that milk
    Need all the calcium you can get
    You'll be sorry when they start to break down
    And your left a pile of deflated rubber
    Laying on the bathroom floor
    Can't get up
    Can't sit down
    Can't dance
    Can't walk
    Can't even move

    Bless all these tiny bones
    The frame of our lives
