I am VERY proud to be here amongst the kind and the wise !!

 

Stopping in to say hi! Nothing profound to say at the moment. Maybe nothing ever profound to say, except in MY mind. Gone again!

 

peace to all here....thanks to skip for letting me in....I'm looking forward to hearing, and seeing, all the wisdom, joy and peace that you'll share...

 

wanted to say hi, and thank skip for letting me in.

being among the younger of the crowd, would like to say thanks to all you folks for your stories and post of the early days. I can read that stuff all day!

thanks again to all!

Hi all old hippies,

glad to be here, feel free to direct me to the right places, I'm still feeling my way around.
cheers Hippymuso from Oz.

 

Greetings and salutations to all,


great to find a place for people of a similar ilk.

Yes, I'm afraid we have these 'new hippies' in Australia too, except over here they are called 'ferals', I have no problem with these people or their way of life, my only worry is health issues concerning the kids, but each to their own, the way this world is going they may be the only people to survive.

One thing that hippies have always been about and that is tolerance of all people regardless of their religion colour or way of life.

Peace and love to all, hang in there guys. :rainbow:

 

Thank you Skip for making a place for us. I lost my way and wandered into some young ones, not a very friendly bunch. I have a hard time calling them hippies. Like hippymuso said, tolerance of all people regardless of their religion color or way of life. Might want to add age or generation to that.

 

I really don't like the word 'old'


I prefer to use the term 'ageless'

 

No one should be looked at as old, we should just think of ourselves as the ones that got here first to make it a better place for those that would follow, ok now that we have all said hello, oh everyone but me, so hello to all, now that is over with, what shall we talk about, I hope something, these groups dont to seem to do well. We have all seen so much together that we should have something to say to one another. I was on another old hippy members group and it went well for a while but then as fast as it started it died, hope this one does better, soooo what do we talk about, music, politics, war, Taco Bell, or just plain old every day cataclysmic ectoplasm, what do you think everyone, anyone. Lets talk to each other shall we ?

Peace

 

I'm not the one who used the "O" word. I am, and have always been, me. My Great Grandmother was 97 when she died. She waited till my Grandmother left to go shopping and went to chop wood for her stove. When they found her she had a smile on her face. If you rest you rust. And age has nothing to do with that.
Taco Bell? Now I'm hungry, gosh darn it siverhippy thats your doing.
As far as the old hippies not talking or this site dying out it wont happen as long as there are at least two of us left. This is a big room and people circulate, it doesn't mean the partys over. Spring is here, 78 one day 38 the next, from flowers to frostbite dont you just love it. I envy you folks with a long growing season.

 

Hey man, hope all is well with you, and yeah the weather here sucks too, it has been in the high 70s for like 5 days now it is 40 oh well welcome to Pittsburgh. I hope people talk here we have much in common and can share experances, and maybe some one could teach me how to spell, spelling the down fall of our generation at least on my end, Taco Bell, I kinda like Jack in the Box or just micky Ds, thats something I don't understand either, people are always talking about eating organic food and living green to be a hippy, we lived at pizza and fast food shops when we were young, and as for living green it was like hey sis turn up the heat I'm cold. Maybe it's just me but I don't get it, we could have been a bad sect of hippies, but I can't remember anyone having any desire for Yogert, a Big Mac will do just fine. Good to see you here take care man.

Peace

 

We were still getting snow up to 2 weeks ago! It's finally showing signs of spring here. Time to get busy prepping the garden.

I have always looked at life thru what I call 'the eyes of a child', and I have my 9 y/o gives me a renewed enthusiasm.

When my wife of 34 years left, I did not cry. I looked ahead in life, having my home, my garden, my health and many years of future.

 

Very cool outlook on life, to see life through the eys of a child, you can see everything for what it is, instead of seeing it as others have told you how you should see them. Things seem new to you and you can draw your own conclusions as to what they mean to you. Sorry to hear your wife left you, but you stayed strong and lived on and that's very cool also. So yeah you are one of the good ones.

Peace

 

We have my nieces two girls, 10 and 4 running around here during the week. I am going to miss them when school lets out. The 4 year old has redefined the world for every adult she meets. I wish I had their energy.
As far as spelling goes if it wasn't for spell check you wouldn't be able to read this.
My sister lives west of Seattle and is always bragging about how much better her weather is than ours. Now I can call her out on that.
Did you notice that spell check doesn't have an option for hippy? Keep the faith.
~Peace

 

silverhippy, I'm from the Pittsburgh area too...Washington County to be exact. I kinda miss that area, the mountains, and the autumns probably the most. I considered moving back there at one point, but other places call me more at this point...

I don't miss the winters. :ack:

 

Nice to meet you, you don't miss the winter ? Winter is very cool, fireplace blazing away warm and comfortable in your own little home, let it snow let it snow. Forget the other places come home we want you back.

Peace

 

Greetings All, Just another old/noob on the board. Did my time at many a GD and Little Feat concert and hope to reconnect with the present of my many people....Tim

 

I'm glad to be here too.. and so pleased to see that there are still so many of us left.
