Wow. If you're not kidding, maybe we can do a trade (or what we used to call an "energy exchange"). I published a book in 2007. How about I send you a copy of my book and you send me a painting? That would be so groovy!

Morgana: I can totally relate about waking up to the '80s and wondering where all the flowers had gone.

In fact, there was quite a difference in consciousness between myself (born 1958) and my brother (born 1961). Whenever we'd go on family outings to beautiful places, I'd say "Wow, look at that incredible mountain!" and my brother would say, "Yeah, I wonder how much it's worth and how many houses I could build on it?"


To your brother's quip: "Not in this market..."

That's for sure. It would be hard to get the financing to build a house right now. It's hard to get the financing to buy one. When my husband and I bought a house in November, everyone involved came to the closing in a state of utter disbelief. It was probably the friendliest closing in history.

Yep- sounds just like me.

I am a hippie in spirit. In 1967 and 1968 I wanted to live in San Francisco. I wish I had gone to Woodstock. I love "hippy chick" clothes. My hair is longish for a man. Here is a great website about everything hippy: http://www.hippy.com/php/index2.php .

Hello G.,

This has got to be one of the best lines I've ever seen on WP:

Best (Hippie) Wishes - What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Or "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" (that was from Judge Judy).

the australian version of that is " don't piss in my pocket."
Given that i think in pictures, this phrase can lead me to imagine alll sorts of strange methods of relating between people.....
i kid you not.
