Yeah, I know I said I wouldn't do this, but it was so much fun! And the subject is rather interesting! And I know we have hippies in Oly... They make the place fun at times. After having an argument about what hippies are, I started researching them a bit. (Hey, I'm 27 I missed the summer of love by a couple of years, okay?) and found lots of fun hippie facts! Man, wikipedia knows like EVERYTHING ! Hippies He's an Old Hippie....
Are you a hippie? Take the Hippie Quiz! And the Way of the Hippy And in all fairness, the Anti-Hippie Action League
This is all just light hearted fun okay? No judgments on what a hippie is or if that is a bad thing. Can you dig it? I had a groovy time researching this and wanted to share man. I expect my hippie grammar will be critiqued though.

Of course, it was kind of the "in" thing at the time for kids to be raised without their fathers, so I guess he was just being trendy. None of the cool kids when I was growing had dads that were around.
Just let me know if you

I was a product of a situation exactly the opposite. My Mom and Dad divorced when I was 4 and my *DAD* was awarded (like we're trophies or something) custody of my sister and me. At the time it was nearly unheard of but she just couldn't keep off the stuff - all of it. My sister was still an infant.
I had an every other weekend relationship with her until I was 13. She was to pick me up one Friday evening for her weekend and never showed up. Haven't seen or heard from her since then. That was 1998.

Please give me a second grace. Please give me a second face. I've fallen far down, the first time around, now I just sit on the ground in your way.
