If You're Hippie and Ya Know It - Drop Your Pants!

[Ziggy Moon]

OK, don't really drop your pants! It just sounds good for a thread title.<br><br>I realize many of you may have come to know each other by actually meeting.... or maybe just by being around this forum for a long time and sharing specific details with each other regarding your personal life. <br><br>But I'm fairly new, and haven't had the chance to actually meet any of you in real life, nor have I had any in-depth one-on-one chats with anyone.<br><br>So, I'm just curious to know if there are any vandwellers out there who consider themselves to be a Hippie or at least Hippie-Centric.<br><br>For me, it would be cool to know there or others out there who not only share the desire to live life on the road, but also share other interests. <br><br>Please just play along... make yourself known and also give a brief explanation of why you consider yourself to be a Hippie or Hippie Centric (excluding the obvious - living in a van/truck/car, etc. and other identifiers related to this website).<br><br><br><br>

I was a hippie and political radical in the 60's.&nbsp; But then, most of the people I knew were. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

Well I'll tell you one thing....there was a lot of pants dropping in the 60's.

[Willy]

&nbsp;I ain't a 'hippie', but I'm 'easy', so adds up to the same thing. ..Willy.

 

[creationode]

I am a hippy in that I am 'hip' to what matters for me to be happy and live a long, peaceful life.<br><br>I used the motta for almost 15 years, nearly every day.&nbsp; THAT was an eye opener.<br><br>I have since changed.&nbsp; So that was pretty hippy, I suppose.

&nbsp; But of course!&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">&nbsp; Lots of 'conspiracy' charges in those days.&nbsp; My brother, a Vietnam vet, was arrested for conspiracy, too.&nbsp; Ah, those were the days, LOL!<br><br>After the sixties, I later became a staunch Reagan conservative and still later evolved into what I am now---an Independent.&nbsp; But I was in it up to my eyebrows in those days.&nbsp; A lot of good memories, too.&nbsp;

@ DazarGaidin - Yep! I'm all for more personal freedom, and less government! <br><br>@ offroad - A very active Hippie, huh?<br><br>@ Willy - Easy Like Sunday Morning!? <br><br>@ creationode - "<em>be happy and live a long, peaceful life</em>" ... Raw Foodie? <br><br>@ mockturtle - I bet you have some very cool stories to tell.

 

[Ziggy Moon]

Well... I just posted what looks like a scrolling text, that sucks!

 

[twokniveskatie]

were you cutting and pasting anything in that post? That was one of the hardest mopups I ever had to do....sorry if I took out any thing important. It was really goofy on this end....not trailing down for me but all run together sentences with all kinds of symbols.....

 

[Ziggy Moon]

Nope, no copy and paste - all hand typed. I see that the post is now completely gone now. Bummer!<img src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

 

[Ziggy Moon]

Whoops.. no it's there.. but without the names of who i was addressing

 

[twokniveskatie]

I am seeing the names.....@ Willy, etc......

 

[DollarJoe67]

A hippie?&nbsp; Whats a hippie? I guess if you are born after 1980 this term has no meaning. <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif">

 

[Ziggy Moon]

I had to go back and add them, Katie. <br><br>The names were in <strong>bold</strong> when originally written, then when I added them back, I left them at normal font (like they are now).
