I think I'm becoming a hippy. Here's the evidence I've compiled thus far:
1. I ordered my daughter play silks for Christmas 2. I'm a vegetarian 3. Our next baby will wear cloth diapers because disposables are Bad For The Earth 4. I think it's nice to crochet your own dishclothes 5. Not only am I a vegetarian, but I only purchase eggs that come from free-range chickens 'cause even chickens should be free
Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods. He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes. Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends. Reckon they'd just nail him up if He come down again.
Mack, here's the biggest problem...I'm a hippy who lives in Kentucky! Of all the bad places for a hippy to be - I live in a virtual hotbed of meat eatin', deer huntin', ain't no way *I'm* ever gonna drive something that gets more than 15 miles to the gallon society! I gotta keep this transformation on the downlow or else I'll be lynched by nightfall.
space opera, who swears she'll give up all hope if she stops shaving her legs because "it's natural"

Ok, I'm safe on the washing thing! No bumper stickers either, but that's only 'cause I haven't found the right ones yet.
But *sob* I do make my own bread. Without a breadmaker. I actually had a breadmaker but sent it to Goodwill because I preferred to make the bread with my own two hands.

Space Opera, Join me at a few music festivals and you're there, baby! I will send you appropriate hippie music if you need it. Make sure with all the au natural stuff you have that you have state-of-the-art stereos and music downloading capabilities. Also, i have found that many of my true hippie friends have some serious trust funds. Do you have one of those? Living off the land is expensive, after all.

I have some quinoa at home I haven't tried yet. I'm going to make the seafood pasta from the recipe on the back of the box. And I got organic sustainable shrimp and scallops from the health food store.
Space Opera, you should get certified in Rolfing. Then you'd have all the hippie 'Rackers beating a path through your heirloom tomato patch. Posts: 2919 | Registered: Aug 2004

(btw, I plan to experiment with food grade chocolate massage lotion in time for Valentine's- what do you think?)

I knit very slowly, but I can do it. I also used to compose tiny little squares of hand-woven thread tapestries. Thanks to Christy, I can crochet a little bit, too.
Yes! Food grade chocolate massage lotion.

Well, if the lotion is a success, I'll post a recipe. Y'know, um, for people whose kids or cats always try to eat the lotion. That's right.
Er, I think I lose points right now, b/c the younger two are glued not just to TV, but Disney, while I use the 'puter. Bad hippie, no granola.

Hippies drove vans long before it became fashionable for anyone other than commercial businesses.
And Stewart Brand -- who was the organizer&producer of the Tripps Festival and organizer&editor of the the hippie bibles, TheWholeEarthCatalogs -- also created the first large public Internet gathering/forum, TheWell.
Jobs and the Woz who created Apple (forcing IBM to go into the personal computer business) are hippies still.
And ya oughtta hear the office/commune tales from before Microsoft went public.
A large percentage of physicists and hackers (hackers are to programmers as artists are to draftsmen) are also Deadheads and Rainbows; probably a majority if ya include their student days.
As for Disney: 1940's box office flop Fantasia finally made money, became a hit after finding an audience in the 60s' hippies.
So granola away in good conscience.

*sighs contentedly* So many hippies on Hatrack - who knew?
Hey romany, would you mind sending me your recipe for granola? E-mail addy is in my profile. Once we move we'll be a good 40 minutes from any kind of store that sells it, so I'd love to just be able to make my own. Thanks!

When are you all going to form a commune? I don't think I'd like to live there, but I'd love to visit. I like chocolate body lotion...

DONE, Space Opera! Here's my recipe for all....
2 cups rolled oats 2 cups rolled mixed grains (I use Bob's) I cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup flax seed (whole or ground, doesn't matter)
Stir together in large glass baking dish
Warm 3/4 to one cup honey and 1/4 cup vegetable oil (I would not use olive, it tastes too strong) Stir in to dry ingredients. Bake in 250 oven until it's the desired crunchiness-usually takes about an hour for me.
An alternative is to replace oil with applesauce, if you like it chewy.

Someone asked for appropriate hippie music. Go to www.etree.org. there is lots of it there.
Also, if you can find the game Cosmic Wimpout, you are near hippies. You must learn to play this game.
When this question was asked, I had to add another choice:
Quick hippie pop quiz:
