    I remember when 35 cents would buy you a pack of cigarettes, a cold beer at a bar or a paperback book. And now look at what they cost, especially the paperback books. Oh, and I remember buying gasoline for 25 cents a gallon.

    You know you're an aging hippie when your first thought about the word "straight" is that it means "not stoned" rather than heterosexual.

    ... when you hear disco on the supermarket muzak and think "Oh, god, not that shit again".

    ... when you (a male) attend your grandson's high school graduation and realize that your hair is longer than any of his classmates', even the girls.

    ... if you can remember when smoking a joint meant the whole thing.

    ... when you're glad it's just heartburn. Not that this one has anything to do with being an old hippie or not, but I was glad it was just heartburn when it came on yesterday as I was exerting myself doing yardwork.

    Or for that matter, if you can remember smoking joints, period. Does anyone smoke joints anymore?

    I've been known to. But it wasn't so long ago I tore the whole darn house apart looking for my papers. Never did find 'em. :sifone:

    I have some papers I bought years ago, haven't used half of them yet. I always use a pipe, a bubbler or a bong. Weed is so expensive now you want to get the most out of it, and joints just aren't as efficient.

    I'm not so sure I really need any more efficiency. I spend more at the Chinese takeout joint anyway, and that's with the owner being a generous friend who always turns us on to free extras. "Hey, you won some coconut? I buy too many!". :)
