    Yes, I do have different standards. My sex, drugs, and rock and roll led me to a divorce in 1985 and attending AA meetings in 1986. My kids know of my past indulgences and have been warned of the greater chances of them having alcohol/dependency problems. They are 18 and 19 now and as far as I know have not done illegal substances. :tsktsk: If they did 1/100 of what I did when I was their age, I would be shitting myself. The oldest one is at home attending community college, and the youngest is a senior and plays basketball. I was wilder than them when I was 11.:devilwink:

    That you're being "alternative" and "non-conforming" when all of you hippie bastards are conforming to the same hedonistic, narcissistic way of life and utilizing the same mode of doing so.

    Any excuse you want. I'm sure I could have found some more, like it's raining, or it's not raining. I broke my shoe lace..................fill in the blank. Excuses are just that, excuses.:cheers:

    I grew up in North Dakota so I was a red neck hippie. Very high alcoholism rate in the great white north.

    When I was drinking and drugging I didn't remember the day before.:dunno:
    I did see that movie though. What's scary is that we could end up like that because of the economy tanking.:NOTMARIS:

    I graduated 2 years ago and the only time i ever really heard it brought up was when a girl in one of my classes was organizing a box of stuff to send to her brother in Iraq. Nowadays though, it seems like half the people i still keep in contact with are in the military in some capacity with several being in Iraq.

    Yep. I still remember Jason Robards pulling off to the side of the road when the EMP hits his Volvo.
