When I was young, the future was where all the good stuff
was kept, the party clothes, the pretty china, the family
silver, the grown-up jobs. The future was a land of its
own, and we couldnt wait to get there. Not that youth
wasnt great, but it came with disadvantages; I remember
the feeling I was missing something really good that was
going on somewhere else, somewhere I wasnt. I remember
feeling life passing me by. I remember impatience. I dont
feel that way now. If something interesting is going on
somewhere else, good, thank god, I hope nobody calls me.
Sometimes it's all I can do to brush my teeth; toothpaste is just too stimulating.

My kids love giving their mom a hard time...calling me "hippie mom." I gladly wear the title. Using funny phrases and worrying about recycling, and listening to the music from "my era" , loving Steven Tyler and mourning when trees are senselessly chopped down, are all good things. Heres a list that'll make you smile.
Bummer!
Can you dig it?
Catch my drift?
Catch you on the flip side.
Decent!
Don't give me that jive.
Dream on!
Dy-no-mite!
Far out!
Foxy mama!
Funkadelic.
Gag me with a spoon!
Gimme some skin.
Good night, John boy.
He's such a wackoid!
Here's the skinny...
Keep on truckin'.
Let's blow this taco stand!
Let's book it out of here.
May the force be with you.
Mellow out!
Outta sight!
Pop a wheelie.
Righteous?
Say what?
Slam dunk.
Solid!
To the max!
Trippin'!
Tubular!
Unreal!
What's happening?
Do you remember any '70s slang that you'd like to add?
Peace Out Everyone!!
