The Fifth Dimension played no part in my youthful devotion to Hair. I listened to the original cast recording.
Ha. I had the album and just about wore it out. It was such an odd thing to listen to with no visuals of the play. I found it fascinating.

Nothing can get in the way of my happy day.
Are you sure?

Massive power outage. Radio broadcast taken out by solar flares. Oh yeah, the rain in Cincinnati might have a say in this as well. Go Cards Dodgers!

Good luck :D

ETA: The Dodgers baby, all the way.

I remember a party in the eighth grade when a bunch of us were singing along to the song "Sodomy" accompanied by the disapproving hum of tut-tutting adults.

Some of the music kids are listening to now breaches the subject of suicide way too much for my taste. It would be one thing if it was about suicide prevention, but a lot of it is not.

Don't think I've heard what the kids are listening to these days. Is the suicide stuff real or just the latest way to shock the grown-ups? Back in my day all they had to do was grow their hair over their ears and the grown-ups would start talking about the end of civilisation.

Just finished mixing up my aromatherapy for the brother and sister in law. They are not getting much. This will probably be my last package of vape goodies to send. Of course I'll send them aromatherapy products in zero nic. It can't be illegal to ship vg, pg and flavoring mixed together. :) This package includes two batteries, 3 120mL eliquid, 5 packages of coils and two new nautilus GT. I seriously wanted to keep them but I have two of them already. This mail ban has ended my buying for sure. Now to save money..

    Do they vape no nic or do they have nic to add?

    One vapes no nic the other I think he doesn't care. I am sending out 3mg/mL. I introduced him to vaping many years ago to get him off the chewing tobacco. Sister smoked. I think he has a connect where he lives. Hopefully, he can continue. I just won't take the chance after this package with hardware. I could throw in a few coils here and there. I always sent them vape packages for xmas, birthday, etc.

    One example off the top of my head, there's this artist called Billie Eilish. Her fan base is very young 12 years of age and up, but we know how that goes--even younger kids listen to her. A few of her songs are about suicide.

    Here's an article about one--
    Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted" Lyrics, Explained

    Like I said, that's just one example.

    As a parent, who admittedly worries about the usual stuff our parents worried about back in the day-- teenage pregnancy, drug use, etc.. Like those issues, I really would of liked to be the one to breach the topic of suicide to my child. I had to have that discussion with her when she was just 11 years old, and at the time I just couldn't imagine I needed to, but I did.

    They even had some movie recently that was nixed because it lamely dealt with a bunch of children committing suicide. The movie wasn't made for adults either...

    I have two other daughters, 19 and 30 years of age, and I had these kind of conversations with them, but it wasn't when they were eleven years of age. Our youngest is 14 now and while I am quite the hands on parent, kids over exposure to things these days make it more difficult to weed out the negative stuff.

    I admit, I am waaay too old for this. I could handle this stuff at 40.. Why can't she just sniff modeling glue while putting together a B-52 Stratofortress like I did?

    Ah, the good old days of huffing glue. A much more innocent time.

    This is just me, but do make sure your kids know they can talk to you about anything...

    My daughter was very nearly successful in a suicide attempt after she was raped @ 15 y/o...

    When she came off the ventilator and began talking, she did tell the police what happened and the police told me and life changed - but she didn't feel like she could talk to me.. and that was some of the most horrifying times of my life...

    Of course charges were forthcoming against the two boys, because it was medically proven and such. ..

    But I think when kids don't think they can talk about something they feel trapped sometimes. It's just a matter of saying hey, there's nothing so bad we can't talk about.

    IDK. I use to watch her on Food Network when she did the 40$ a day tv show.

    Was that the show where she would go into restaurants and get the cheapest dessert on the menu, and then go to another place and ask for half a lamb chop?

    She can't even make good dog food.
