You were a brain scientist.... what is your job now?
BTW there are multiple hippie camps around the country.... There is one in Miami the week between Christmas and New Years. It's called SWIM. We're thinking about going....

was not unconditional and when I couldn't get it I wanted that love

was, well, we all know right. In the big picture I got lucky... I
didn't get HIV, I didn't get pregnant, I didn't get hepititus or
general herpies... I did however get an STD and am HPV +. I have had
cryosurgery to remove precancerous cells from my cervix (Some places
are not meant to be frozen!!) all because of bad decisions as a
teenager. So I will talk with my daughter openly about this... I am
NOT again premarital sex... I am against unprotected sex. I'm also
huge into getting yourself off but that's another story.
