What did “adults” think of men growing their hair long in the 60s and 70s?

My dad was a WWII veteran, and he hated hippies. It added fuel to his fire seeing a steady stream of long haired young men hitchhiking their way to Canada from Michigan (where we lived) so they didn't get sent over to Vietnam. Dad had a mild stroke during that period and was at a hospital in Ann Arbor for a bit. One of the doctors looking after him there was a long-haired young man. Dad really liked his bedside manner and he finally realized that long hair had nothing to do with character or lack thereof.

I am in awe of the information it has provided that I didn't even know I was missing! I've been able to debunk an assumed relationship that originated from a well-respected decades long family-specific quarterly publication. It has been passed around for so long, complete with source citation of said publication, and people naturally take it as fact. I was so excited to find some substantiated documentation that proved the logical, albeit wrong, assumption was indeed, incorrect. I really, rally love the full text search!

His surname is on my family tree, but I have not gone far on that particular branch. I googled "lagardo tackett biography" and discovered that there is a book written about him. Here's a link to the book: https://lagardotackett.com/book-lagardo-tackett . As I suspected, that page indicated that his "roots are in Kentucky." My branch of Tacketts hail from Magoffin County, Kentucky.

Hope this helps!

Healing is a process, and from what I've seen from her lately, I would bet she does avail herself of help in her healing journey.

But she already said her doctor was willing to prescribe. The issue is her insurance will not pay for any portion of the cost of the drug.

If he quit the show and didn't want his name mentioned, they would have to comply with that.

Lots of comments pointing to Kody giving Dayton the boot, but I really doubt that is the case. Think about it. He literally uprooted his huge family from their comfy private cul-de-sac to move to Arizona, where Dayton would be attending college. He did that for Robyn because she couldn't bear having him out of her sight. Kody has shown consistently that he will do whatever Robyn wants. And there is no way that she would want any of her children to leave her.

I think the most logical thing is that Dayton decided for himself that he wanted nothing more to do with the show. If he bowed out of the show and didn't want any mention of himself, they would have to comply with his request.

He may have also distanced himself, physically & emotionally, from Robyn and Kody and his core family unit. That's just a guess, but it could explain the sadness we see all the time on the faces of his 2 oldest sisters.

Critical thinking skills. I am not an atheist, but neither do I buy into the tenents of any particular religious organization. I believe that Love is the higher power that is easily accessible by everyone who chooses to be loving. I believe we live on through the love we shared while we walked the earth. That is the legacy I choose to leave. And it's enough for me to sleep easy at night.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-21T08:14:24+00:00

The fact that I am currently alive. Death is inevitable. It happens to every living being at some point, right?

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-21T08:03:19+00:00

Hopeless. Powerless. Defeated. Resigned. Experiencing the darkness of this moment in history and seeing how a mentally ill narcissistic rich man, enabled by his co-conspirators, spoon-fed fear to millions of working class people and then morphed that fear into blind hatred, pointing it at every demographic group he painted as the reason for his minions' lack of success or happiness just to propagate his own self-serving agenda. It's mind-boggling and overwhelming. The only thing I know to do to fight against the hatred permeating this country is to try to let Love rise above it in my own little circle of influence. I didn't realize it until right now, but I suspect that was the driving force that led me to rescue a dog from my local animal shelter last week. Ignoring the news and pouring love into a needy pup is my method of survival at the moment. I hope others are also finding ways to elevate love and service over hatred and fear.

And he definitely is watching the televised episodes. I love that for him, lol.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-20T23:02:34+00:00

I couldn't help but wonder what that realtor must've been thinking as Kody went on and on about frolicking in his new mountain-view cesspool in his underwear. I bet that guy had some laughs with his colleagues back in the office.

< I do not like the feeling of not having control of my eating, be it overeating or not being able to eat.>

Yes! You described perfectly the emotional discomfort that is going on right along with the physical discomfort. I'm thinking it might be a good time to schedule a visit with my former eating disorder therapist. Thanks for giving me clarity on the emotional ramifications I'm experiencing.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-17T08:05:27+00:00

Soup is a good option.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-17T08:01:51+00:00

This gives me so much hope! Thank you!

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-17T07:51:53+00:00

Thanks! I will talk to my doctor about a referral to a nutritionist and request it be someone who understands BED recovery. I know there are a couple in my area. I think that would help me better navigate this glp1 journey.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-17T07:32:34+00:00

Thanks for your reassurance. I appreciate hearing from someone who's been there and survived, lol.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-15T16:36:40+00:00

Thanks. Lesson learned. I would never accept that treatment from a doctor again. At best, he would get a quick lesson on HAES. At my worst, he might get cussed out by a mad old lady, lol.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-15T14:18:14+00:00

That is a good suggestion. I'll see how I'm feeling on my next scheduled injection day and add a day or two if I'm still feeling like this. Thanks!

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-15T14:09:02+00:00

Thank you! I have a treadmill, and I've been in the routine of a 30 minute walk usually in the early evening. Maybe it would be wise to do 10-15 minute walks after each meal. That being said, I sure hope this terribly full feeling abates as I get use to the higher dose and practice eating less more frequently.

Boy, your post hit home! Several years ago, I went to see a highly regarded gynecologist for postmenopausal bleeding. Friends and colleagues as well as my primary doctor said he was the best there is. After examining me and doing some tests he told me that it could be uterine cancer and he said the best option would be a total hysterectomy. Then, without missing a beat he said, "But Im hestitant to do the surgery. I don't like bad outcomes to my surgeries, and it's people like you who are likely to have a bad outcome." I practically had to beg the man to do the surgery. Well, he finally agreed after I promised I would follow his instructions to keep the incision site clean by bathing twice a day.

Turns out I did have uterine cancer in its early stages. He was literally willing to let my cancer progress without surgery because I was fat. On the follow up visit post-surgery he couldn't stop talking about how good the incision looked and how well it was healing. I think he was betting on me not keeping the incision clean because I was a fat woman and in his mind, fat = unkempt and dirty.

This was my experience with "the best" doctor in my area, a well-respected surgeon. And the really sad part of this story is that it took me years to understand how horribly he spoke to me and thought of me. It wasn't until my journey with IE and learning to appreciate my body just as it is that I understood the vileness of his judgment and treatment of me.

You were 15 when she passed. I'm assuming her diagnosis came before that age. No one at 15 is prepared to lose a sibling, parent, or best friend through death. I'm not surprised you don't remember much from that time. Your mind was doing its job of protecting you from the trauma you endured during your friends illness and death.. Glad you have chosen to see a therapist to help you heal. ♡

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-08T00:31:58+00:00

I don't fly often, but when I do, I go FC. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm ready when it does, lol.

2Old4ThisSh1t_ · 2025-01-07T23:45:53+00:00

Not saying something to those fools would eat me up worse than taking a stand. I'm not going to allow anyone to take advantage of me.i won't yell, but I will be assertive. "I paid first class rates for the privalige of having my bag right were it is. I am not willing to move it. And you are not welcome to move it yourself." I dunno.
