It Is Sad How Some People Perceive Things

celticeagle @celticeagle (190010) • Boise, Idaho 9 Jan 24

I have always been one to try to see both sides of any given situation. I don't see things as others see things. Never have. I do my research and see what the literature says about the history of things. I don't listen to...

Something New Has Been Added

celticeagle @celticeagle (190010) • Boise, Idaho 19 Feb 22

It was time for a change. So, how do you like my new avatar? The other one has been on here for a long time. I had a bulb with a flower in it first, then a Celtic knot in the shape of a peace sign for a while, then the fairy I...

How Many Peace Signs Are In Your Home & Wardrobe?

M. K. Albus @MKAlubs (455) • United States 1 Sep 16

I am just curious. I know some old hippies in their Sixties and Seventies who have inordinate amounts of peace signs in their possessions. Visiting their homes is like time-traveling back to the 1960s. One of the women (in her...

What does the word mean or inspire to/in/for you?

celticeagle @celticeagle (190010) • Boise, Idaho 11 Mar 11

I was a hippy chick way back in the 60's. I wore peace sign earrings and necklaces, naru jackets and was listening to the Stones when they were young. Ya, it's been awhile. But something that has stayed with me is the word...

I have enjoyed collecting peace signs for many years. I even use a celtic knot peace sign icon as my avatar on here. I was a hippie back in the 60's and put my two fingers up in the peace signification quite often. Now here is an...

Do you have a favorite sign?

celticeagle @celticeagle (190010) • Boise, Idaho 15 Mar 10

I was a hippy back in the 60's and enjoyed the peace sign being written and artfully displayed nearly every place. I even have a collection of the sign on nearly everything you can imagine. On here you will notice that my avatar...

What was your very first tattoo?

Rootmere @Rootmere (133) • United States 19 Jul 09

My very first tattoo is an "Om" symbol. Then I got a mushroom peace sign. That's all I have so far. I can't wait to keep going. My artist has 13 years under his belt, so I'm not exactly worried about how well it's done. He...

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 20 Mar 08

Everyone from politicians to the Pope has used the peace sign at one time or another right? If I remember right it started out as a "hippie" thing and whenever we saw them in the news or in a movie they were giving the peace sign....

Any old hippies here? I was, guess I still am. Share your stories.

I missed the 60s (married till '74) but after the divorce, I moved in with my brother and his roommates in a quasi-commune in New Jersey. Buncha hippies, let me tell ya. Peace and love, and wow, did they party. I loved...
