| Do you have any 'old school' habits or preferences that clash with the more common way things are done today? | |

| I use a landline fone.
I keep a cell phone in my backpack - TURNED OFF - not seeing the necessity to be connected 24/7.
I don't tweet with twits.
I can type whole pages in standard English - tho I prefer fonetic spelling (not new BTW).
I don't plug music into my ears (making one functionally deaf to any outside sound) | |

| Oh tons of stuff. I don't have a cell phone, I have a VCR and tapes, I have an audio tape recorder that sees FAR more use than my MP3 player has, I (usually) bake cookies from scratch, I write letters to people by hand, and mail them, I do as much business through the mail as is possible, etc. | |

| Alan - I think that's very sweet of you to open doors for women!
Manners - lol - with today's kids, that's something that's definitely out of style. I'm more likely to have a kid charge between a co-worker and I while we're having a conversation, than have the kid say excuse me or go around us, even if there's plenty of room. I don't know how often that's happened.
Taking a hostess gift when I go somewhere - not all the time, but for things like special dinners. Most people don't seem to do that anymore. | |

Mine is the less outdated. The post office is broke, I feel good in doing my part to help keep them in business. But typewriters and VCRs......that shit is just insane. | |

Ooh ooh...I use a fountain pen! When we are invited somewhere new, we would bring something. We know most of the people we usually visit well enough that we don't stand on formality anymore. | |

| If I had a working VCR, I would probably still use it. I have two, but both of them tend to act funny. | |
