  I like old timey stuff more then new fangled stuff. Not vintage, it smells. I like plain shirts that don’t have writing on them and I like classic cocktails served in normal sized glasses.

  I plan to face my eventual cancer with a stiff upper lip, I don’t care for today’s hoity-toity metraseckshal ways, don’t tell me how to raise my kids and my god is an ancient Pomo god that will one day send the spider down to collect me.

  I am pretty new fangled but I wear my hair short. I don’t think therapy is real.

  I think stretching, the idea that you have to stretch before running, is fake.

  haha @ jason. that is hella trad.

  I am old-fashioned about family dealings, love , values and not discussing money or income with friends and acquaintances, (it is rude). I prefer sending a handwritten note over emailing someone and I refuse to Skype. I bring my lunch to work in a plain brown paper sack.

  I am old-timey and new-timey. Unlike Beth, I love Skype because I have friends in Europe of whom, though loved dearly, I am to cheap to call on my phone. I love google docs and quicken, and having computers at my fancy gym.
  However, my old-timeyness completely wins out in general, especially at this time of the year. I send snail-mail thank you cards. I bake my family and dear friends cakes, the occasional pumpkin bread, and, at Christmas, McFarland Shortbread. I have more oldtimey music on my itunes than anything recent. I like cocktail evenings, dresses, and upswept hair. I also have a closet full of large hats from many English weddings, and several ballgowns. Speaking of…. I’m available for weddings, charity galas, and opera dates.

  I also move the silverware with these new california restaurants put the spoon on the wrong side or confuse the salad fork with a dinner fork.

  @phil, I don’t like to run, but I heard that it’s most important to stretch after running.

  I wish old-timey manufacturing jobs and careers were still around. One grandfather was a bricklayer, the other worked in a Kaiser steel shipyard. I kinda think they’d be disappointed in today’s choices.
