Do you think the 'old ways' are better than the 'new ways' of doing things. I'm very nostalgic and like the old ways of doing things. I could be the original fuddy duddy.
There are a lot of things in the present that I think are just amazing, but when it comes to some things, I think the old ways just can't be beat.

that depends. i always thought i was born in the wrong era. i loved the way they dressed in the 20s. i love they way men and women treated each other. i can go either way depends. i love todays mordern way of healing. i loved the closiness of family back then. I love the way the whole neighborhood took care of each other. now days you can't say anything to anyone. every one is so damn sentive. i like a twist of both as long suit me! LOL

Combination of new and old in many areas is a good thing I guess. But like you, I like the way people seemed to care more back then.
I can remember we use to leave our house wide open and go to town. We would never worry about leaving the house wide open. Things weren't so complicated back then, at least they didn't seem so.

I have my own style and dont care so much is it old-fashioned or inovative. I prefer modesty in my dress-code and dont like too much to demonstrate. But i am curious about the new techologies, for example, and this makes me also a person who is open for some new inventions.

Your own style is good magica. Makes it more personal somehow. Thanks for your response.

I am old fashioned in alot of ways too. I believe the husband is the head of the family. I think the wife should take care of the home and family. I still bake from scratch. I want to move to a cabin and cook on the woodstove and wash my clothes by hand. I dont even want electricity. I want a huge garden and a few animals for food. I want to be as self suffecient as possible.

I think I'm in love. You sound like me. The husband is indeed the head of the house. The wife is the one responsible for the home and family. I love baking from scratch, especially bread. There's nothing like the smell of bread baking. I love the idea of the woodstove and just living out in the sticks with no electriciy and a running stream nearby. I don't even mind the idea of an outhouse. I love to garden and watch things grow, then eat from that garden. Being self sufficient would present problems and of course would be hard work, but rewarding as well. I love it.

I can be old fashioned, but I like to mix up the old with a little of the new, this way it spices up the old ways just a bit. Sort of like and upgrade, without actually changing to many things about the old fashioned ways.

I guess you are right curvychick. Old and new is best in some things.

In a lot of ways I am. I still bake from scratch, hardly ever use convience foods, and still use some of the old remedies that my Grandmother did. We sit down to dinner as a family and discuss the day. I make a lot of my own cleaning products. I also could see myself living in a cabin in the wood with alot less modern things. Just give me my computer!

I love it PackratsHouse. Sounds like things I love too. I could even do without the computer sometimes.
