@SW-User it is odd.. But I feel younger people I see don't have a lot of manners like that

PrivateHell · M

I still call people sir or ma'am in person.

SW-User

@SW-User No, unfortunately most don't. I blame parents for this. So many do not raise their kids with this.

Bourbon or whiskey
Bitters
Sugar or simple syrup
Maybe a little water or club soda
Garnish with orange. I like it when they throw in a moonshine cherry.

exexec · 61-69, C

Just about everything I do is old-fashioned. Flip-phone, land line, talk to strangers, clothes (the shirt I'm wearing is at least 20 years old), same wife for 40 years....

SW-User

@exexec Cool! I love it!

Byron8by7 · M

I use the U.s. Postal Service to pay my bills by mail, with checks, envelopes, and stamps.

SW-User

@Byron8by7 Yep. You are old school. 🤗

Byron8by7 · M

@SW-User
Literally and figuratively. I attended first grade at a one room country school - one teacher, seventeen students, grades one to eight, with one to four students in each grade. I learned to read with Dick and Jane. I am something of a Luddite / diglexic.

SW-User

@Byron8by7 I think that's charming! My mom went to school that way too.

Caprice · 41-45, F

Use a clothes line to dry laundry (when it's warm out).

SW-User

@Caprice That's always nice! My mom does that too. I love how the clothes smell after being in the sunshine.

Caprice · 41-45, F

@SW-User It's funny how you can smell sunshine. I love it🤗

SW-User

@Caprice :)
