[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 731926, member: 1550"] Old Hand, that is obviously true for some people. They like what is familiar. I am more apt to jump on the new and, to me, faster, easier option. I did paper diapers with no thought, cell phones, computers, etc. Now...this doesn't mean I am GOOD at figuring out technology ;p....I am not. I'm hopeless!! But my husband and kids are helpful and now I do everything on my phone, all our bills too. Neither husband nor I use checks and barely carry cash... Addicted to those debit cards. Do you still use checks? Bet ya do!! I had a horrible childhood and lived in a town where nasty rich people picked on me so I have no attachment to how things were done in my home or in any way as a kid. I have more of an attachment to my teen/20s which were more fun, but I struggled a lot until my mid 30s so I sort of learned to embrace the new and go with the newest, as I embraced my evolving and new life that got better and better. Old Hand, it sounds like you had great reason to embrace a fun, loving childhood do you still feel warm and fuzzy about it and that is wonderful. Great!!! Awesome!!! My childhood is something I rather forget. i left the town I grew up in and do not feel attached to it in any way. I left my parent's religious path to find my own and again feel no attachment to Judiasm. I may as well have been raised an alien...it is hard for me to remember being Jewish and anything about it.
