Yeah? So do mooslims - and you won't see the po-po wading in to bust up one of their little gatherings, now will ya?
And IIRC, they have their own doctors and do not use outside people.
In our area they use our doctors in cases where they must. They use the emergency room if needed. They use their own midwives but if they get in trouble with the birth, they come to ER. I see it as reasonable and responsible when it comes to the use of medical services. They also use our vets. But I agree, for the most part they use their own people when they can.
We buy goat milk from them (for bottle goats) and husband has made a point to keep 6 feet apart and noticed the Amish man did as well. Also they used to shake hands when they met but haven’t done that lately. Husband was going to wear a mask because he did not want to take a chance with spreading into that community but he was concerned about offending the man. :)
I believe they are still going to church while our church is closed.
At last - I get to post “those darn Amish” on FR and really mean it!
LEO always claims that it’s not their job to protect us from criminals. But it is their job to protect us from ourselves.
Sometimes it REALLY IS the Amish!
“Amish party”. I thought it was the Babylon Bee.
A quilting bee run amok can be a terrifying thing, I expect.
You learned your lesson well.
You got an address/phone number/web site.
A web site would be best, but I suppose the Amish don’t do the Internet...
One bad thing about those large Amish parties is the mess made by all those horses waiting outside...
Amish Paradise
“Weird Al” Yankovic
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain
But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me
You know I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows fool
And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I’m a man of the land, I’m into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1699
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I’ve churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It’s hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at a discount price
Living in an Amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really don’t care, in fact I wish him well
‘Cause I’ll be laughing my head off when he’s burning in Hell
But I ain’t never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a ‘tude?
You know that’s unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree
I really look good in black fool
If you come to visit, you’ll be bored to tears
We haven’t even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain’t really quaint, so please don’t point and stare
We’re just technologically impaired
There’s no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It’s as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish Paradise
We’re just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish Paradise
There’s no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish Paradise
We don’t fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish Paradise
Hitchin’ up the buggy, churnin’ lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I’ll raise anutter
Think you’re really righteous?
Think you’re pure in heart?
Well, I know I’m a million time as humble as thou art
I’m the pious guy the little Amlettes want to be like
On my knees day and night scorin’ points for the afterlife
So don’t be vain and don’t be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish Paradise
We’re all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish Paradise
There’s no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish Paradise
But you’d probably think it bites
Living in an Amish Paradise
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-yecch!
The Amish unlike the musselmen won’t kill anyone interfering in their activities.
“A man called 9-1-1 to report the large party.”
FALSE! A REAL man never makes this call.
This is an interesting conundrum. Are we free or not? Let me tell you about a Tennessee law that is similar.
Many years ago, we had to put my wife’s Mom in a nursing home, and she had a tendency to wander around and fall. We asked about restraints. “NO!” “We are prohibited by State Law from restraining our residents - It would violate their rights.”
So - she had the right to injure herself. But I don’t? (For the record - TN is not enforcing the stay-at-home like other states are. Tennesseeans might shoot to protect our rights - we’ve done it before.
( Google “Battle of Athens (1946)” )
He was still independent when I bought mine four years ago. If he still is, he can make the arrangements for you as well.
It was built in Loganton, Pennsylvania. I'm sure my dealer made a little for the arrangements, but far less than a famous company who buys up these independents as they become available.
Thank you!
I’m a long way away in Alabama, but your price was phenomenal.
There is a fine line between Amish and Mennonites. The Mennonites are pretty good as well.
Local Amish joke: Why did God make Mennonites? To drive the Amish where we need to go when it is too far for a horse.
