Just to be clear before we move on -- I never said anything derogatory about 'the people you love'. The above comment implies that I did, and I want you to be clear on that. Oh, no, honey! you said following: Well, personally, I don't resent so much the time being pleasant with the woman who brought me life and will someday be gone. It DOES imply that I am resenting being pleasant to a woman who brought me life, no? YESSSSS!!!
I also know how to end a phone call and I do it. So I don't need to resort to lying to my mother or to complaining about her on the internet.
So here you implying that I am a liar and betrayed my mother by talking about her on Internet!!! STOP defending yourself, you were insulting and degrading and for NO reason because you choose to miss the fact that I do in fact talk to my Mom EVERY DAY! And I was posting about my Mom without any complaints about her, just explaining how difficult it is to abrupt the conversation!!! with person YOU LOVE and RESPECT!!! BTW I had never had this kind of conversation with my Mom (not exactly), I was writing AN EXAMPLE! You had been vicious! And I don't mind that but STOP pretending you have no idea you were NOT cool! Again, as I said, I was making clear that I never said anything bad about your mom. That's all I am making clear, nothing else. And now I'm done making it clear because that appears to be impossible.

Best text message EVER: Are you coming to run club tonight so I can hump you? like .2 seconds later: THUMP YOU I was already halfway there... Tell them you'll only show up if they hold to the 1st offer. Or just show up naked and pretend you never saw that second text...

It's OK. My Mom is Amish so she can't use the Internet.

Um, Amish use telephone you know? They are just not inside the house.
And I have never posted a lie on this board. How dare you offend me like that.

I am sorry, I had no idea Amish have outside phone that they allowed to use. And honestly...I didn't know you CAN be offended...like some...regular person Another version of the answer: I did not say you lied. I had asked. That was the question mark at the end and now it is some square happy face dude with question mark inside...so...

That was the question mark at the end and now it is some square happy face dude with question mark inside...so... Most Amish communities have a communal phone, located in a central part of their settlement, in a small building that's about the size of a phone booth. They do use it in times of emergency, to call police or ambulance services. The horse and buggy won't exactly transport someone very sick to the nearest place of help very fast. And yes, they do go to doctors and hospitals, if they need to. They don't shun Western medicine, though they try to use it only when needed. If you've ever visited an Amish community with a lot of teenagers, you'll be amazed at how good the kids are with electronics. During the period of rumspringa, after their schooling ends but before they marry, the teens use computers and cellphones, drive and work and wear English clothing and hairstyles. I've seen them text, and believe me, I'd never be that good.

So...if I understood you correctly for Colleenz to call her Mother she needs to just call that phone number and wait until bypasser will pick it up and ask them to run to her Mom and ask her to the phone and they will run and ask her Mom to run to the phone and talk to her so Coleenz can tell her about epic we have here? THATs seems too much to do about nothing, right? And a lots of running. I hope Amish people are good runners. Of course no one comparing them to Jamaicans...butg thats an entirely different subject.

Assuming that Colleenz isn't pulling your chicken leg here and she is telling the truth about her mom being Amish, then yes, someone would have to go get her mom. But most Amish settlements are pretty small, Loony. I know PA has some large ones, but most are not big. It might take five minutes to go get the neighbor, in most cases. And most calls would be prearranged. Mama Colleenz would know when her little girl was going to call, based on last week's call, so Mama would probably be waiting by the phone booth. And yes, most Amish are in pretty good shape. They don't drive cars (after marriage), don't use gasoline-powered farm tools, no electricity in their homes (so everything from clothes to dishes to furniture is cleaned by hand) and they eat mostly what they grow themselves or get from each other, so very little is processed food.

I don't see an upside to being Amish... like... at all! Living as we English do (anyone not Amish is referred to as "English" by the Amish), it is hard to imagine giving up what we have. But if you are raised in this society, it's what you know, and pretty much all you know. I've visited their towns many times over the years, mostly in Ohio, and I love the food (the noodles and cheeses are first-rate, and their sausage is the only kind that never gives me heartburn) and the quiet and the clean air. The people themselves are very reserved, but polite and will talk to visitors if you approach them with respect. Outside influences have made inroads into the communities, and you are starting to see more young people leaving the towns, and more drug activity and alcoholism.

I have one real concern here since Coleenz said her Mom is barely ever sober - should someone carry her to the booth? And will they?

I'm sure the horse she rode in will be able to do the job, if one of the neighbors can't.

And Jamaicans smoke too much pot to run fast. They have one heck of a bobsled team though.
