what most don't realize about the Amish is that these restrictions are VERY fluid and very custom to the specific "settlements." They come to use the phone all the time and I have asked them instead of paying me, if they can't just get a card at Walmart, but they say they aren't sure if it is allowed -- I may try again. I only charge them 200-300% of what it costs being the nice guy that I am <vbg>

Seriously, they always leave money and it is more than it costs me -- I tell them to just wait until the bill comes in, but they are happy to overpay and say it beats a trip to town in the buggy.

Amish meet only every other week for religious services, but it is an all day affair.

I thought of starting an investment clinic for them, but then where would they place their trades <vbg>
