Bearded Amish woman

“Hey you DON'T HAVE TO READ this!!!!

(there the disclaimer)

I'd heard of the bearded Amish woman around here and said, yeah, right.

And there she was today at the IGA, checking out in line in front of me. I never got a good look at her face (damn bonnets!!) but there was this gray beard a couple inches long. (you know Amish men can never trim their beards, but I don't know about the women!!!!)

Dang, I wanted to see, but just left and didnt sneak around to view. (A strangely polite moment in Lizs' life.)

We could call the Enquirer, but YOU CAN'T TAKE PICTURES OF THE AMISH!!! It steals their soul, they believe.

Man, a bearded Amish woman. (Cross-dressing Amish man???)

Freakin' weird!!!!!!!!!”

“lizs, you should have gotten up in her face with your camera, like any other good reporter. Back to writing obituaries for you, lol.”

“Then she'd be a bearded woman with no soul!!”

“Maybe Mr.Smith is a cross-dresser ;)”

“There have been very few times on TT when I've started laughing out loud just at a thread title, this was one of them! I saw a group of Amish canoeing when I went kayaking two weekends ago, definately an odd site, but not as odd as a bearded Amish lady!”

“Amish canoeing!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO”

“I couldn't believe it at first, but then again, they don't use motorized vehicles, so I guess it makes sense!”

“One of those horse drawn buggies with a canoe strapped on top would look even more odd.”

“We have a lot of Mennonites around here where I live. I have a lot of healthy respect for anyone who has the conviction to say, "nope, ain't gonna subscribe to what I get spoon-fed."”

“Lizs, c'mon...who you trying to kid? We all know AmyG is in the Dominican Republic.”

“Talking of odd things with my brother last night and he related a similar encounter from his last Alaska trip. He was in a coffee shop and the young guy at the counter looked over his shoulder and said, "I hate that woman." My brother looked around and saw this person with a beard who had just come in, and said, "What woman?" The scraggly chinned clerk said, "That woman," indicating the bearded person, "because she's got a longer beard than me." My brother looked closer, and sure enough...”

“All of the sudden newgirl's threads seem more appropriate.”

“"If the scissors are not used daily on the beard, it will not be long before the beard is, by its luxuriant growth, pretending to be the head."

“Hey lizs, sound like you saw my high school english teacher! That woman had more haair on her chin than Honey has! Scarey! I guess the Amish don't believe in tweezers either.”

“Officer Milton Kellerman reported Sunday that he'd gone overnight to 10051 Creaser Road in Bloomfield Township in response to a complaint about a "loud Amish party."

He saw 200 to 300 people at the party, which included "lots of alcohol and kids running around," a barn "jampacked" with kids drinking beer and youths breaking bottles in the driveway.

No one would cooperate with the officer who, at one point, said he was surrounded by about 25 kids. The young people swore at him; Kellerman returned to his cruiser and left.

“I've heard that Amish teens throw some awesome parties in Northern Indiana too.”

“It's true. I've been to a few.”

“YES they do! :D”

“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 discount price
