I moved from Chicago and its many suburbs to TN back in 05, never regretted it for a min, suggest you get the f out and move where houses are cheaper, taxes are cheaper, and way of living is out of this world, and had a Amish county store kinda close, but was shut down many years ago. But my chair finally broke, and found me a pair of recliners for 30, but down side was it was a hour round trip, but good side, was I got a new "suv" and much more comfortable, and would give me a chance to see great country, and bad, see pics below, but on the way there, THE STORE! So I whipped around for my oldest with me been to the other and its like no other, so I had to take my daughter to the first one she will see, and if going that way will still stop in, for they are not trying to kill everyone off I do not think, but maybe do not know what they are doing :p

But anyway, you would associate the store, that's owned by the Amish (Mennonites if you like to get Technical Click me to learn more.) and was checking out the ingredients of their candies we just bought to see it has Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6, and 1, and well, NOT made from blood twigs, sticks n gunk, but made from petroleum, and nasty stuff, and banned in a lot of countries because......IT CAUSES ALL OF THIS.

It really has made me look at everything I have in my home, and really all that was bad bought there, and other was my mac n cheese, the popcorn (cheddar) I bought there, and that candy, but lol, what if they did know that the coloring causes that, or they just repackaged bought candy and stuck it in there, for I saw Reeses candy Minis were put in the same like container, soooo.....but if not, you think no way, but then you ready the ingredients, and are like wtf :p But they all do it, the other stuff like the beef sticks made by them, locally, from their own farms, made of beef, and intestines' so they pop or snap when you bite into them (you want some, pay me to go get the best jerky and sticks in all kinds of flavors you will NOT find on the internet, or as good or as natural!), but it will cost you for its a hour away, so all get together and I will make the trip if you want country stuff, or hell after writing that, can go and buy real country stuff, and not, like beef sticks, candies, nick nacks and such, and be happy to for my time, gas wear n tear n all, but you will NOT find better, for this is all hand made shit here peoples :O :p ANYWAYS yeah, just found it funny, beautiful, and sad there and back, then they are trying to kill me and my kids with cancer, OMG, what a world!

And then you go through Dresden TN, about half hour away from my house that was hit by tornadoes just before Christmas and still see stuff like this:

And then my 2nd Trip after the Ice storm, saw this:

OP moved from Chicago to TN.

OP went out of his way to go to an Amish-owned store somewhere in the middle of nowhere in TN to get foodstuffs. The packaged foodstuffs come with food coloring derived from petroleum products
OP sent into a scare and starting checking his normal foods
The Amish store makes real beef jerky. OP will to grab some for interested people but gotta be paid to do the job.

Pretty sure the sugar and starches alone can have a larger effect. Stops fat metabolism...increases the frequency of hunger.

Yeah... the Amish seem to have nothing against plastic packaging. I guess that they don't need to plug it into an outlet, so that's OK?

apparently moving to more rural or xurban Tennessee from where there are more thinking people actually melts your brain
You're just jelly that you can't find cancer-causing candies in an Amish store near your neck of the woods. :p

PS. Ever eaten M&Ms, OP?

I don't even know what this thread is about it's so all over the place.
Geez, I think someone was huffing the Red Dye #5 and typing during the tornado while fantasizing about being Amish and perhaps eating English candy.

Funboy's plan to dominate the internet.
The Funboys are coming! Some say, that in the still of the night you can place your ear to the ground and hear the clattering of the keyboards!
Fixed your post.



What're we gonna do tonight Funboy?

Same thing we do every night. Try to take over the internet.

They're selling it to the infidels, so it's OK. They also work for companies manufacturing modern stuff like RVs and campers to sell to the infidels, using power tools and such.

I know of these Mennonite stores you speak of. I've seen at least 4-5 of them.

They manufacture chairs and outbuildings/storage sheds. There are a bunch of general stores that sell baked goods and some really awesome sandwiches. There are some around here that sell donuts and pretzels. They basically have their kids working a lot of the jobs to grow the businesses and likely make millions and millions of dollars off all these ventures because they don't deal with health insurance and maybe get tax breaks (depending on how they report their income in relation to their religion).

The ones around here bulk buy freezer items and split the restaurant packages from Sysco or wherever into smaller packages and bump the price up. Example...they'll buy 10lbs of seasoned french fries for $1/lb....then split the package into 1/2lb or 1lb packages at $4/lb in their freezer section. People will say, "This package is only $2...for a 1/2lb" and the Mennonites will win because all their other prices are high too. They're basically printing money on stuff like that....just not sure what they're doing with it except feeding their 30 kids.

Were these Mennonite or Amish? Mennonites drive automobiles, ride bicycles, use cell phones, some attend college, own modern farms/equipment, other businesses. Saw a young Mennonite woman the other day riding an electric scooter.

I now realize now that the Ancients from FFVII could be inspired by the Amish....and Aerith is half-Amish.

Where in Chicago did you live?
North side, east side, Hammond Indiana where the South side was across the street, Joliet (I was the ASSISTANT finance mgr for Willy World Motorcycles back in 93-94 and not sure if still there on the east side of Joliet, but live there on the north south east and west side, Lemont, Bolingbrook, Romeoville (graduated yeah I know kinda hard to believe with my shitty all over the place posts, when you all know I have mental problems for you may want to just try and read and if not move on rather then make fun of me and me like shit reading it, but hey, what ever, and I like the ones asking me about Amish and Differences where if they took the time to just skim, I linked the differences between them from a website, but I cannot write/think/put together right what I am trying to say because of mental issues, not DUMB, but this world of tolerance people now a days as I read the comments above, yeah, tolerant, mental issues, and some of you know this, but yet say shit to make me feel bad, and go check ANY of my posts over the last 20+ years and find one where where I made/told others how shitty they were n all, yeah thats right :p), but anyways, sorry, bipolar can be a bitch, I wrote it, it came out my mind as typing, and no, I do not feel I should go back and remove, or edit, deal with it, or do not deal with it, do not care ;) anymore really at this point due to how bipolar has me feeling right now :D

But thats just around there, I have lived all over the USA due to my Parents as growing up kept moving 3-5 times a year, causing me to have 3-5 different schools a year, all of which did not teach the same thing at the same time, and the fact I know how to attempt to read and right is astounding, let alone anything else for 90% of all I do know, and no I fail in this but you all rather make fun, or poke how shitty I am without asking why it is and not make me feel like shit, for I am a ton better at this then I was 20 or so years ago, but because I would get off the bus and the u-haul would be there, I had no friends (no internet people this was the 70's-90's) for the moment I make one, we're moving again, so NO, I suck at this, and I do not need to be told my whole life how much I suck at it and made fun of it for sucking, when shitty people making fun of me for it doesn't seem to care as to WHY I suck at it, just that they all make fun of me and feel good they are smarter and made the dumb ass feel like crap and should just go die, and stop sucking up their life air has been self taught ;)

Anywho, between work, and parents, and the fact most of what I did my like was all manual labor, for 6'4", young, dumb, full of cum, paid great, out doors all the time, and free gym,

Me at 19:

11266568_999584706732998_4812550753020535082_n.jpg

but did little construction, and worked for the Railroad for a bit there finding underground wires, and replacing them by digging 100+ foot feet of wire from the rail box, to the junction, and since in out contract we were NOT to use machinery and all they really hauled on the east coast rail from Jacksonville to Miami was rock/concrete rock, after digging, by hand, 3 feet down, 100 feet out, 2 feet wide, by hand, when you make it to the ballast, brought out the breaker bar, and pickaxe had to go to both sides of the rail, the one facing you, easy, but the other on the other side had to be 5 feet under the rail, and 2 feet of that was concrete baking in the sun, (110 degrees + most the time down there, from Jacksonville all the way to Miami as Quest Communications was laying the "new" fiber tech back in 97, by HAND. In the sun, no shade, 2 gallons of WARM water near me, as I ran the bar for 1 hour, then the axe, a hour and switched back and forth with my brother, for about 4-6hours straight just to get through the concrete, to the sand for the other 3 feet. So I been through every city on the Florida East Side, and would love nothing more but to go back, for the people and the fun, and I love the sun, out of anywhere I have lived, and living here in TN is right after Florida, for Living up north and all but never really the middle, people here are less rasist, and more friendly, and NOT backwards, and houses, do not get me started, just go search for my thread when I moved here in 05 and see, for prices have not really changed, and I paid, $49K for my home, and now worth $105 :O hows that for being dumb butt on his investment, for 10 or so more years, and my daughter out, kids out the house, can then sell for my rv and move to FL :D Life plan of a STUPID man ;)

I'm afraid so. The Amish will stop at nothing. :worried:

They will kill your family with their tantalizing treats! Warm buttery flatbreads, fried pies, sugar-caked gummies, and greasy beef sticks!
