Not all people who are Pennsylvania Dutch are Amish.
Not all people who are Amish are Pennsylvania Dutch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deitsch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish Having grown up in Pennsylvania, I did learn that there is a difference. Sadly, many of these communities are dying because the children are choosing to integrate themselves into modern society rather than keeping the old ways alive.

When an Amish family has 10 or 12 children and 3 or so (usually boys) leave the group the Amish population grows bigger. There are several spin off groups of the Amish called Mennonites. The Pennsylvania Dutch people literally own most of the real estate, small businesses, and the banks in Lancaster, and some of the surrounding Counties in central Pennsylvania, so don't worry about them disappearing, in fact their number grow every years. When your bank president drives a black car, has a shaggy beard, and wears a straw hat you know he is not Amish, but his grandfather was, and all of those many hundreds of thousands of people call themselves Pennsylvania Dutch, so you see those 39,000 people are just the tip of the iceburg.
If MagicSanta was Amish he would be 180 lbs, smell like a goat, and be bored to death.

What's all this talk of Pennsylvania Deitsch bags?
My grandmother was famous for defending, "We're Pennsylvania Dutch, not German!" In her mind, being of German descent after WWI & II was all it took to set things right in Northern Michigan. She also proved that being fat did not shorten ones life; which more than likely had to do with genes, foods we eat, and stress. She was a health food nut who was about 100 pounds over weight and she lived to the age of 94.
POOF!

In all fairness Iven, not so many folks have learned that lesson. But it's nice to be reminded of the message every now and then.

And you can always count on me for any tips or health advice. I will help motivate you or help you learn how to read labels. Why is it that when you walk down the street, you will be on the lookout for muggers or robbers.

So you are a Navy vet, I hope it was our Navy. I was an ET-3, and hated every minute of it, except for France, Italy, Spain, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Kong Kong, Saigon, and the Phillipines for the obvious reasons.

I think it best I don't share my Naval experiences...
It has always been obvious obesity is contagious - who needs a study? - just look at all the big boned magicians. And my paternal Grandmother - the biggest fattest nastiest old witch that ever breathed Australian air - was still peering through her cataracts to round up and milk cattle at dawn in her nineties. It doesn't matter how fat or blind you are - spite will keep you alive. Destiny |

Were you Aussie Navy? Here is how the fighting broke down:
USN vs French Navy USN vs British Navy USN and Brits vs French USN and Aussies vs anyone USN and Brits and Aussies vs French and Germans and Dutch. USN and Dutch vs French and Germans USN vs all other Navies and USMC Man I loved a good fight. We actually left a port in Africa because we were in port with that hospital ship from the UK after the Fauklands, no one was fat by the way, and there was one French can so we were fighting the French and the Brits wanted to fight everyone cuz they were cocky. It got real bloody but we then found out that the rest of the Brit fleet was going to hit port and a ten ship French fleet and we were the only US ship. Because the French sold weapons to Argentina and we backed the Brit play our Admiral decided it would be better if we just left them to destroy each other. Man that must have been a blast. Prince Andrew was on the hospital ship so if anyone knows him ask him about the fights, I'm sure he heard about it. |
