They are also said to be the worst puppy-mill owners. Animals are animals to them--and profit. My great great great grandparents were Amish, but I'm happy they bailed on the life, I don't think I'd like being a farmer's daughter.
My grandmother died 2 weeks before my 21st birthday & my cousin and his 2 best friends were 2 years older than I was. We asked the friends to be pall bearers because my grandmother was crazy about them, anyhoo, I remember my mum saying that James, one of the friends, has sold the car CD player...

I've used hair conditioner because I ran out of fabric softener & ended up having to rewash the things again--because it left a white film. I've found the best way to soften clothes (even heavy denim) is to soak it for a night in fabric softener (and water).
I HATE the smell of most fabric...
I think the first dead famous person I saw was Marilyn Monroe in the book Goddess. I have pictures of my grandfather & great grandfather in their coffins, it doesn't bother me. [huh]
