Where I am, it's the Amish who drive in vehicles sometimes, and they do biz with stores and stuff...
Meanwhile the Mennonites avoid tech, don't use vehicles, and they generally won't participate in anything more than a local farmer's market.

I'm sure they are. There are different orders and whatnot.

It must vary from place to place... makes sense that it would, since literally everything else does too.
Seems like Mennonites in some places have embraced tech, and some Amish have done the same.
The disease of modern society has spread ERRYWHERE.

Now I feel like I'm being gaslighted about people who only use gaslights. OR IS THAT TOO MUCH TECH WEIRDOS

Makes total sense now that I think about it, because the Amish and Mennonites split off from each other BECAUSE they wanted to change up the way they lived.
So I guess they've been doing it ever since.
I know a Mennonite guy who actually went to MIT lol.
Don't know any Amish, but the part of the state they are in is horse and buggy land.
Old Order Mennonite are the no car strict ones... OK they must be more like Amish. Probably smarter than the townie ones I knew.
Katie should be a Mennonite.

I'm not gunna lie, Katie would be the most annoying gf to have. Like she can just talk for hours about nothing. Also, she would always tell you about her made up health issues all day. LOL.

I wonder Katie's "type" is for guys. I think MO was right. She goes for rich guys.

I wonder if Katie is a gold digger. LOL. She doesn't seem like it. But I would not be totally surprised if she was.

I never said she goes for "rich" guys, I said she's into rockstars and shit like that.
I don't think she's a gold digger, but I would advise her to be one if she's gonna waste her time with a man.

I actually think she's outgrown the whole rockstar/musician obsession for the most part though, which is good.

Okay, I don't know why I remember you saying that. Hmm, rockstars? I think she has a different type. But yeah, I have no idea also.

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking too. I wonder what her type is now. I bet she has a type.

She has terrible taste in dudes as far as I've seen...
At least in the ones that she's actually been with.
They've all been sorta girly and kinda weird IMO.
The ones she pines after however...
They may be more desirable than the ones she's settled for.
Like for example, she totally wanted to go to Bangtown with Billy Corgan, which is 100% understandable.
He's like married and stuff now though... lame. But hey, he's old so... gotta happen sometime I guess.
