I haven't read all the detailed responses to this thread. But it does bring back vivid memories of my very conservative Mennonite grandparents My grandmother's favorite expression when shocked or dismayed was: "OH MY LANDS!" My grandfather when making a mistake in the shop like hitting his...

A few words concerning the sentence: Judge Robert Rinfret was a prosecuting attorney in Holmes County since 1984 and the judge in Millersburg, OH since 2010. He knows his community, the fabric of which is made up of plain people. He's had scores of plain people on trial in his courtroom. My percept...

No, these are former Beachy folks who could no longer vote at the Beachy minister's meetings because they allowed their members to regularly listen to radio broadcasts. About the time that r...

My one concern with keeping DST year-round is that it is really dark in the mornings for kids to walk to school and that could increase accidents. Easily fixed by starting school later. :idea: Not so easily fixed by starting the school day later. If you shift the school day an hour later, to say 9:...
