I wish I could like this more than once.

I'm pretty sure the Dd stays with bf because of issues with youngest dd.

Tap You asked for honest opinions so I'm just throwing out different reasons for the issue. Not judging your choices or parenting. Just ideas on why he has such anger/dislike for you.

Tap has also mentioned her dd not coming around much lately, being hard to reach by text or phone and putting off getting together to talk. Maybe the issue is with the dd and she only comes around when she feels obligated. Maybe bf is irritated that she wants him to come along. Or maybe bf's parents complain to him that his 18 yo gf is living in their home but feels their hands are tied because of her situation in her home. So he feels anger at Tap. There are many reasons he may act the way he does not just an abuser or manipulator.

What is the chance your dd complained bitterly to him about what happened to her when youngest dd became part of the family? Could that be why he has such a hatred of you? And he just uses the excuse your mean to him to not betray her trust? It just seems so odd for him to dislike you so.

Animal Vegetable Mineral.

So much is (or has been) grown here that other crops have the faint sweet fresh tobacco taste. Especially strawberries. I love the taste of a strawberry grown in an old tobacco field. Even more so when made into jam.

Indoor smoking has only been banned here for about 6 years. My counties public schools just last school year started an anti tobacco campaign. And they tiptoe around it trying not to offend people in the community.

I'm surrounded by tobacco fields. There are probably several hundred acres within 10 miles of my home.

Same here in Ky.

Old Lake Wilson Rd is Loughman (officially) and 30+ min from Disney.

Yeah it grew like that this year in Ky also. I would pick several 5 gallon buckets of it and yellow squash at a time. Every time we left the house we carried several shopping bags full to give away. I wasn't kidding when I said my chickens began to refuse it.

This. And they can be really hard to spot under the leaves. I refuse to eat those and feed them to the chickens and cows (and even the chickens began to refuse them this year).

This.

Yep.

Ugly. Really ugly. Sorry. Have you tried Vionics? They have cute stylish choices.

It does @ Trader Joes.

I also never have problems at my Aldi. Now the Kroger 2 miles away yuck.

I wear short sleeve t's at home all winter. And thin yoga pants with flip flops. Damn that woodstove. I even do a quick animal check with that on while dh layers up. Drives me crazy. Just check for eggs & hurry back in .

I don't even own a "winter" coat. I have a puffy vest, a hoodie & one of those really nice "knitted/crocheted" shawls. I can easily leave the house in below 20f and never use one. Between the car heat, store heat , etc I just don't need anything. My kids are the same. Not dh. He wants all the layers.

Hot. We only have wood heat (& its a cooking stove). I die a little each year knowing I have to use it. I sweat in my Carharts busting ice for animal water while my dh freezes. And I open windows while the rest of my family feeds Calcifer wood.

Blackberry. Seedless.
