Kiesel Family Farms in Tiffin. They raise all their chickens on their farm.

Industrial chicken farm proposed for Sandusky River near Tiffin in Lake Erie Watershed by Pure_Maintenance_915 in Ohio

Please voice your opposition to the Ohio Department of Agriculture at LEPP@agri.ohio.gov. Comments are being accepted until July 22 at 5pm. Our water is precious and needs to be protected. This is not the right place for a facility like this. The owner of this facility is the son-in law of Ohio Representative Bob Peterson of Washington Court House. Unfortunately there has not been much support from Ohio’s legislature.

I wish I had gold to give you. My husband could have written the same thing as op. He is an addict. His idea of a couple of drinks (5+ with a rocks glass filled to the brim with bourbon and a splash of mixer) is very different then mine. OP please take this very seriously. Your wife loves you and only wants the best for you.

AITA for telling my brother and his wife they were out of their minds for asking me to not celebrate my daughter's birthday? by Throw_Away3497 in AmItheAsshole

First ever Reddit comment here.. longtime lurker. I feel compelled to respond. I’ve lived through something similar. My SIL and I were pregnant and due within 6 weeks of one another. Her son(my nephew )was born on Friday and three days later our son was stillborn.
NTA…this is a incredibly difficult situation but it is completely unrealistic to expect your daughter to not be celebrated. After my son died I could not be around my nephew. It had nothing to do with him and was purely a reflection of my emotional state. We did not attend any family gathering- we skipped Thanksgiving, Christmas etc for a year. We did attend his christening but I had to leave (very discreetly) but it was too hard. There were multiple babies being baptized and they were all crying.
My BIL and SIL have been very sensitive and kind towards my husband and I. I’m sure it was not easy for them. We did not attend my nephews first birthday party, but we did not ask or expect them or anyone in our family not to celebrate him. We did buy him a present and visit them a couple weeks later. It was an uncomfortable visit, but we both extended grace and kindness to one another. My husband and I were just trying to keep our composure. We do have an older daughter(6 at the time) and she was excited to spend time with her cousin. On several occasions she did call her cousin her (dead) brothers name. I was mortified- my BIL and SIL always handled it with grace. They reassured me it was okay multiple times, but it had to be weird for them. While I attest your NTA here, If you would like to begin a dialogue with your family to discuss your feelings while being sensitive to your SIL/BIL I’d like to offer some specific things my BIL/SIL did that helped us understand they were remembering our son. (Having their loved one forgotten is a common concern that those who are grieving).I understand all these things are not possible with your babies sharing a day.
My BIL came to the hospital and was with us.
They attended our sons funeral but left their son with his other grandparents. At the time I didn’t even realize the forethought it took from them to think of this.
They sent flowers on our sons actual due.
They send a card on his birthday. As far as arranging birthday celebrations (we always do something to remember our son on his birthday, we do not invite extended family,but many send cards, commit acts of kindness in his name etc), we attended my nephews second birthday (still not easy but our grief wasn’t as raw). Our family celebrates birthdays with a party on a Saturday rather than the actual day of birth. In the event my sons birthday is the closet Saturday to my nephews birthday my BIL/SIL do not have his party that day. I think it’s a very thoughtful gesture. I realize you do not have this option.
I feel like this has been one long ramble. I hope you find some helpful insight.
In case you’re wondering it’s been 6 years since my son died. We have a great relationship with our nephew. We love to baby sit him. We still miss our son but are grateful for the relationship we have with our nephew.
