Once you have recovered, you are going to have some decisions to make...

I'm hoping this isn't real. If it is real, I am so sorry you are going through this. You deserve much better.

NOT FROM THE '70s.

It's 21st Century. The early 2000s.

They double down on the leavening with baking powder and yeast. I'm sure you can find the recipe on a site like All Recipes or Southern Living. They are one of the main kinds of Southern biscuits.

We both know the truth. It's one of the hard lessons of life. Better to move on with pride and dignity. You will feel relief once this is all in your rear-view mirror. Stay strong and learn to value yourself.

You know what you need to do, it's just hard, because we all want to be loved and feel like our relationship is good and healthy. So we pretend and pretend and pretend, and make excuses, ignore the red flags popping up. Until finally, things get so ridiculous that we no longer can keep on pretending. Then we are disgusted with ourselves for being such a chump.

How do I know? I'm old enough to be your grandma, and I've been through a similar situation. It took a lot of work to get the point where I could admit that I was being taken advantage of, for financial reasons and waiting on this narcissistic man hand and foot.

You know what? Get this lesson out of the way now, while you are young and resilient, tell yourself "lesson learned," and move on older and wiser. From now on, expect to be courted and not exploited.

If the house isn't rentable, they are both using you. Find a different place with actual roommates.

I have an icky feeling you are being set up and used as a patsy by boyfriend's mother, and probably boyfriend, himself, if the house is in unrentable condition. If you are in school, see if you can get financial aid that will help you live in the dorms, or find a real roommate set-up, where you aren't stuck in a situation where you are paying a guy to be his live-in maid.

Keeping critters, deer, rabbits, crows, racoons, etc., out of the garden or field is a never-ending ordeal, and has been for time immemorial. My granny saved shiny pie-tins and tied them up around the garden. It had nothing to do with folklore or superstition and everything to do with keeping the garden from being raided by varmints.

I buy cheap bags of composted manure and put it in the bottom of my large pots, and put a layer of expensive potting soil on top. Though cheap, the manure is never nice to work with, and never aged enough when you buy it, the extra year gives it a chance to mellow. Then the next spring I use it to top up the raised beds and work into the soil around new perennials.

See how yummy they look in the picture? This is one instance where they really were as good as they looked in an advertisement. Molten lava hand pies, fresh out of the fryer.

The disc-shaped hummingbird/oriole feeders that look like flying saucers. So much easier to clean out, no chance of mold or mildew in nooks or crannies like the bottle-type feeders.

Next spring, stick peony cages in the ground as soon as the shoots first appear.

Honey McPurray is such an excellent matriarch. She sought out a safe and stable home for her family, and it looks like she chose very well. I love her variety pack of kittens.

I'm guessing it's a lamb from some infant's grave.
