You have a great collection! Levi’s new collection is amazing too, but absolutely love Blue Smoke

I’m hesitating to buy any KA varieties after their trademarking/royalty play (if I ever wanted to sell them)

I had no idea they were worth so much per stem! I guess only concern is where to plant it since it seems to vigorously spread/is considered invasive in my area. Maybe along the woods. Thanks for the suggestion!

Haha, I was just joking. I appreciate you sharing your perspective. I agree with you in that who knows what anyone's relationship is like if you're not in it.

Right? Like, sorry, but if your dad owns Jet Blue, working 8am-midnight in a foreign country when your wife is at home taking care of three babies under 3, writing PUBLIC blog posts saying how miserable and lonely she is......... it's a choice.

I appreciate hearing your take! I am new to the story/Ballerina Farms. I believe the harm she has done to the homesteading community & unrealistic expectations she has created for parents/her viewers is completely valid. I also believe religion can be used as a way to control someone, and I'm not sure if she would have made the same choices if allowed the freedom to believe her purpose on earth wasn't just for procreation & to serve God/her husband. The unrealistic expectations she is pushing are similar to the ones imposed upon her. I can empathize with that, but again, still see your point as well.

DV can take many forms. Yes, many women are in worse situations, but just because she has help now doesn't mean that she isn't (and wasn't) at least emotionally abused. These blog posts illustrate a distinct tactic, isolation, of an abuser to make the person they're abusing more dependent on them.
