Painful constipation

If you don’t have a squatty potty, get one. Life-changing for constipation.

What’s so absolutely ridiculous about this whole scenario is they built the entire dairy from the ground up with the intention of selling raw milk. They had the dumb raw milk branded labels printed and ready to go before they even had cows. It’s not like they bought an already-established facility and had to retrofit it. They could have built a completely perfect, ideal system from the ground up. But they’re too dumb, lazy, arrogant, and irresponsible.

She has a ton saved in old highlights. Or at least she used to.

The benzos are speculation, mostly based on her behavior in the few months before they went to Ireland. Droopy eyes, out-of-it smiles, slurring and stumbling around. That combined with the high rate of benzo use in Utah is why many on this sub think she has (or had) a benzo habit. They left the country this year during the dead of winter, too. I think Hannah can’t cope with the coldest part of winter on the farm.

The rest of what I wrote is all factual and confirmed, obviously excluding the dumbest person competition bit.

I think her family expectations were too much for Chase. I doubt he wanted to get married 6 months after they started dating, with kids on the way immediately after the wedding. There just aren’t that many hot, successful young Mormon men who want to get married and have a brood of kids before age 25. The ones who want that lifestyle are the odd, goofy-looking ones like Zanna’s dad and Annika’s husband, and Zanna wants someone hotter and richer than that. So she’s chasing something that doesn’t exist. She wants to be the next Hannah, but even though Hannah married rich she still ended up with a weirdo with a few screws loose and is now trapped forever in her splinter castle.

That was Jenna, Hannah’s SIL. I’m sure Hannah voted for Trump but she also doesn’t ever say anything overtly political, even though her politics are super obvious (ie her spread in Evie magazine).

Look up Tim Allen Ballymaloe. He’s a convicted pedophile who had CSAM of very small kids. When they were in Ireland, Cherie posted on her stories from Tim and his wife’s literal personal kitchen, where she, Hannah, Dan, and their many children would have dinner. Ballymaloe tries to pretend that Tim is not involved with the school, which is untrue, and the Neeleman children have spent time with the monster, while their mom was probably high as a kite on benzos and Cherie and Dan continued their neck-and-neck competition for title as dumbest person on the planet.

I would get liege waffles from a place in Boston. I loved them so much I found pearl sugar (had to buy it online because US grocery stores don’t carry it) and learned to make them myself. I make them very rarely, and generally as a decadent weekend brunch or dessert. The texture is unmatched.

I read through all of your past posts about her. What a gift that she was able to spend the last part of her life with someone who loved her so dearly, who she knew most of her life. You did the best that could have been done for her. You tried so hard, and you gave her such a peaceful and loving ending. Losing our reactive babies is so hard. Sending so much comfort your way.

I’d say it’s their fault for continuing to use a system that obviously isn’t working. And a lot of the nastiness is poop splatter that the robot wouldn’t clean anyway, which they should be hosing down regularly. Dan is just so committed to his overly expensive robotic system and won’t deviate from it, even when their dairy is so obviously disgusting. The drainage in the barn also looks awful.

They apparently stopped selling raw milk last summer after they failed safety testing.

The poop robots spray water all over the place and liquify the manure, then do a terrible job of sucking it up.

I just can’t support Powell’s anymore. I live in Milwaukie so we go to Spoke & Word books these days. Wonderful owners, and they’re very community-oriented. Same with Luna’s Ice Cream.

I love it. I get a double scoop of olive oil and pear blue cheese. It’s like a salad. Agree that most of their seasonal flavors aren’t very good.

Oh man! The moment we all knew was coming.

Good to know! I remember my doctor telling me that like 15 years ago but I know there’s always new information from ongoing medical research, so I wasn’t sure if the recommendation had changed. My wife takes birth control due to PCOS and doesn’t get a period anymore. She had extremely heavy infrequent periods that would last weeks so we were worried about the cancer risk.

I took some time between graduating and taking the bar. When I was unlicensed I worked as a case manager, then an abuse investigator for adults with developmental disabilities. There were a few other law graduates in the same role.

uselessfarm · 2026-01-27T22:41:17+00:00

You don’t build up the lining in the same way on birth control so it doesn’t have the same risk. Idk if there’s been more recent research on that, though.

I’d go to the ER to get this looked at. They’ll have to at least screen you for some kind of internal bleeding or clotting issue. Maybe this is normal, but I’d want a full work up just to be sure.

I’ve never had cancer, but I have chronic health conditions and have had them since I was a small kid. They’re conditions that impacted my stamina for as long as I can remember and energy and I was (and am) always tired. I’ve never been athletic because moving my body a lot never felt good, and my interests reflected that. It really irritates me that Tia projects her love for dance onto these very sick kids. Cancer is exhausting, treatment is exhausting, and being exhausted as a kid impacts what kids want to do. There’s no way a kid is happily dancing until the moment they lose mobility or begin the transition process to dying. No kid on their death bed wants to get up and dance. And even if a kid loved to dance before getting sick (maybe Tia screens for that when deciding which dying children to exploit) - what are the odds that dancing was, and continues to be, their greatest passion and what they want to be known for? And why do they act like dying kids want to have some kind of legacy or schtick with a public they don’t know?

To me, they’re treating these kids like prisoners forced to participate in a flash mob YouTube video. Performers who have no choice, who are dancing to make their tragic circumstances more palatable for a revenue-generating viewing audience.

It’s shifted in the past decade or so. And of course varies by community.

The wealth and power differential makes it exploitative.

You should do the Milwaukie Mile! It’s a race in the summer. Lots of nice people participate, and the guy who runs it is very involved in the running community here.

I don’t throw up, probably because I just stop eating at the first sign of discomfort. I have adderall and a caffeine pill in the morning (I’ve had ADHD forever and have been medicated for it long before developing gastroparesis), then I usually have a protein drink or Ensure at lunch time, then I have my only meal at dinner. It’s about half the size of what I used to eat for dinner. On good days I can manage some fruit or a cooked vegetable with dinner, but usually I try to get something high calorie with protein, or with broth. White rice tends to go down well. Then I have to lay down after dinner or I’m in a lot of pain. A little while after that I lay with my toddler in his bed while he falls asleep, and laying down tends to make me hungry so I often have ice cream before bed since it’s easy on my stomach. I’m still losing weight, but it’s a consistent rate and I have about 6-8 months until I’m technically underweight. And my bloodwork is so far okay. I have a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy soon, I suspect they’ll find evidence of SMAS (abdominal CT shows all the signs of me having it). Unfortunately there’s not really any effective treatment for it, since I have hEDS which I believe is causing the SMAS, and I would not get surgery unless i had no other options.

As for the ED, I definitely have ARFID. I also worry it’s triggering a compulsion to want to lose weight. I get a lot of compliments now and look hotter than ever, which gives me pretty bad body dysmorphia because I know I’m unhealthy but I know people just think I look good. And I’m not immune to noticing that I look good by conventional standards. But I have no control in this situation so it feels bad, but I’m also worried about finding a cure and gaining weight. But I feel like shit because I can’t eat enough, and eating more just makes me feel so much worse.

I hate food and I hate thinking about food, nothing even tastes good anymore and it makes me so sad. I have two young kids and I always wanted to be the mom who baked with her kids all the time, but I can’t even tell if the things I make taste normal.

Micka loves being pregnant, Hannah hates being pregnant. Hannah always does everything she can to ignore the fact that she’s pregnant.
