Phyllis Haag Smith is a Hemp Farmer — and it is paying the bills

By Megan M. SeckmanThink “hemp farmer” and I’m sure your mental image conjures up someone bearded and bohemian. But Kentucky, it’s time you met your real local hemp farmer: Phyllis Haag Smith.

Try this Delicious Summer Salad

By Paige RhodesIf you’re a true Southerner, your summers were probably spent snacking on vegetables from the garden.

My husband wants to stay in his affair — and stay married to me.

By Joyce Oglesby Q: “I don’t want to lose my husband, but he wants to stay in his affair and stay married to me. He presents a great argument for the reasoning — he doesn’t want our kids to have part-time parents, we’d have to split everything, and it would be difficult for both of us to economically survive. I’m torn because I love him, but I’m not sure I can share him, either. How do I convince myself to be OK with something I’m not comfortable with?Joyce: A twisted arm will never find relief [...]
