Private Clubs Are Gone!

I live in Utah, and a law was recently changed that I am so happy about. Previously, Utah was known for its odd liquor laws, one in particular, and that law had to do with bars. Each bar had to be a “private club,” and what that meant is each time someone came in they had to either purchase a membership to the club or be with a member. The additional membership fee was annoying, but the worst part having to fill out a form with all of your information on it so that the bar could show state officials it had a membership system. Well, thankfully that law went away about a week ago and now out of state people will think we are a little less weird.

An Expensive Ride

Riding in an ambulance can cost a couple thousand dollars, even for a short five-minute drive. Without health insurance there is no way to cover that kind of expense. It is hard because sometimes an ambulance isn’t necessary but it would help, and if you are uninsured you might try and convince yourself you don’t need to call 911. Personally, I believe that everyone should feel okay about calling the ambulance, because taking a risk and not calling it could, and probably already has, cost someone their life. Riding in an ambulance is one of the many extremely expensive health related activities that could happen quickly, and if you don’t have health insurance you are taking a huge gamble.

Your Lawn or Your Dog

Dogs love grass, but grass usually doesn’t love dogs. If you have ever owned a dog, especially a female dog, you know that they can do quite a number on your previously pristine lawn. Female dogs have so much ammonia in the urine that when they pee on your grass that spot will turn yellow in three or four days. There are pills you can buy to prevent this, but it is really annoying. Dogs also like to dig and tear up pieces of sod. Why they do this I don’t know, but it seems like the only way to stop them is by keeping an eye on them. It is hard to train them to stop digging since it is so natural. If you want to have a perfect lawn, consider a different pet.

Pet Health Insurance is relatively new but going broke because of vet bills is not!
