Monopolies Are Bad For Nevadans, Here’s Why

September 11, 2018 By lyndsinreallife Leave a Comment

This post is sponsored by Nevada Speaks.

I have loved living in Nevada for the past 2 years. It’s such a cool state, full of beauty, history, recreation, and of course, Las Vegas (where I’m living currently)!

The cost of living is relatively low (at least compared to where I lived before moving to Nevada). I’ve lived in a few apartments here, and my boyfriend and I are currently in the process of moving into a house. It’s exciting!
But, there’s a problem. Monopolies. And I’m not talking about the board game. You don’t get to collect $200. It’s more like you have to give away that $200, to the ONE energy company available in Nevada.
With the energy monopolies, Nevadans have no choice in which company/service they use. Without competition, Nevadans have to pay whatever the energy company says. Don’t want to pay it? Fine, but you won’t have any power. The options are: pay what you’re told, or live in a powerless apartment/house.
Let’s be real, that’s not a fair choice. So we are stuck paying possibly hundreds of dollars a month on our electric bill. With no competition, this energy company is free to charge whatever they want. They don’t have to worry about us going to a different company… because there isn’t one!

It’s clear: more competition = lower rates.

Pumpkin Patch Fun at Stu Miller’s in Henderson/Las Vegas

October 30, 2016 By lyndsinreallife 3 Comments

Friday was Nevada Day (observed), so Tim and I decided to go to the pumpkin patch in Henderson! I pass Stu Miller’s Seasonal Adventures Pumpkin Patch almost every day, and I really wanted to check it out.

I was surprised (and happy!) to see so many pumpkins so close to Halloween. We visited a pumpkin patch in LA last year, on Halloween weekend as well, and they only had a few crummy ones leftover. But Stu Miller’s had a ton of great pumpkins and gourds!

They even had some crazy and cool looking pumpkins!

We took Archie with us and I took some fun photos of him with the cutouts + a pumpkin! I ended up buying the little pumpkin shown in the photos. It was just too cute! I figure after Halloween, I can mash it up and feed it to Archie since pumpkins are good for their digestive system. 🙂

Tim took a really cute photo of Archie and I:

There were plenty of kids activities, too! They had a blow up slide (I really wanted to go on it haha), bouncy house, petting zoo, sky bungee jump thing, and a cute little train. You could even dress up the scare crows.

We had such a great time, I definitely recommend this pumpkin patch to everyone in the Las Vegas/Henderson area! Parking is free and they have a private dirt lot. They offer packages for the kids activities, plus candy, carving tools, and of course, pumpkins!
