My state passed a law stating that businesses do not have to make allowances for "emotional support animals", only trained service dogs. It contains a notable exception:RCW 49.60.218 posted:(2) A food establishment shall make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures to permit the use of a miniature horse by an individual with a disability in accordance with subsection (1) of this section if the miniature horse has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of the individual with a disability. In determining whether reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures can be made to allow a miniature horse into a facility, a food establishment shall act in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. If you are both disabled and BWM, Washington is the state for you. The catch is that most cities prohibit miniature horses on lots smaller than 10,000 square feet so I've never had the pleasure of seeing somebody walk into a restaurant alongside a service horse.

Yeah, an acre is 43,560 square feet, or by PLSS definitions, 10 square chains. Or 1/640 square miles, because the was once some logic to the customary system.

Bull loving poo poo. We are talking about the financial and logistical feasibility of owning an emotional support miniture horse in the close in suburbs of Seattle. Please tell me how that is not Bad with money content.

But I will since it checks off a lot of the boxes in this thread. Are you sure you're not intentionally conflating essential oils with linament to make a more interesting post? bigeloil is just water soluble ben-gay type stuff for horses. You can use it on yourself too, it's wonderful for sore feet after long runs. Also, just because a horse is no longer rideable doesn't mean it's meant for the glue factory. Retiring a horse as a pasture ornament is like giving a person a retirement. It's served you well for years, let it just be a pasture critter. Now, if the cancer leaves the animal in considerable pain, euthanasia is always an option, and your mom may have trouble letting go. It's hard for me to understand sometimes, but people get very attached to their horses. BloodBag fucked around with this message at 13:37 on May 18, 2017 |

, but my parents are retired and set financially, so I can't really call it BWM, but it would be just about any other time.

Can I get my kids designated as Emotional Support Animals so that I don't have to buy a seat for them and they can just lay on the floor by the seats or something? That's where they end up most of the time anyway. They're smaller than a miniature horse.

I bet restaurant owners and landlords will be glad to finally have some legal backing.

When I used to work in a grocery store I was always told that if someone said their animal was a support animal, we weren't permitted to ask for proof because that would be an ADA violation or something, so if they said it was a support animal, it was free to go around the store with them. More than one scared little dog took a poo poo all over our floor. Then again I recently learned that its never been a "health violation" to be barefoot in a grocery store either, and I was always told that as well, so I don't know what's true except that US law is confusing and stupid.

If you've ever been around a real service dog it's infuriating to see the fake ones. My cousin is a dwarf and has epilepsy and the dog helps her get around, gets items for her, alerts her parents prior to a seizure that one is coming, all sorts of stuff. and while he's working he completely ignores everyone else and has a big sign on his jacket saying not to pet him. The second the jacket comes off and he's on break he's a happy friendly dog, and the demeanor switches instantly when he gets back to work. Then you see all the fake ones being hauled around and it's a total insult

The law doesn't say you have to ID all members of the party around here, but we've also decided it's cool to hold the cashier liable should the ID'd actual purchaser provide alcohol to minors, so you pretty much have a duty to do all these things to CYA. BWM: having to be an expert on every state's ID and figure out who the alcohol is really for at risk of huge personal liability while performing for your employer and making $10.50/hr

You can't sell alcohol to someone legal age if you feel that they're going to be distributing it to a minor, this combined with corporate paranoia means sometimes policy is just to card everyone just to make sure some mindless drone doesn't get your company in hot water.

I took the flight and everything went well. Then I got a call yesterday from a collection agency claiming that they are investigating a credit card fraud and want to confirm if I boarded the flight. The amount they claim is $8k and want me to provje that I didn't board the flight. The theory is that the scammed dude bought a flight in buttcoins from someone online. That someone online was using a stolen credit card, and the charges got reversed and the airline is now investigating the passenger as their only lead in the fraud case.

If buying ticket was not illegal, and he didn't have a reason to suspect it was the result of a crime, he should be ok. The fact that he called him sketchy does make me suspect he was well aware of the fact this might be a criminal enterprise ad just got greedy.

If he got a really expensive business/first class international ticket that would normally cost thousands of dollars for a couple hundred bucks, I don't he can really claim that he was acting in good faith. If it was a $600 domestic coach ticket that he paid someone $300 for because they had a flight voucher that was about to expire, that's more believable.

I'd think you'd still have to get the turkey a ticket, planes are always stuffed so the airlines would definitely bawk at free tickets gobbling up all their supply and you'd get roasted by the other passengers if they found out.

Quick napkin math tells me if he had invested that in a safe index starting in 2011 and just lived off the interest he'd be pulling in 80-90k pounds a year today for doing absolutely nothing while still allowing the principle to grow. Depending on how long it took for them to give the full amount. What an incredible dipshit. The suit just proves karma is a thing.

The judge threw it out, so it looks like they'll all be saving money on legal fees. Also, thank you, the principal/principle distinction is missed a lot even in professional contexts.
