A vasectomy is a beautiful and empowering thing for every man. In our society, vasectomies have become medicalized and often treated as a condition that requires medical attention. More men across Southern Utah are choosing a more natural vasectomy... in the comfort of their own home. If you want a more meaningful and natural experience, maybe an at-home vasectomy is for you.

WHY AN AT-HOME VASECTOMY?

With the Covid-19 pandemic, many mothers were not allowed to be in the hospital room with their husbands, leaving dad to go through this procedure alone. Plus, many hospitals are not willing to offer a drug-free "Natural Vasectomy." Many men choose to have the procedure done in their garage, bathtub, or inflatable pool in the back yard.

THE BENEFITS:

  • Much more cost effective. All you need is about 20-30 hand towels (or a few rolls of paper towels), scissors, hand sanitizer, and a box of Band-Aids.
  • Less chance of "chickening out" once the procedure has begun.
  • More manly.

MAKE IT SAFER & MORE COMFORTABLE:

  • You may want to consider hiring a Mid-Husband. The Mid-Husband will help walk you through breathing techniques, massage, deliver you ice chips to chew on, and monitoring the scrotum for hemorrhaging.
  • It's recommended having a mantra that you repeat to yourself to help get through the process. Something like "no more 3am feedings", "no more protection", or "College is expensive."

    HOME VASECTOMY MAY BE FOR YOU IF...:

  • You have a healthy, low-risk scrotum.
  • You want to eat ribs, steaks, or sandwiches during the procedure.
  • You want the comfort of your own home to watch the newest Mark Wahlberg movie, catch the big game, or fly your new drone around the neighborhood.

    Today the mayor of St. George, Michele Randall, announced that HOBBY LOBBY will be coming to the city! Hobby Lobby will be in the St. George Place. It's not completely clear which building the new Hobby Lobby will be in, but it's assumed that it's in the old abandoned K-Mart building. The K-Mart building has been out of business since 2019, and driving past it on a daily basis HURTS!

    Mayor Randall posted the announcement on Facebook today. "So happy to announce the developers of St George Place (old K Mart development) have signed a long term lease with Hobby Lobby. It will be opening early 2025. Yes, we're still eating on Trader Joe's but be patient."

    This is big news to St. George residents! Hobby Lobby is among the TOP requests for retail shops.

    If you're not aware of what Hobby Lobby is, their wikipedia page says the following: "Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., formerly Hobby Lobby Creative Centers, is an American retail company. It owns a chain of arts and crafts stores with a volume of over $5 billion in 2018. The chain has 1,001 stores in 48 U.S. states." It's a big place for home decor and crafts, especially for holiday decor.

    Having A Baby Boy?! Use THESE Utah Cities For Names!

    Untitled design - 1
    Canva
    loading...

    Hey, maybe you're having a baby boy soon and you're looking for a name. First off... CONGRATULATIONS! I have a son myself, and he's the most incredible thing ever. Boys are so fun! But let's say you're absolutely OBSESSED with the state of Utah, and you want something that shows that obsession. Well, there's nothing better than just naming him after a Utah city!

    Here are the best Utah city names that could double as a baby boy name!

    Alpine:

    Right off the bat... I love it! It's unique, it's cool! Just think of a high school kid named Alpine! You know he gets chicks! 9/10.

    Alton:

    I've known a few Altons. Every time they're cool, bald black guys! 7/10.

    Brian:

    Coming from Brian Head... and Nah. Brian needs to rest for a hundred years of so... It's too over used. 1/10.

    Bryce:

    Bryce is cool! Plus, Bryce Canyon is probably my favorite National Park in Utah. 6/10.

    Clarkston:

    I didn't even know this was a city in Utah, but I do know Jordan Clarkson, which is close to Clarkston, and he plays for the Jazz! 7/10.

    Daniel:

    Nah... another name name that needs to rest for a couple hundred years! 1/10.

    Dewey:

    Dewey sounds FUN! My Grandpa's best friend was named Dewey and he was the life of the party. 8/10.

    Ephraim:

    This sounds like a super religious guy... if that's you're thing then go for it... I don't love it though. 2/10.

    Hank:

    Hank the tank, baby! Hank comes from Hanksville, and this name is making a HUGE comeback in 2023. It's a little too old school for my liking, but it's not awful. 6/10.

    Henrie:

    Henrie comes from Henrieville and it's a unique way to spell it... But again, I think this one is WAY too old school. I would feel like this is an 80 year old man's name! 5/10.

    Hyde:

    This one is pretty cool, coming from Hyde Park! I kind of like it! 7/10.

    Joseph:

    This is my cousin's name and I feel like it's pretty boring... UNLESS you have a technicolored dream coat. In that case... It's awesome. But if you don't have the coat, then 2/10.

    Kingston:

    This is kind of cool. You could call him King. But he better be cool. that's a lot of pressure to put on a kid. 6/10.

    Payson:

    I've met quite a few Paysons here in Utah. I wonder if they got it from the name of the city! 4/10.

    Randolph:

    Randolph is DOPE! You can't call him Randy though. It HAS TO BE Randolph. "What up, Randolph?!" Sounds so cool. 9/10.

    River:

    There's a TON of River names in Utah. River Heights, Riverdale, Riverton. It's pretty cool, and mysterious too! 8/10.

    Rocky:

    Rocky Ridge is in Utah as well as Rockville. I think of a Boxer out of Philadelphia, so I'd probably always shout "YO ADRIAN!" at the poor kid. But it's still solid. 7/10.

    Roy:

    I actually don't like this name. My buddy has a neighbor that was mouthing off one time and tried coming into the house and I pushed him out. I about threw hands with the guy and low and behold... his name was Roy. Screw Roy. 1/10.

    Jordan:

    There's a lot of Jordans in Utah! West Jordan. South Jordan. Jordan High School. To be honest... It's a cool name. Michael Jordan made it awesome. 8/10.

    Stockton:

    Speaking of Michael Jordan... another NBA name. But this time, the whitest man to ever play in the league. One of my favorite NBA players of all time... John Stockton. Pretty cool that there's a Stockton, Utah, too! 7/10.

    Trenton:

    I've met a could Trentons before, in Utah! But Usually they just go by Trent. Trent makes me think of a sketchy dude that's unemployed and willing to hit a kid. So unfortunately, Trenton is a 2/10 for me.

    Woodruff:

    Absolutely, yes! Your kid would have so much swag and street red with the name Woodruff. Don't call him Woody. Just stick with Woodruff. If you gave him the name before birth, there's probably a high chance that he comes out with a full beard! 8/10.

    Having A Baby Girl?! Use THESE Utah Cities For Names!

    Hey, maybe you're having a baby girl soon and you're looking for a name. First off... CONGRATULATIONS! How special! But let's say you're absolutely OBSESSED with the state of Utah, and you want something that shows that obsession. Well, there's nothing better than just naming her after a Utah city!

    Here are the best Utah city names that could double as a baby girl name!

    Annabella:

    Annabella is a small little town outside of Richfield. It's cute and the name is too. Anna is cute, Bella is cute! I'll give it a solid 8/10.

    Aurora:

    Aurora, also up near Richfield. It's the name of Sleeping Beauty. However, it's not my favorite. I've known some CRAZY Auroras! 4/10.

    Beaver:

    Don't do this to your daughter... DON'T! Yes, it would be hilarious... but DON'T! 1/10.

    Brighton:

    I've met boys named Brighton, but never a girl named Brighton! It could be cute though! 7/10.

    Corinne:

    I've known MANY girls with this name, but never spelled that way. Always Kirrin or Koryn. Pretty solid name. 7/10.

    Delta:

    Call me crazy, but I LOVE this name for a girl. VERY CUTE! Like the Tanya Tucker song 'Delta Dawn'. 9/10.

    Elmo:

    If Elmo from Sesame Street wasn't a thing, this could actually be a cute name. But he STRAIGHT UP RUINED this name for anyone else. 2/10.

    Francis:

    This was my Grandma's name, but she was always called Fran. For some reason this name feel very... medieval to me. I'm not sure why though. Just feels like a King or Queen name. 6/10.

    Hooper:

    Hear me out! This could be cute! It's very unique, but a cute little girl named Hooper? I'm kind of for it! 8/10.

    Layton:

    I've known a few girls with this name before. Not Bad... But also, not extremely creative. 6/10.

    Logan:

    Is Logan a boy name? I think so... which makes it even cooler for a girl name! 7/10.

    Monroe:

    I love this name! This is actually on my list of baby names. Not because of Monroe, Utah, but because of my mom's LOVE for Marilyn Monroe. 10/10.

    Morgan:

    I can name probably 20 Morgans that I know. It's not extremely unique, but it's a solid name 7/10.

    Oakley:

    It's a cute name, but I think of the sunglasses. I'm not saying you're a douchebag if you wear Oakleys... but a lot of douchbags that I know wear Oakleys... 6/10.

    Perry:

    This one is NOT awful. It's actually kid of cool. Especially now that Matthew Perry has passed away, I could see this name becoming a hit. 8/10.

    Sandy:

    I feel like Sandy is always a woman with freckly shoulders, never wears sunscreen, probably rides a horse, and smokes cigarettes! 2/10.

    Torrey:

    I've known some absolutely GORGEOUS Torreys before. It's kind of cute actually! 8/10.

    If you're familiar with some of my stuff... I've called out businesses sometimes. I'm mostly pretty nice about it. It's usually "Hey... that's a little expensive!" or "Stop asking for a tip for every little thing." Some pretty basic stuff, ya know? Well this time, I'm going to go RIGHT AT A BUSINESS! That business is Dixie Direct Savings Guide. I'm pretty good friends with Tony Chambers, the owner of Dixie Direct Savings Guide... But he needs to hear this!

    The 2023 Dixie Direct Card expires on November 1st of 2023, and the same day the 2024 card is available for purchase. The Dixie Direct is a pretty great thing to have. For only $40, you can buy the card and it's FULL of free coupons to local restaurants and stores, PLUS TONS of buy-one-get-one-free deals. It's truly worth the $40!

    I'm from St. George, Utah, BORN AND RAISED BABY! Nobody is a bigger believer in St. George than I am. But quite frankly, these St. George businesses NEED TO STEP IT UP. I'm sick of making excuses for them. Enough is enough. It's time to make a change.

    The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the state of Utah is $4.27! Some place in St. George are ALMOST $5.00 per gallon! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm calling on these St. George businesses to step up and start selling gasoline!

    Dixie Direct Savings Guide:

    You can buy a Dixie Direct Savings Guide for only $40 and it's FULL of amazing deals on food, to entertainment, and services. But It's time they hook us up with buy one get one free gallons of gasoline! WE NEED HELP, TONY CHAMBERS! STEP IT UP!

    HUGE St. George Building Being Torn Down AS WE SPEAK!

    attachment-St. George building torn down

    Am I the only one that sees construction and has to pull over and watch it happen?! Well, this happened this morning as I was driving down Main Street in St. George! The Wells Fargo Drive Thru on Main Street and 100 South is being torn down to make room for the new St. George City Hall at Town Square. From the renderings of the new City Hall, it appears the entire Wells Fargo building is coming down, and not just the drive thru!

    The current City Hall building was built in 1980 and is 34,000 square feet. The new City Hall building will be completed in 2025, and will better help serve the 100,000+ members of St. George! It will be over 69,000 square feet and three stories tall. In addition to the City Hall building, there will be a 4-story tall parking structure.

    Things St. George Needs Changed NOW... If I Were The Mayor!

    Everyone has their own ideas of what would make Southern Utah a better place to live. We all have our ideas, right? Maybe it's things to make life easier, better, or less expensive. These are MY ideas of what I would change if I was the Mayor of St. George, Utah!

    1. Buildings Taller Than The Temple:

    CHURCH OF Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints | CANVA
    CHURCH OF Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints | CANVA
    loading...

    Apparently, St. George has some law that buildings in town cannot be taller than the St. George LDS Temple. That's pretty strange, especially because the Temple isn't really THAT tall. But Imagine the affordable housing we could have if we could have buildings that were 7, 8 or 9 stories tall!

    2. Public Transportation Trains:

    CANVA
    CANVA
    loading...

    We have the SunTran, but NO THANKS! I've never been on it, but it seems dirty and slow. But, what about a train? A quick one that could get you from Washington to Santa Clara in 10 minutes? Or Ivins to Little Valley in 10 minutes? That would be awesome, especially on Saturdays when the traffic is harsh.

    3. BIG CONCERTS:

    Untitled design - 1
    Canva | Getty Images
    loading...

    St. George, Utah has over 100,000 people here! That doesn't include Cedar City, Hurricane, Ivins, Santa Clara, or Mesquite! It's complete BS that we aren't able to get BIG concerts in St. George. It's especially crazy because we are RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. Huge groups are passing through town almost everyday. In 2021, Missoula, Montana had Guns N' Roses play in their city. Missoula was a population of 75,000 people. That's 25,000 less than St. George. LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

    4. SLIDE THE CITY DAY:

    Have you ever heard of the 1979 BLOCKBUSTER The Electric Horseman? Did you know it was shot ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY in St. George and surrounding areas? It's an incredible blast from the past if you grew up in St. George! It feels so familiar to watch. If you haven't seen The Electric Horseman it is currently streaming on Netflix!

    A quick synopsis of the movie: 

    Robert Redford plays a retired 5x rodeo champion, Sonny Steele. He's now the face of a cereal brand with a $12,000,000 horse named Rising Star. When he finds out the horse is mistreated in Las Vegas, he rides away on the horse and heads for St. George, Utah. Sonny turns into a fugitive on the run. A tv reporter played by Jane Fonda finds Sonny and Rising Star in St. George and helps Sonny with his plan: Releasing Rising Star with wild mustangs.

    Here are some of the AMAZING photos of old St. George!

    The first scene of the movie features a football game at THIS stadium. Anyone recognize this place? That's the Dixie SunBowl!

    Jane Fonda's Character, Hallie catches up with Sonny and Rising Star. I'm trying to put my finger on where this is. It looks like it's up near the Sugar Loaf aka Dixie Rock, somewhere in that area. You can see the mountains to the West AND Pine Valley to the North.
