Is it Really a Felony to Forge a Doctor’s Note in Indiana?
A little white lie might seem like a good idea until it lands you in jail. I will admit that I have forged a signature or two in my life. I'm pretty sure the statute of limitations is up from the time that I signed my report card, instead of my mom. She was supposed to sign it because I had a failing grade. Oh, I should also mention that I changed that F to a B on the said report card. Wow - A weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

New Drink Banned in Indiana but Legal in Ohio and Illinois
A new non-alcoholic beverage called "New Brew" has been banned in Indiana but remains legal in surrounding states. READ MORE: Will Drinking Diet Coke Lead to an Early Grave?. I'm a fairly simple man when it comes to my daily beverage intake. Every morning, I have a cup or two of black coffee, and then it's usually just water for the rest of the day. However, a couple of times a week, I treat myself to an ice-cold glass of milk or a chilled can of Diet Coke. I really don't consume an abundance of alcohol, energy drinks, or other sports drinks these days, so New Brew was definitely not on my radar. However, I do believe it's important for folks to be aware of it, especially if you live in the Hoosier State, because it could get you into trouble.
