Shameful scum!
O'BAMA REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE...
Obama says, 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides. There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'
Terrorist Jerk!

Not a good idea!
What part of don't get a tattoo did this person not understand?
Here is what President Hinckley said about tattoos...
"Now comes the craze of tattooing one’s body. I cannot understand why any young man—or young woman, for that matter—would wish to undergo the painful process of disfiguring the skin with various multicolored representations of people, animals, and various symbols. With tattoos, the process is permanent, unless there is another painful and costly undertaking to remove it. Fathers, caution your sons against having their bodies tattooed. They may resist your talk now, but the time will come when they will thank you. A tattoo is graffiti on the temple of the body."
"I promise you that the time will come, if you have tattoos, that you will regret your actions. They cannot be washed off. They are permanent. Only by an expensive and painful process can they be removed. If you are tattooed, then probably for the remainder of your life you will carry it with you. I believe the time will come when it will be an embarrassment to you. Avoid it. We, as your Brethren who love you, plead with you not to become so disrespectful of the body which the Lord has given you."

Famous Brother Jake! Good Job!
Mission Viejo volunteers clean up Oso Creek
Volunteers participating in Inner Coastal Cleanup Day brought in 800 pounds of trash.
The Orange County Register
About 200 volunteers grabbed a bag, put on a pair of gloves, and combed the Oso Creek trail for trash during Inner Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday.
Volunteers were out on trail from 8 a.m. to noon picking up litter and debris
This is the seventh year Mission Viejo has hosted the clean up event. Volunteers brought in 800 pounds of trash and 100 pounds of recyclables.
Inner Coastal Cleanup Day, held in conjunction with Coastal Cleanup Day, is one of California's largest volunteer efforts. It's always held on the third Saturday of September. Throughout the state last year, more than 60,000 volunteers worked together to remove more than 900,000 pounds of litter and debris from beaches, lakes and waterways.
Virtual Tour
I sometimes have freak out moments when my OCD (Self diagnosed) kicks in and I freak out when the house is sometimes messy. These pictures give my life new meaning and make me feel a whole lot better about how our place can sometimes get. Enjoy! (Not for the weak of stomach)
This is what the article said about the place:
"This has nothing to do with the Hurricane. We had a resident who had an outstanding balance for over a month and no one could get ahold of her. The Bookkeeper went inside after so many tries to leave a note and this is what we found.
The pictures do NO justice. There is suppose to be 2 cats living here but we cant find them (we think they’re dead somewhere inside the apartment-we contacted the SPCA). The place REEKS to say the least, i gagged non stop."
