Harmons Closes for Lindsay Lohan?
August 22nd, 2007 · No Comments
So I heard on the radio this morning that the Harmons grocery store on 8th North in Orem kicked out their customers so Lindsay Lohan could go shopping privately.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade, right? Apparently a candidate by the name of Michael J. Whimpey is running for Orem City Council.
The funny part is that his tagline on his posters is “a STRONG voice for the people.”

August 10th, 2007 · No Comments
In Utah, there are a ton of companies out there that claim to let you make millions from home, doing nothing. Any smart person knows that if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Honestly, it’s hard to take many companies seriously because there are so many shady ones out there.
One concept, however, […]
