I love JU...but Im getting frustrated with something and dont know who to ask or where to get the info I need because there is no help area, at least that I can find, on JU. While signed in...I cant reply to posts. Whenever I reply to a post, it is when I type in, in the anonymous box. While signed in, I never have the option of adding a comment. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

Im sorry for those of you who live in Las Vegas, or somewhere in the middle of the desert....but this might offend... There is no way, ever that I would consider Las Vegas my home. First off...its in the middle of a barren wasteland of a desert. After you stay in LV for a few months, you realize what kind of city it is. People often move there...but lots of people move out as well, despite the growing size of the city. They are going through teachers there like crazy. They had to hire...

Well I was going to write a big ol blog about the bad parts of our trip....but whats the point of just writing negative stuff....or mostly negative stuff. My girlfriend Marcie (JU: MarcieHelen) and I live in Las Vegas...and we wanted to go somewhere else for Thanksgiving since we are so far away from family anyways. She had the idea of going to San Diego a few months ago and thats where we went. We ended up staying at a Ramada over there....paying wayyyy toooo much for a Thanksgiving bu...

Well this otta get a whole lot of flames, more than anything else I have written so far. And Im not writing to get flames...or to anger people...I'm just writing to speak my mind. As I write this, Im trying to think of how to NOT make it sound like all the other posts on here that have the same subject, because God and Government is a big issue, always has been. My desire is to maybe spark a new idea, a new thought, make you wonder, make you think. One of the recent posts here o...

Well I don't have cable TV so I missed the debates tonight. I went over to Cnn.com and looked at the transcripts of some of the questions on there, of what they had posted so far. Has anyone noticed at all, how politicians avoid questions they dont want to answer? I mean I guess this is a natural thing that we all encounter when we are asked something. We start off on that subject...then switch to something close to that subject...then switch to something that is close to what we just...

Well for the second time in less than a month, I have managed to kill a thing (bag?...what the heck do you call what you get in the box) of Sea Monkeys. The first batch lasted for a while...a while to me. I think I started them in February of this year. We had to move down here to Las Vegas, and so instead of just flushing them, I wanted to take them with me. They were fine the first couple of days....but on the last day of the trip...they died. I kept checking on them...but I think they...

Well I made it through the first week of school and Im still here. I think thats a good sign. Monday, I took longer than I should have in getting the students inside as they started the Pledge of Allegiance and 30 seconds of silence. This week, we just mainly got our routines down pretty well and I started doing some assessing, trying to figure out where they were. A fellow teacher told me not to have any assumptions about where they are or should be as that will only cause myself to let ...

Captain, we need more time...we just cant do it! with less than a week to go, i feel really rushed for getting stuff ready on time. School, is like organized chaos. At least, it can be. If its not organized, then there is chaos. Today, I finally got the keys to my classroom, got in and started getting to work although I dont feel like I got much done. Basically, I moved the desks around from their storage spot in the room, and made up 7 rows going across the room (rectangular) and fo...

Well another Monday...although this time, its sort of a new monday because Marcie and I are now teachers in Las Vegas. Today, we went to the district office to complete paperwork and other stuff. We went in around 9:20 am, and got out of there around 3pm. All we did was just get our fingerprints taken, signed an affadavit, and then took a tuberculosis test, but there were only 3 people taking the finger prints, and most of us who needed the prints taken, needed 4 cards...so it just took a ...

Well I havent written in a while...dont have much time. Marcie and I have moved to Las Vegas....We were offered jobs out here and within a week, had to be on the road out of town. Our Saturday , we got down to Omaha Nebraska...then on Sunday, we made it to Eagle, CO. Finally on Monday the 16th, we got down here to Las Vegas at night. We didn't have a place to live, so we stayed in a hotel for two nights and finally moved into an apartment we found on Wednesday. The place we are stayi...
