Your Lhasa Apso looks just like our Shih Tzus. We have 4 Shih Tzus and a cat that I rescued. You can see millions of pics of my Shih Tzus on http://www.gojasonville.com/shih-tzu/index.php I believe I read somewhere where the Shih Tzus originated by mixing the Tibetan Mountain Dog, Pekingese and/or Lhasa Apso. We may be giving away one of our adult shih tzus puppies next week :(. He is over a year old and I'm very attached but it is so hard to take care of all of them and work so much. It will be going to a good home though with young kids. It loves to play ball so they will be able to give it more of the needed attention. I think he will be happy to go to such a good home.

It's always great to hear what the alumni are up to.

Wow teenager and toddler bet that keeps you busy.  I only have one daughter Kiersten and she will be 19 soon. And my boyfriend has a son but he is in New Mexico right now. Not enough excitement around here for him LOL. Well, if you are used to a big city then Jasonville might seem rather dull, but for older people like me I enjoy the peace and quiet and the lower cost of living in a small town. Living in big cities most of his life, my boyfriend says Jasonville is like camping everyday hehehe.

Pictures cool, sure send me some pics. I will send you my email address. You can also join the photo gallery and post them there if you want. I'm sure fellow classmates would like to see pics too...

We need more interaction on here. Don't you think? It will be fun hearing what everyone is up to now days. Help us spread the word. Plus if you get people to join you earn reward points and we have plans for some pretty cool rewards. The rewards are coming soon. Just have to fit in the time to get it organized. Woot Video...Your World. Believe It. Or Not.

Michelle, I am not sure if you received my email, but you daughter is more then welcome to come and visit at my school and put my name down if she applies to IPS.  I teach at one of the year round schools so we go to school until the middle of June.  She should be out by then.  Just let me know.  Keep in touch!

Hi Ted... Welcome to the GoJasonville blog

I checked the forum and for some reason you were listed as inactive. I fixed it so you should be able to login now. Sorry about that. The activation email may have went to my not so trusty spam folder.

The bad thing is that since we started this social networking section after the forum, chat, guestbook etc were finished, they all use seperate databases. Each user has to create an account for each seperate section. I don't like using CMS scripts, which is what we are using for this section, but it is the easiest way without having to write a whole new script. I could switch everything over to this, bridge the different scripts, or combine the databases, and that may be an option in the future as time allows, but wow that would be a chore. Or we could have joined a network that is already done like Ning, but I like to design my own pages, learn new skills, and put my own little touches into it. GoJasonville is over 150 pages not including all the externals like the forum, guestbook, chat, classifieds, etc. If you know anyone with advice on this I would like to know the easiest way to integrate the scripts into one database. Depending on the interaction we get here will depend on how much time I put into it. I don't want to integrate the GoJasonville html pages into the cms script, as those took forever to complete. Just the php scripts.

Sounds like Jim and Whitney are doing outstanding. My daughter is at Vincennes University and is majoring in English Literature or Elementary Education. She wants to teach in an urban area. Originally she was going to go into teen psychology to help inner city kids. What grade does Whitney teach? I worry about my daughter being able to find a job in education, but she is willing to move out of Indiana so hopefully she will find a job when she graduates.

Jim's company looks interesting and very important. Network security is big business. We could use your brothers expertise here. Security is definately important that's for sure. Do they analyze web scripts and such? From the info on their website it sounded like they do but wow there is a lot of info on there.

The main problem I have with MacIntosh is software cost and availablity, although I haven't researched lately I have noticed in the past that software for Mac is pretty costly. I would say there is probably a lot more availablity and that probably isn't so much an issue now. How are Mac's for gaming? Not that I am into gaming much, except for an occassional game of Sims or Roller Coaster Tycoon (I like to build and design things), my boyfriend is the gamer in the house. I was looking at MacIntosh Notebooks a few months ago, since we are in need of a notebook.  So they are pretty easy to use?

When I was in college Windows wasn't even around. I graduated with a degree in Parks and Recreation Management, but make more money in a factory than in my field. Now my goal is to someday go back to school for a minor in web design, although I have taught myself pretty much all I know I always want to learn more. I would like to study PHP, advanced css, and Flash although Flash is horrible for search engine optimization it is eye candy. I know some but would like to learn a whole lot more. Ivan is better at that stuff than me so I just yell at him to help me for now ;). Well gotta go for now, I'm working on putting together some more content people can add to their MyGoJasonville page.

 Woot Video...Your World. Believe It. Or Not.

MacIntosh huh? We have 5 Windows pc's and I have never really worked with Mac. Although, my sister Stacy works with Macs for graphic design, so I will let her know about your website.  I always have wanted one but figure I'd have to teach myself all over again. 

I remember serving you cherry cokes in the drugstore, or didn't you get Cherry 7ups? Well, that was years ago and my memory is fading LOL. Angie would probably remember better than me  My fave was always the chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow cokes. I do remember that. Yum!

How's Whitney and Jim? Sorry to hear about Leslie. I think I was living in Bloomington when she had her accident. We were in cheerleading together in middle school and Angie, Leslie, and me won the talent show in 7th grade. Those were the good ole days :).

Yes, you should bring your wife here. We have a lot of things happening July 12-20th for the 150th Anniversary Celebration. Fireworks, Wagon Train Trail Ride, Beard Growing Contest, Parade, and more. We hope to have all the events posted soon.

Well, we hope to keep everyone up to date on the website, but our staff has full time jobs along with running this website, so it's not always possible to get information up in a timely manner. We are hoping that this new social networking section will start some interaction and submissions so we don't have to do all the leg work. So spread the word.

If you have any suggestions feel free to contact us. Well, gotta go for now. Oh and thanks for joining.

Michelle
