Holy cow, I feel like I have been cramming all night for a semester final in biology. I discovered the site just a day ago and have been booking it since then. It is like a good book you can't seem to put down. I don't even like to read that much either.)

I have put my mandated 10+ hours in reading different threads and I thought why not my first post be in the biggest thread going? I don't even know that I'm qualified to be able to post, I'm so ignorant compared to you ff pro's.

I have PM'd a couple members and would like to discuss (thru pm or chat) what us newbies all want to know. That is to answer our questions about what we think we know. I'm a special education teacher and work with kids who disabled, so I know about reading disabilities. I just never thought I had one until now). I have and will continue to research threads in trying to formulate my own knowledge, but it would be great to ask some vets if I'm on the right track ect.

Please PM me if you want the unenviable task of helping a rookie with some guidance. I'm from Chicago, went to University of Iowa, lived in So Cal for 10 years and just this past year relocated to the Middle East. I'm a huge Bear, Cub, UCLA fan.

I hope I have appealed to someone's favorite team or local.)

God bless,
Jeff
