I am glad this was brought back up. I feel the same way and everytime I am in JA and something happens I smile and say its a part of life. Funny I was talking to my honey about moving there and he says hes worried I will get homesick and be miserable! I said shoot I am miserable and homesick here!!!! People who argue against it just dont find that life for them. They think JA is just a vacation, but to me its part of who I am and has been for a long time.
Heres to JA and those ETJers who love it same way!!
