I looked at that, thank you. I think it's using classes as a way to show and hide w/out repeating all the selectors? Is that a general idea there? Or are you saying don't ask those kind of questions on this forum...

No, i just merely linked you a similar topic example, that you may be able to change in some way to adapt it to your own situation. I haven't done enough JQuery to say what is the right way and what is wrong when it comes to your problem.
