A PMV is a good idea – people tell me. We moved here a year ago (our anniversary was last Thursday) without ever having been to the Caribbean before, ...

Like Blackbeard's Ale. Dislike the fact that people here think Coors Lite is beer.

Live on stx so I couldn't tell you the best place to live on stt. But yes, you need a physical address to get a P.O. box.

Stx is marginally more rural, slower paced. Less expensive. Stt has better employment opportunities. Way more traffic. Higher prices. Don't get me wro...

Yeah, I finally got someone on the phone at Extension and he confirmed that. For some reason UVI's Web site events calendar has it on stt, but that's ...

Thanks, Charlie. I look forward to it. Just let me know when and where. jb

I used to be editor of he Growing Edge magazine. Check out the Web site at growingedge.com. Hydroponics is a lot simpler than it was, there are a LOT ...

Paradyne makes Zhone – or Zhone makes Paradyne, hard to say which. Anyway, my modem says Zhone and the instructions say Paradyne, so we're talking app...

We moved here from the mainland two months ago and, while we absolutely love it here, agree those are the three big issues. Schools – private are...

Thanks to those who contacted me. I've got someone on the story, but I'm always interested in hearing from freelancers with a story to tell about hydr...

Great! Thanks. I'll definitely follow up on the UVI info. If anyone knows the name of someone who's doing hydroponics as either hobby or commerci...

For perspective, a LOT of people have longer commutes than that, and they're stuck on the freeway in Los Angeles or Chicago or some such place. At lea...

We're planning to bring very little – at least for those first six months. All our furnuture is crap anyway. Then when we get more settled we plan to ...

"Bull and Bread Day?" Sounds intriguing. Tell me more! Hurricane Supplication Day is obvious, as is VI-Puerto Rico Friendship Day. But Bull and Bread ...

If you're looking for a lighthearted read with a Caribbean flavor, may I recommend "Pirates of Pensacola" by Keith Thomson? Funniest novel I've ever r...

I just finished reading the online news story. Thought the writer did a great job making me feel as if I were there. We spent the Fourth on the grass ...

That's funny. I thought the problem on island was really, really BIG bugs.

I'll be interested in the response – one of our daughters has decided to leave the U of Oregon and get a nursing degree at UVI. Any thoughts?

I was terribly disappointed. Lots of spectacular effects, but the story as a hopeless muddled mess. Not so much a pirate movie as a monster movie in w...

Spectacular CGI effects, but the story was muddled and the characters had to step aside for all the effects. The sequel is never as good as the oriina...

Currently Oregon. Looking to be on stx as soon as possible – which is to say, pretty much as soon as I can sell the house.

Sounds like garden perfection! I'm assuming with a series of pots you could rotate them and have fresh tomatoes practically year round? Wow. Here...

Forgot to mention – wse're looking to move to stx. So growing tomatoes on stx would be the question.

I was able to connect to isle95.com/listenlive.htm, although it wasn't as straightforward as it should have been. I assume you have Windows Media Play...

Thank you Mell and Doug – We are planning our move to stx this summer and reading this post was kind of depressing me. You helped put things in perspe...
