Frankly, I don't understand why you're being jumped on, Christie. All you asked was what you could do to help. Personally, I think that's terrific. ...

Good suggestions plus you can join the Humane Society as well. Or donate items to the shelters' Flea Market/Thrift shops.

I'll say that's a great package! A friend of mine from TX has his mother send him Velveeta (really pricey here) along with other TX goodies he misses.

Once again, I'm agreeing with Mell. I'd hate living on STJ or STX as much as the people who live there would hate STT. I enjoy visiting both those p...

I doubt it's a law that you have to take a private taxi with a pet but who knows? Does sound like a nice little scam because lots of times drivers do...

It's much better now than it was in the past thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Still a long way to go, though. You're not going to h...

If you weren't a bit eccentric, you wouldn't fit in. 🙂 It's pretty rough for a travel agent to make a living in most places, isn't it? Lots of lo...

That's for sure!

Check out Ronnie's place Villa Fairview on St. Thomas (Ronnie posts here.) If you're a US citizen you have no problem working legally here. ...

When are you coming down, Jeniffer?

Christie, glad you came up with an idea to help the animals. Could you contact the STT Humane Society or the Animal Shelter on STX & give them the id...

Getting used to saying "Good morning" even when entering a doctor's waiting room. Working harder than I ever had anywhere in the States. Getting use...

The cafeteria at RLS on STT is quite good also. Lots of outsiders go there for lunch.

Join the Humane Society & let your representatives know your thoughts on the issue. Support early education about animals. Report the cruelty you se...

Marty, have you called Mr. LeBron to help get your business license? He can work miracles & was worth it when I used him several years ago.

August is the start of the slowest part of the year as far as tourism goes. It's busier in May than August but still slower than the height of the se...

Well state, Mell.

I did it & that was years ago. If you're the type who likes your own company it should not be a problem if you can adapt to island living. Just use ...

Be sure & check this with your tax person but I had rental property in the States while I was living here. i was allowed to write off my plane fare o...

He wasn't asking for welfare. Tourists are always looking for "deals, discounts, freebies" and this poster was just trying to be frugal. It's up to...

Of course it can depending on if you have kids to feed/educate or tons of debt to pay off. Most who live here aren't eating out every night or island...

And don't forget school tuition & the cost of the ferry rides back & forth on top of very high rents. It's much easier to be broke in the States than...

Define "reasonable."

How long have they been there? On 3 occasions, I've had private mail places lock their doors with no warning whatsoever so there was no opportunity t...

I think what you said was spot on. It's not my experience but I didn't have children to educate here & wouldn't still be here if I did. It's really ...
