Not just in California. There are "dead zones" just off the Gulf Coast and areas off New England where a lack of oxygen in the water where nothing liv...

If you are going to eat honey, make sure it is from a local source. Recent studies of processed honey (the kind in the cute little bears) shows that m...

Reality check: Oh, they can figure out how to do it, just not how to pay for it. The average American uses approximately .61-1.25 gallons of crude oil...

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Don't forget plastic grocery bags, plastic water/food bottles, and garbage in general. Also, runoff from fertilizers and animal poop.

There are a whole lot of really bad things that can happen before mass extinction, some of which would probably make us wish for mass extinction. Seem...

The President just signed a bipartisan bill into law that bans the manufacture and sale of microbeads in the US. Other countries have already banned t...

I'm not going to debate about the reality of climate change, global warming, or any other label being placed on the current and projected changes affe...

What about removing the mold/mildew smell from inside cabinets and drawers. No sign of the mold/mildew any more, but the smell will NOT go away. I've ...

Wishing everyone a joyous New Year, wherever you are.

Amen to that. Perhaps you should take a look at some of the news reports and footage of the island after Hugo or Marilyn. It doesn't take a meltdown i...

Southwest now flies into PR, so, depending on where you are, you might get a better rate by flying to PR then Seaborne over to STX or STT.

Beware! Apple will not ship to the island and even Amazon won't ship Apple products, not even a USB cable.

Wondered about that. We heard/saw that one too. Definitely below the 500 ft minimums for most aircraft.

This may be too late to matter, but here are my two cents worth. I would recommend at least one trip without the children. If they are with you, you m...

No, near Tipperary. I wonder how the people who own these dogs, especially the little yappy ones, can sleep at night, not to mention the 6 am wake-up ...

We have been really happy with Judi's at Croix ([urlMuch less expensive than at the airport and they will meet you there. Dennis is great to work with...

He got in Sunday morning. His chopper flew LOW over our house about 9 am. Quite a wake up call :-X

If you haven't already done so, check out topics "Moving to the States" and "why did you leave" for a good look at island living.

Would you mind telling me what state you shipped to and how much it cost? Thanks.

Thanks, OT. My husband didn't want to rent, so we bought after several short visits (are you listening, Rambo?). Looks like it is going to cost us abo...

Prices here on the island (and we are pretty frugal) Gas - now $2.69 on STX Electricity - 39.19 cents per kWh Auto Insurance - about the same...

We shipped with VI Cargo and highly recommend them. We took our household goods in a UHaul to their dock in Miami and they unloaded, pallitized, and l...

You are NOT a grinch! We bought a lovely home on the East Side of STX and haven't slept a full night because of dogs barking and loud music since we g...

Hi Rambo - As a relatively new island resident and one who will be returning to the states as soon as possible, I'm fairly well qualified to tell you ...
