How did you get one of the renovated rooms? Did you just ask when you checked in, or did you have to plan in advance?

Rabies bad, vaccination good. Got it. But why is giving the vaccination more often than necessary required? The prevalence of an infection in a partic...

I've never understood the part about the rabies vaccine. Maybe I'm reading/interpreting it wrong. Rabies vaccinations are only recommended every 2-3 y...

Seems like most people who are actually qualified for a job in the political arena want nothing to do with it, and I can't blame them.

I'm assuming that's the same Joli who used to do my hair at Monique's out east. Did she change salons, or does she have two jobs now? If it's the same...

OMG. Dying here. 🙂

I agree with the above -- the longer the better if you haven't been to the VI before, and make sure you don't stay at a fancy hotel, but try to live t...

So the solution is never to become friendly with anyone? Or only to make friends with those who have been there longer than you? Even then, there's no...

Good advice above. When I lived there, there were weeks when I didn't go to the beach at all, even though I lived on the beach. (I tried to make ...

Great story and photo! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I love Rowdy Joe's, too. I'm hoping this is just an employee who acts like she owns the place. Please try to speak with the actual owner (if it's not ...

Ooh, I wish I'd known about this last year!! Has anyone gotten a 2010 refund lately? Still waiting for mine.

Thanks for your help! Now I have some research to do! 🙂

even the security lady sitting in the lobby actually woke up to smile Wait. No. WHUT? THIS is the standard now? If the security guard WAKES U...

I suspect that RN to patient ratios have changed significantly (nationwide, that is), so that an RN no longer has time to do everything for every pati...

Montana is GORGEOUS. I have relatives there. I've only been in the summer, though. 🙂

Nobody is going to kill you for simply walking down the street. This is not Detroit. Maybe not, but they might rob you at gunpoint. Which is s...

"We don't have any control over the murders that are committed, we have the responsibility to solve them." I beg to differ. I think that if the p...

A business like yours is BADLY needed on STX. There is no inpatient hospice, and there is only one "home for the aged" (as the sign says). Famili...

There's a lime green house on the north shore that was for rent and/or for sale a while ago. It's squeezed onto a narrow lot between the road and the ...
