I still would like to learn it, if for nothing else, I could understand it when heard. So, if it were taught anywhere, I'd be interested. Otherwi...
Thanks DL, I would have guessed that about non-islanders trying to speak it "publicly". Don't you kind of cringe when you see a white person trying to...
Well, it must be universally natural because my WASP Virginian daughter, at tree (I mean three) used to sound like a new yorker with the phrase "look ...
I figure it's got to be good for you somehow, right?... I mean, it's a powerful chemical reaction. I've never tried it to remove paint, but I wouldn't...
Nope, as long as you don't think about "eye balls" when you're eating them, Brussels sprouts are wonderful also... Sorry... couldn't help myself....
I love this stuff! Every time I visit, I love to try to figure out what the local folks are saying and how they talk to each other. When I was a ...
Oh come on... you know you will... and you'll chuckle. But I agree, it is the champagne of vegetables, isn't it... My kids love broccoli... the...
Well, I guess I should answer your question: There will be a somewhat unique scent passed on to the contents of your ballast tanks (aka "bladder" for ...
Ohhh bother!... so much for that idea... I humbly withdraw the proposal for amendment... Juanita, if you ever eat asparagus I think you'll know.....
So Cory, Want to tell us about this solar water heater program talked about on the radio today? It was difficult for me to follow, but here is what ...
Kristy, jefgar, I was going to bring up hockey, but I figured there weren't that many of us hockey fans. Damn ESPN... they won't even hardly talk...

Let me try a few possible longings.... but from someone who hasn't even moved there yet!: - 4 seasons (but mild... north carolina-ish) - skiing,...
Thanks Lizard, that helps much. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen into the trap of thinking of a "US driver's license"... duh, I just ran in...
Hi Cory, Do we know what time the shows start? Maybe it's on the web site...
I'm still trying to understand the differences: - do native islanders have US driver's licenses? They must... there's a DMV. - can they get US p...
Echogirl, I hope that I haven't chased you away. Just to make sure that I'm not chasing you away on a misunderstanding: - I'm not sure if you're ...
Sorry, I need to brush up on that history (I've read it a few times... obviously I missed a few points!) So, the locals have been bounced around from ...
echogirl, I might be wrong, but my sense tells me that you're misinterpreting and over-reacting a bit. Just to explore that notion, let's try this hyp...
Maybe this is part of a movement to get independence from US territorialism. I could imagine the "Native Virgin Islanders" not liking being a territor...
Thanks Linda, so that is more "social status"? And, why would the government be involved with that? Are they asking for the government to acknowledge ...
I'm more than a little confused by this notion of distinguishing folks based on how long they've been here, or their birth place. I mean, I understand...
