Coming from a cold Northeast state myself, I can fully understand your desire to live in a warmer environment. Life here is very different than it is...

One can only hope he'd looked at the success Colorado has had with legal marijuana while he was there.....

"Surprised you decided to retire. Good luck, let us know how it goes!" Thanks Alana, I remember meeting you. I'll PM you. As to the ret...

Thank you for this post. For some reason I never thought about probate here. My will is in MA, but I'm now a VI resident. Given me a whole lot to t...

Gumbo, I agree, I just spent 2 months stateside, but I really missed the VI. Saying Good morning to people caused them to look at me like I had 2 hea...

That's wonderful news. Thank you for all your efforts. I'm sure these pups will find nice forever homes stateside.

Alana, Thanks so much for the excellent summation. I just retired, and effectively cut my income in half. Looking to downsize and stay on island, bu...

Looking at the glass half full, at least as a MA resident, you can get your tax refund. Seriously though, try your WAPA bill or VI car registration....

Bring on the vigilantes. I'm behind you 100%. Fifth drive by in 3 days. This morning by Nisky stoplight. Some idiot fired at a pedestrian, AK-47, ...

A bit of background-I'm on STT, and live alone. Don't use AC, as I'm on Crown Mountain, and the breeze cools everything down. My WAPA ranges fro...

I've stopped in a few times. Pleased with how clean and bright and open it is. Parking is a snap. Service has been excellent. They are still stock...

I've had good luck with FEP Blue here, although it's difficult locating preferred providers. And there are no approved dentists.

Nugblazer, "OP, if you're still here after five years, then I'll commend you as you will be one of the very few who made it through to the other side....

I voted, and voted for her. Primarily because she was with the minority and for legalization of marijuana. Time will tell. Now to sit back and see ...

couchsurfing.com I've hosted several folks through this and have really enjoyed having the visitors. It's free.

Anyone know if this actually started today?

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. I'm a tall ship affectionado, my Dad has made ships in bottles all my life so raised with a love for them. ...

My Danish Couchsurfing houseguest was crew on the Danmark a few years ago, and his sister is on it now. Supposedly they are moving tomorrow morning f...

The Danmark is on it's way into Crown Harbor now. Expected to arrive around 11. Binoculars out and viewing from my porch! Full sail, looking great.

I am so jealous. First basics, I had to get my internatioal driver's licence for last year's trip to Italy. I was still stateside, so got it at AAA....

Thanks for the BMV tip. I have to get my VI license tomorrow. On STT, but I bet it's similar. I'll head over about 9:45. Will let you know how it ...

Shhhhhh, Don't tell Mapp or the Senate, or they'll be increasing all those fees too.

I'm with Alana on this one. The full service is worth the extra money. Think about what you may need here, and what you can live without. Leather d...

I moved here last May, and it's been amazing. You sound like you've got the right attitude and a sense of humor, which is always helpful. I'm on STT...
