I just read a book called Turning Tables by Heather and Rose MacDowell. It's a little on the light side, an easy read. If you have ever worked in a r...

Making me homesick....good ole North Carolina sweet tea!!! I was actually thinking about doing some NC BBQ for July 4th. Hmmmm... You guys (on islan...

I won't be there, since I'm a Crucian now8-), but if you go earlier in the day for brunch, you can take advantage of the bottomless bloody marys and m...

I have AT&T on St. Croix. I sometimes get messages a week late, even though I am using the phone just fine on a daily basis. Where do they go????

Chicken Charlie's - MLS # 09-156. Smokey's the gas station/roti stand/store is also for sale, and it is under contract.

Thanks everyone. Lots of places online, but I need them tomorrow! I guess it's time to "island improvise". I'll just really tuck in queen size unti...

I used Hotwire on my recent trip to the states. I was really impressed. I had originally made a car rental resv. at something like $247 for the week...

Where will your husband be teaching? That may determine what part of the island is best for you.

My first waitress job on STT paid $25 shift pay per day, didn't matter how long the shift was. We wrote out a petty cash slip at the end of the shift...

saucey, I totally agree with you in theory. I'm just saying this is one of those things you have to figure out for yourself, find your own solution...

I've been here 14 years, and I can count on less than one hand the times I have encountered bugs in any pasta or other grain. Admittedly, I am not a ...

I had never heard of Schwans. I checked out the website. IMHO.. no way on STX. I thought the stateside prices were already a bit high. By the time...

Charlotte Amalie isn't all that big, but still there are a few places that would be better than others. If you want to be more specific about the loc...

Gosh no. No offense. My hint of sarcasm was directed at WAPA, not you. I have 17 meters, and we read them every month. We try to do it on the same...

Yes, we can (and do) read our meters. Then what? You think they are going to give me a credit?

That means we will all get low bills this coming month because they will estimate the bills on the low side. When the rate goes up next month, guess ...

I like some of the expressions. I don't like the ones that are obviously incorrect grammer or derogatory, but some are just cute. I have been teachi...

You guys are touched, alright!:@) Seriously, there is a Universalist Unitarian Church on St. Croix. I'm not a member and don't know much about i...

Cheeseheads, I am so with you on the driving thing. I'm in the states right now. Picked up a rental at Miami airport and headed north on I-95. OMG...

The IHOP at Tutu on STT never made any sense to me. Sunny Isle doesn't either. I'm sure they will be required to stay open 24 hours for franchise re...

Linda, Alix was not part of the car accident couple. I think their names are Jeff and Michelle. I see Alix's posts on facebook sometimes. She and...

Hi Marlene, Do you know the name of the boat?

I often hear it when local ladies are just shopping and comparing products in the store, like if something is more expensive, out of date, or they're ...

We lived aboard for 10 years, and everytime I told someone "back home", like at my class reunion, that I lived on a sailboat in the Caribbean, well......
