Agree re clothing for interviews/applications. Will add - be casual, but cover up. No flipflops, short shorts (even nice, longer shorts are ok for m...

To be more clear, originally, Castro got his guns from us -- as did Saddam.

No, originally Castro had US support in his fight to overthrow Baptista (sp?). It was only afterwards that he became our enemy. The exact same thing...

No, sorry I was not clear. I was guestimating for BOTH kids.

To many, if not most, people relocating to the USVI, private school is a necessity. Others will say not so. It is best to come down and check it out...

Hope you find her.

I always thought it was Appalachia - poor, very insular and suspicious of strangers. But the beaches on STX are a lot better!

If you're lliving near the bypass - well, I don't know how you do it, the dust must be unbearable!!

Lou, do you live in the USVI? I ask the question because your posts are so odd. No general information, restaurant suggestion, or any other island "...

I think I noticed the dust more because our life on STX was very "open air". We had no A/C. Our windows were open 24/7 unless wind or storms dictate...

I never hated living on STX. I always liked our life here. We found interesting jobs and friends. I did love the beach. Ric loved it from the day ...

Funny about the greetings. Ric and I have been back in the states for 7 months and we still confuse people by greeting them before stating our busine...

Please consider your move very carefully. You should come for a PMV and check out the options for your grandfather. IMO FWIW - this is a very bad ide...

I, too have friends working in the public school. They find it challenging and sometimes rewarding, but I've never heard them say that they LOVE it.

I was on STX during one hurricane and two tropical storms 2003 - 2012. In all three cases power was turned off, island-wide, as soon as the wind hit ...

Susan56 - you started posting before you came to STX, posted while you were here and are now back in the states. It's obvious from your posts that ST...

Sounds good, but experience is that when a big storm comes, the power goes, all at once, all over the island.

Regarding power. I don't know if this is the case now, but usually WAPA turns off the power just before a hurricane or TS hits. This prevents live p...

Would anyone understand if I said that I was glad I'm not on island - and I'm sorry I'm not on island?

We planned our flight to be the shortest possible time. Total in-carrier time was about 11 hours. The vet said our cat probably wouldn't go and she ...

And, they pay interest during the wait.

I strongly recommend N to The Blue. They will arrange for you to do your bookwork on-line prior to arriving, Oops, are you coming to STX?

We brought our cat as carry on - AA - from STX to Kentucky in January and they asked for and inspected our health certificate.

Overreaction??!!

If he was a federal employee whoever shot him is in a heap o' trouble.
