@statesidechange, the original post was criticizing Craigslist posters, not posters on this message board. Two different animals entirely. Of course...

It seems like you both are upset that people who live in the islands already aren't doing things the way you want to make your life easier. You will ...

I would love if the people posting apt. rentals on Craigslist would use the letters STT, STJ, or STX more often. It is a bit of a nuisance being at th...

You've got some good info here that should help you understand the situation and decide what's right for you. A lot depends on having a good landlord...

Well, that's a good sign!! Thanks for the update, Pia.

I'm sure they are, but we don't have 4G/LTE on St John yet.

Sloop/Pia, has your service improved at all? I'm still hearing from friends who aren't getting calls or text messages with any reliability....

Way back when I left for my 1st winter in PR, I was way short of both $$ & knowledge. The place I found was a bit of a disappointment because I was 20...

I too prefer to buy local eggs, too, but be sure to compare the size of them to figure out what you're really paying. My experience is that they are ...

I try to take heart that at least some arrests are happening. They got another one yesterday:

Sorry to be unclear; I meant the archives of the message board. In particular, I would suggest searching for a topic that you're wondering about (mak...
