Hello everyone

I was 2 years older than you are now when I did that 21 years ago. Only difference was, I came as a widow of 5 years wanting to start anew. I met my current husband here and have never looked back. I'm on St. Croix and love it here!

welcome and i hope you find what you are looking for.

if you have questions , please ask. do a lot of reading on this forum.

Thanks for response. I have been reading a ton for the last few months. As long as the rats, cockroaches, and centipedes don't take much room... well sleep well together. Any advice you have is GREATLY appreciated. Just pm me. Thanks and much love. Dan

i hear if you get bit by a stinging thing like a centipede, rub it with a freshly cut onion.

Rub it with an onion, then what? Bake it or salute it?
Only kidding!;-)

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, and I'm 60. Life here is glorious, warts and all. Read all the forums, sounds like you've made a good start. Read the VI Consortium and the Source. If you are on Facebook check out the group What's Going on St. Thomas. Welcome!

i would saute it in butter

Spray the area with WD40...takes the sting away immediately.

Have you tried that, personally?

interesting, never heard this one

alana, if you are asking me-no. a girl at work did and said it worked

Wow, you are brave!

Wishing you all the best!

I may be moving to St. Croix in the next couple months (am waiting on the official job offer).

You give me strength to be brave (moving is hard enough; moving across the water is scary).

I hope to me you there one day 🙂

"I'll regret not trying the rest of my life if I don't attempt this."

This is probably the biggest reason many of us end up here. 😉

Have you tried that, personally?

Yes...many times. It works with fire ant, wasps, centipedes and the like.

I keep a spray can of WD40 by the back door in case of emergencies.

Good to know.
Never heard of that previously.

Bless this message board. I've gotten emails from some great folks. Please continue.... I have a lot of questions.. banks, bills. Etc. I will see you soon... I will plan a trip later this year to come down. Let's meet up... you'll love me lol, most do... I'm GREAT fun and understand life finally at 41. Wishing you well, love you guys...

Welcome! I'm doing the same exact thing. I'm 37 and just ended my loveless marriage as well. I'm staying with my mom for a year to save up some money and move to my dream place the US Virgin Islands! I'm just looking to meet some new friends on here over the next year while I prepare to move. I hope we both find our happiness here 🙂

This gives me great hope that I can still have a wonderful life and start over after my divorce!

My decision to move had an element of that in it.
