Carron, I have 3 daughters aged 22, 20, and 17. Would you mind adopting them for a few years? I know they would love Reef Madness.

I got the idea from the last JB concert tail gate party. -Bert Parrothead friend went to the recent JB concert in Atlanta. He and his wife bought some big strawberries and hollowed out the inside. Then dipped them in chocolate and let it harden. Then filled them with Grand Marnier and re-capped the...

One of my earliest memories is eating a peach at my grandparents' house in Georgia. I was maybe four years old. I told everybody that I wanted to plant the pit so I could grow my own peaches. They all said oh, it'll never grow, don't waste your time, blah blah blah. Except Paw-Paw. He took me down t...

Holy cow what a miserable group of women. I wish they had fallen overboard and were never heard from again.

There has GOT to be a better way than this, but what I did one time was hit Print Screen and then paste it into a Word document.

I feel certain that somebody will tell you the real way, but just in case they don't use that as a backup.

I think this is a new business on the island, Island Baby. http://islandbabyvi.com/ It looks like strictly an equipment rental place, though. When our kids were little I don't think we would have considered a St. John vacation with them but we did do Florida trips at least once a year in the car. I ...

Thanks, Ted. Very cool. I would love to go off the grid personally. $85k for 8kW is expensive, but if this country could ever get off the need for fossil fuel it would free up all kinds of money (not just the cost of the fuel, but military spending in the middle east and elsewhere) that could be use...

I live in a off-grid solar powered home in the states, that collect all of the rain water! I know how to conserve! Just trying to enjoy the pool ! Ted Ted, I would have thought that would be difficult to do in Asheville. Can you give me some detail? What type of solar system do you have? Manufactur...

LOL. I just gave up an hour of otherwise billable time to read this thread. Worth it! The original college kid comment did kind of resonate with me. My wife and I spent one night of our last trip there going from the Beach Bar to High Tide to Morgan's Mango and ended up at Woody's. Had a blast, and ...

Thanks for the well wishes for my daughter, everyone. And with all the stuff that was going on with her we had basically no time to worry about planning. I handled the plane tickets and got a place to stay, but other than that we threw some shorts, tshirts, bathing suits, and sunscreen in a suitcase...

First trip was a whirlwind. December '08, then 20-year old daughter's leukemia relapsed. Tried a couple of things that didn't help. January '09, they found an unrelated bone marrow donor to do a second bone marrow transplant. Scheduled the transplant for February. They told my wife and I privately t...

And just today I got an email from Delta saying that if you have the AMEX skymiles card the first checked bag for you and everyone in your party is free.

If I remember correctly that doesn't go into effect until June 1 though. Check me on that.
