USVI-On-Line

I am in the unique position of being someone who meets forum lurkers all the time. I have to say, it amuses me to see how many people read read read everything and don't post, but are right here with us!

This week's lurker highlights:
1) Thursday mornings we often get a big delivery of our cargo shipment which is delivered to the sidewalk downstairs. We then have to carry it up, whether it's 67 boxes or 13 boxes. Up they go. This week, a man and his family were heading up as Ron and I were lugging boxes and he just grabbed one and carried it up. Later he confessed he was a lurker. Some of you will be pleased to know that I gave him many thanks and a free bag of Cruz Bay Grill Rub. I did NOT offer him five dollars. Lesson learned.

2) Today I chatted with a nice lurker lady and her husband (I simply cannot remember their names) and then a little later she was carrying around a box of Coconut Patties. She stopped me and said "Are these the ones someone on the forum said were so good?"

It's pretty fun to see how people remember the details of what they've read here.

Ruth...That five dollar story still makes me laugh and laugh. It's a lot better than what I would have offered Oh, I am sooooo bad!!!

XOXO
Bug

Ruth, that's great! I actually ran into lurkers on my trip, too. (Yes, believe it or not, I left things out of the trip report.)

They were from Texas and said they were so happy to have found the forum so they knew which bug spray to buy and to learn about the Neat Sheet- LOL!

I'm such a serious lurker that I forgot my screen name. I'm so serious !!! I have been reading the forum for almost two years now. This will be my second trip to St. John and my vacation starts this Saturday for 12 days. I'd like to say that I'm excited but I'm never excited until I'm there. Preparations to get there always puts me over the edge.

I have a herd of pets to be taken care of. Missing from the picture is two extra cats and a parrot.



I also have LOTS of potted plants that need tending.



Lets not forget the gardens...By the time I get to St. John I'm exhausted.



Oh- and the pool..... Someone pour me a drink because I sure as hell need it right about now.....

Thanks! I'm such a garden geek that it's almost sad. LOL

p.s. use to live in Ca and LOVE Sunset magazine and their books.

Gardengal, what kind of parrot do you have? i have a blue front amazon and a blue and gold macaw.

Kirk I have a Yellow Nape amazon that I've had for 17 years.

Gardengal, great looking garden. Someday I will post pix of my lovely garden........cement. And I even have a gardener, who'd never be able to keep up with something like that.

Nice....

Hey Gardengal - GORGEOUS yard!! That's something you would see in Better Homes and Gardens! Welcome to the forum and have a WONDERFUL trip!

PS - I live in Jersey....grew up going to LBI every weekend and still do - straight through your neighborhood!

I've been lurking (and posting very occasionally) since 2002. Guess that also makes me an "old timer."
