   napalmer927 replied to robins7's topic in Travel

   I visited St Croix this past January, and running out of seemingly everyday things seems to be a facet of island life in general. One guy I talked to made a point of saying that you had to be ok with...

10. Does this sound fishy?

    napalmer927 replied to RNPB10's topic in Travel

    It sounds like she's trying to pull something over on you. Like there's something in the contract that she knows you won't like or won't agree to, so if you're already invested in the job, i.e. a...
