Does anyone have info about this long distance call card? It might also be called "Tag". The advertised rates are super cheap (.08 Cdn/min ?), but the results are disappointing. What are the conditions? Does one need to use the local Canadian access number instead of the US available toll free...

Far too often, from out of nowhere, we see swipes taken at the US, even on this board. When challenged (seldomly, unfortunately) the poster is likely to take the irresponsible attitude of a little kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar, even try to claim victim status himself by saying...

Not likely - he doesn't need to. Did anyone see the beautiful young thing that unfurled a giant banner reading, "Marry Me Tuna" during last night's game? Is there hope for American women after all?

Yesterday a report was issued ranking various countries in the world according to competitiveness and the winner was - suspense, suspense - Finland. The US was second. How can it be that a country with half the population of the DR, whose old people were born into Czarist Russia (very poor)...

Just to show that I have a British sense of "humour", here's a few jokes so corny that even they can appreciate them (probably wrote them). By the way, I prefer Irish jokes myself. For those who don't know, their humor is basically CC's lifestyle in joke form - political correctness be damned...

Bdaric, in response to your questions as to how water collection in the DR compares to that in Bermuda, I decided to start a new thread. Yes, there are some fairly good sized streams in the DR, and some of them are even called rivers. Untreated water from those rivers is the main, and sometimes...

greatly enriched the lives of some expats in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, including me especially. I was lucky enough to attend one of his more memorable concerts. Johnny Cash was a great singer and a great man. He will be missed.

Air Force One arrives at Heathrow and President Bush strides to a warm and dignified handshake from the Queen. They ride in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they board a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to 6 magnificent white horses. They ride towards Buckingham...

Which went out on a limb and predicted that the peso would drop to 41 by next year. So stop worrying everyone.

Lately I've been getting unacceptable results with Dialpad - many "misfires" while still being charged, and very poor quality when finally connected. I see that another such service, Iconnecthere (Deltathree), has apparently raised its rates to about 21 cents/minute, but perhaps without being...

The day finally arrives: Forrest Gump dies and goes to the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you though that the place is filling up fast, and we've been administering an entrance...

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too. When you're a girl...

KILLER BISCUITS WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (the actual AP headline) Linda _______, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes...

from the news summary must have been determined with a Dominican calculator. It's a good thing that the peso hasn't dropped to 33.66, or the savings of Dominicans would have been wiped out completely in the last year, with a 100 percent loss. For those who have held pesos since they were equal...

Fourteen !!!! What, no laughter? Twenty_seven !!!! Still no laughter? Eighteen !!!! [silence] Oh well, I guess some can tell 'em and some can't. Not a single chuckle at the French history in Jazzcom's thread? I'll rebut it anyway in another thread when I get around to it, just to be fair.

Lately there have been discussions concerning the slippage (loss) in the use of ATM cards versus what one could get with cash. Since this hits us all (most, at least) right in the pocketbook, I'd like to take a survey to find out for all of us just how big a problem it is. If you are...

A Dominican lady approaches her Dominican priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female Dominican parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say?" the priest inquired. "They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're hookers. Want to have some fun?' " "That's...

Apparently yesterday's thread about the possibility of war got deleted. Before contributing to it, I had intentionally waited a couple of hours to ensure that it would survive. I have seen no explanation nor further reference to it. Is that the way it works?

Has anyone recently had experience hand carrying computer parts (cards) & media, cd's, etc. lately?
