Sorry I haven't posted in a bazillion years, but..... Can anyone who travels frequently to Santiago tell me which is the cheapest city/airline east of the Mississippi River to fly out of direct to Santiago. I live for the moment in Knoxville, Tennessee and can drive to Detroit as easily as to...

The poster formerly known as St Louis Mike has a WORKING computer in his ramshackle "studio apartment" in east tennessee. Who came up with that term: studio? Most peoples' garages are bigger than this place. I mean dominican garages. For two months, I lived in a motel and had to go to Kinko's...

The poster formerly known as St Louis Mike is back. What a f***in' awful year was 2004. Unemployed 7 and half months. Two "long term" contracts terminated on a couple days notice. I didn't enjoy the time off or anything. I was miserable. But the worm have turned, finally. Got a nice job here in...

A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. While playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, "Grandma, how come you don't have a boyfriend?" Grandma replied, "Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day...

If you take one of those new hundred-dollar bills (not the old kind, that won't work at all) and fold it just the right way--the two ends across the middle at a little less than half-way, then make a "V" out of what's left at the top and fold them under, now turn it over. What do you see? Yup...

Probably couldn't be a more inappropriate time to post this question, what with the government (such as it is) of Haiti on the verge of collapse, but, you know me, the master of bad timing :) So I'm taking merengue dance lessons and I'm gettin pretty good, especially since it's kind of a...

An American, a Mexican and an Iraqi are in a bar one night having a beer. The Mexican drinks his beer and suddenly throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. He says "In Mexico our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice." The...

HB's computer is a little messed up so I can't post a reply to the one thread that I already started. All I can do is make a new thread. Anyway, I'm here. I've had my first Presidente in almost a year and toasted our friend Jan with it, as she has had a rather bad run of it lately. [see you...

OK, that was a deliberate attempt to get your attention with hyperbole and double entendre and I am profoundly ashamed for having stooped so low (although my aim is to stoop much, much lower in the next two weeks). I will be in the DR from Nov 17 until Dec 1 and my number one objective is to...

Would anybody be willing to declare which of the "bargain" or general internet airfare sites is consistently better than the others for fares to the DR? Is it Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, Expedia, or something else? I can spend 2-3 hours looking for the best fare from the general midwest region...

"Well, Mrs. O'Connor, so you want a divorce?" the solicitor questioned his client. "Tell me about it. Do you have a grudge?" "Oh, no," replied Mrs. O'Connor. "Sure now, we have a carport." The solicitor tried again. "Well, does the man beat you up?" "No, no," said Mrs. O'Connor, looking...

Era una mujer que ten?a muchos hijos y todos llevaban el mismo nombre. La madre va a sacarle el pasaporte a todos ellos, y el joven que los atiende le pregunta: ?C?mo se llaman sus hijos? Y ella le dice: Todos se llaman Bernardo. El joven asombrado le pregunta: Se?ora, c?mo hace usted, por...

Photos of me are now in the Media Gallery. I swear, I've become a regular exhibitionist since I found this website. Never, ever, have I tooted my own horn so much over so little. I'll blaim it on senility as I return to lurk mode (except for Friday night chat when I'm stuck in night school). st...

I was listening to Olga Ta?on's CD 'Yo por ti' the other night (at top volume while driving around counting the days until Nov 17) and on the title track, there is a musical intro that just really caught my ear. It slayed me. It's the best intro to a merengue tune I ever heard--the best seven...

I?m sure there are many fine organizations helping the impoverished children of the world but the only one I?m familiar with is Children International (www.children.org). I got started with them about 18 years ago when it was called Holy Land Christian Mission International. At that time it was...

A man is having problems with his ?member? which certainly had seen better days. He consults a doctor who, after a couple of tests, says, "Sorry, but you've overdone it the last 30 years. You?ve simply overused it. It?s burned out. You got about 30 erections left." The man walks home (deeply...
