Stable's Campground

Adam, Sorry to hear about the problem your friends had staying at the Township campground . Next year maybe you should have them stay at the Stable's Campground here in Port of St. James where only PSJA members (and guests) are allowed to camp. It might offer a bit more privacy and quiet than the to...

hello

We used to get analog TV signals, but with the switch to digital, we don't get enough of a signal to bother with now. But, since we have island-wide 10 meg highspeed now, we watch all TV and news online now. We gave up regular TV and now we watch what we want, when we want. :) We live in PSJA, north...

Grats Tina!

Hey Tina,
Congrats on the new business! You're perfect for it. :)
Do you do paid consultations as well? If someone wants to do their own party, but they need help finding items or planning things? Just curious.
Good luck with it!

Yahoo or Hotmail or AOL account hacked?

Several more islanders have recently had their yahoo or hotmail accounts hacked into and stolen, along with their online address books. I searched on Google for "email yahoo hotmail hacked", and received about 1,770,000 results. There are literally hundreds of thousands of online accounts ...

I'll third that idea. Thanks for all your help, Chad! And for the TDS involvement in our small island! So far, the service has been great! The other day (a very windy day) the service was down for about 2 hours. This is the first time it has been down all winter. I called it in at 5:30 am. By 7:30 a...

How many year-rounders?

Chad, Thanks again for your quick responses to my questions. Maybe we can get people to post a reply here on this topic and help accumulate some numbers for you.

I called the main office and ran through the process with them. They can't figure it out remotely and are sending me a new modem, just in case. But...
