<<<If I come back from my rhumrunning over the next couple of weeks and this charity has received seven thousand dollars or more, then I shall return to active posting.
If not, then I shall continue here in my rhum/wine/moonshine stupor that suits me and those around me so well.>>>

Fred,
LOL! You know you want to join us in all this fun. Who knows? Heavan forbid, you might be the one dialing "18" on St. Barth in the middle of the night. :-)

Thanks, JEK, I printed it off to read. Tim, could you send me that link on dress?
Ashley,
Wow, finding one particular post out of hundreds from IV on the subject of women's clothing is quite a task, especially since he's the king of the sharks when it comes to changing topics. LOL! I regret that I couldn't put my finger on the exact one I remembered, but you can search under his name on the topic of "clothing" and find more discussion than you ever want on the topic. Here's one that I came across on for whom women dress -
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would any woman want a man's view- not her husband or boyfriend- of what to wear anywhere or anytime?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the customer is often right. A woman dresses for one of four people:
1. Her husband. For him, nekkid will be just fine.
2. For herself: In which case, she does not bother to ask anyone else's opinion.
3. Other women: In this case, go to Milan and get a designer to do you up right so you can show the other ladies who the Alpha Tourist Babe is.
4. Other men: Remarkably enough, many women consider it a compliment if other men notice how they look. I have a habit of telling our local lady friends when they look particularly nice. Everyone in town knows I do it as I usually do it in front of my wife and our friends' husbands. They light up like Christmas trees at a compliment. And the husbands are always proud that someone noticed their lovely wives.
Any woman can dress for anyone she chooses. But beware, if you happen to look particularly nice (and a smile goes a LONG way) I may compliment you for it.
Sorry, that's how I am.

Thanks, Tim! I read IV's 1M-word trip report. Think if you combine his w/ Watergirl's (a true foodie-gourmet), that'd be one stellar report!

That's right folks. We've received pledges that have brought our pledge total up to $6,500. Only $500 more is needed to purchase all the equipment on the list for the St. Barth Fire/Rescue Service (and bring back da man, IV). Remember, no pledge is too small or too large. Private message KevinS, JEK, Island Visitor, Kara Brooks, or Tim with the amount of your pledge and to receive mailing instructions for the check. Thank you again to all those who've shown their support to the Friends of SBH.
P.S. Replying to my own post is something I learned from IV.

Honestly, I already donate to the Red Cross and Médicins sans frontiers, so I wouldn't have a guilty conscience for passing on the contribution to the fire fighters/rescue team on a fairly wealthy/healthy island - but the chance of buying back IV's wit, insight and annoyance to the board, I can not resist ;)
Oh God, I miss IV and would love for him to come back! Unfortunatly, the amount my budget admits me to contribute doesn't bring us home on the fundraising, or by any means reflect my opinion on what he is really worth, so please help me out here...

Back in reality, cherishing memories of a dream that came true!

Thanks Karibien for being the first European to pledge. Even supporters without checking accounts can figure creative ways to support The Friends of SBH and restore free wheeling speech to our friend IV!

For MikeR I would pay a Kings ransom to keep around. Maybe it's the ski thing. As for IV coming out of "retirement" I could care less and think it is a cheap shot using this venue to sneak back in the poster lime light.
I've pried my wallet open for the fire/rescue, but surely not to get a poster back on line.
