Michael, If I ask you to tell us about your new venture...then your answer won't be a "plug"!!

So...what information can you share about your new venture? What will you be serving? Sounds like a great location to serve the northern resorts.

I kinda like the "Chant" and Browse! Great idea. Come on, Michael...spill the beans and share.....Carole

PS I'm certain you will not be opening up a Hot Sauce concession stand! LOL. Only teasing, Michael...I know you can handle the hot stuff, just not some of the torches Joe and I bring down. Please do tell....

Okay,,so you cant chant, just chat....I thought it had a nice ring to it. Yup Scott, it is an idea that was waiting to happen..Bonaire's only Barefoot Internet stop. Ice Cream eater welcome. We will not be serving food but you can bring a snack. The art on the walls is food enough, especially Linda's and Janices's work. We will also provide a message center for visitors who need to be reaced via fax, phone or on line.

And just a short stroll across the parking lot (although that gravel is tough on bare feet); we rent the Zale's unit at Sand$. Just 11 days 'till take-off.

Definitely, Michael: sandals only. Not even my fall/spring socks 'n sandals. Any gravel is too tough on my bare, bony feet. But it was cruel of you to rub it in during a snowstorm here!!! :–)

How much does the 100 minute phone card cost???

 

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Jake Richter (Moderator - Post #3853) on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 9:21 pm:     Edit PostPrint Post

I think he meant a "100 guilder (NAFl)" card. At least that's what his sign above the store says :-)

Jake

PS That's more than 100 minutes, and Bonaire cell phones only charge for outgoing calls, not incoming.

The 100 unit card is about $60.00 and each unit is more than one minute to call the usa. Rates do differ for instance if you are calling Tibet or east Timor...Hey, those rocks are not that bad...

Michael,
Yes they are, if the only thing your bare feet are used to is the smooth tile of the bathroom and the carpets on the rest of the floors. Remember, it's a bit hard to condition your feet when the air temperature outside is hovering around 0 deg. F (it seems it hasn't gotten above freezing here for weeks. 10 days to go!

How long have you been going real barefoot now, Michael?? Just a little bit of callus on the bottoms???
