    Whoosh! Jokes! Innovation and motivation! Interesting what goes on in the sewo! I love it!!!! Laughter a day keeps the doctor away! Nice pic DNO! And for those who are criticising, that is one of the reasons we stay behind in life. We do not open up ourselves to ingenuity. The simplest things in life can make us reach. Open up your minds people! And even if it does not make one rich, it gives a good laugh and laughter is good for the soul! Geez! Always criticising! Stupes!!!

      That person must be either from Marigot or Wesley. No right minded person in Marigot or Wesley would wear their good shoes in those two villages. If you think I lie, just ask anybody from that area.

    Talk about ingenuity in DA. Pity we will not harness our ability to improvise, recreate and apply our talents in ways that would bring us real benefit.

    Nice photo. Shows Dominicans’ artfulness.

      You find it takes talent to wrap you feet in plastic bags? Eben your standards must be very low.

        Where’s your humour??? Jeez!

        Piper…its important to understand the levels of Talent cause you surely don’t. It is not because you are unable to HIGH-cal your LOW-cal and claim to control it under circumstances and call it a TALENT! Sir that is NOT Talent! YOU are in serious need to drink Bwa Bande’!! I recommend you buy, however, please consult your physician before purchasing!

        Now, to offer some more assistance, that is REAL TALENT AND INNOVATION right there! Why? Because, one, the individual seek to not have idiots like PIPER, pipe on their newly worn shoe. Secondly, Piper might have excreted waste products that were already induced in the body and the talented person would not want to spend EXTRA on disinfectant and BLEACH!

        Last but not least I leave that up to you to figure out you Unprecedented, no use of an APE!

        Have a great day and according to the Miss Dca contestants, I THANK YOUUUUUUU! … LMFAO
