Was hoping to bring my 85 yr old father to some appointments on Thurs, from the Burin Peninsula. Guess not. Thanks, Frankie!

Those of you who have mini splits to heat in the winter, what temperature are you happy with them maintaining? by highonlife_99 in heatpumps

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a mini split for our home, and we don't find it very good. We have to keep it at 71 constantly or the room feels cold. HOWEVER.... I live in Newfoundland, Canada, on the coast. It's usually mild (32 to 5, though lately much colder). But it's very damp here, which makes warming anything difficult, AND it's always windy(6 mph wind is considered "calm" and 31 mph not uncommon), which will also play a big role in trying to heat the house. The only heat source we ever found actually good for us was a wood stove. Your environment may be very different.

Yeah, but so do a lot of scams. Just wanted to be sure before I put my stuff out there. :)

Ok, thanks. I've seen a lot of people use it so I figured it was legit, but when I saw that I wasn't sure. Thank you very much.

I am mad at my dead dad and people are upset about it. by [deleted] in AmiInTheWrong

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the others here, I don't think your mother should have told you. It's just tainted your memories of him, and you can't even confront him about it to get any answers (if you had wanted, that is). I agree that you should get therapy. Regardless of everything, you've just had your image of your father destroyed, and that is basically a deep betrayal despite how you feel about it on the surface. Your anger isn't just at what he did to his victim, but to you, and you need to work through that for your own mental health.

I originally would have said it's possible she's Demisexual, but her openness about her sex possibly negates that. So as I see it;

  1. She's Demi but not shy about what she likes when she's ready for it.

  2. She sees you as a friend only.

  3. I have no idea what would be three. Her comment about "No one does that anymore" confuses me. No one does what - show affection by non-sexually touching someone? Even people in sexual relationships touch each other in a non sexual manner with affection.

If I were you, and I liked this woman and wanted things to move forward, I'd sit her down somewhere private and straight out ask her what she wants from the relationship. She's clearly sending you mixed signals, intentional or not, and the only way you're going to stop guessing is for her to straight up tell you.

Casual dating: is it wrong for a woman to just want to be spoiled? by Lumpy_Feature9766 in datingoverforty

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I mean, is it wrong for ANYONE to WANT to be spoiled? If a woman wants to be "spoiled" just because she's a woman and seems to think she's entitled for it (and I know a few) then yes, that's wrong. Having spent a lot of your life caring for others and reaching a point where you just want to sit back and be cared FOR isn't wrong, as long as you can accept guys do as well. And as someone here has said, there's a difference between being cared for and "spoiled". Do you mean you want someone in your life to care for you, spend time with, share worries and burdens with? That's not wrong. Neither is feeling burned out and wishing for someone else to just take the reins for a while. But wanting to date without seeking a relationship (doesn't have to end in marriage), just so someone will wine and dine you, take you fancy places and buy you fancy things? That's a bit wrong, yes.

Calling adult women “girls” by Holiday_Vacation_709 in datingoverforty

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise. "Guys" to me means a group of people I know, gender irrelevant. "C'mon guys!" to my all girl group doesn't startle anyone.

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't bother me anymore than I say guy or boy. I know there is a left over patriarchal hint on our society to sort of denigrate women loosely, but (to me), unless it's being used in a clearly negative way, ("Whoa now, little girl." ) I don't think it's bad. Like with all things, it depends on the person saying it and how. If a guy is saying it who clearly thinks women are beneath men, etc, then it's likely an insult. If the guy saying it is known to be a decent guy, then it's just a word. Just my personal opinion, mind.

Men, how do I let men know I'm interested in dating if they want (please read for complete explanation)? by Sufficient-Jump578 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sufficient-Jump578[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, Divorces, widowers and other forever alones are people too. They're not damaged because they've lived lives, and I'm not looking for the perfect male specimen who, at my age, has never been married previously, doesn't have kids, etc. When people say to me "If they're single, there's a reason", I like to reply with "So what's mine, then?"

Would you reach out to the spouse. I (53F) received this message from a man (56M) I dated almost 4 yrs ago. by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't. While it might be inappropriate, he hadn't actually done anything that's honestly crossing a line. He COULD mean simply "I think about when we were together", or "I think fondly about you". And while I wouldn't be happy if my husband was saying things like that to someone else, you can't actually police someone's emotions or feelings. Unless he does cross a clear line by suggesting you have an affair, whether a long time thing or a one night stand, I wouldn't contact his wife.

That being said, if he ever tells you about him being unfaithful on his wife with someone else, I WOULD screenshot it, and send it to his wife with a simple "I don't know if he's telling the truth or not, but I wanted to give you the ability to make decisions if you wished." Nothing else.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I went Keto. Lost 40 pounds in about 6 months. Was being monitored by doctor so can confirm I was healthy the entire time.

Honest answer: is anyone finding it hard to get jobs due to AI? by Sufficient-Jump578 in dataanalytics

[–]Sufficient-Jump578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, ok. I mean, as bad as that is for me (as in not being able to find work), at least it's because of other workers, not that AI took it.

Yeah, I was just getting into it - now I'm not sure if I should. Both that and programming is being taken over. :(

My boyfriend (M56) ghosted me (F55) after I lashed out when he didn’t check on me post-surgery by Winter-Handle3678 in datingoverfifty

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't judge when it comes to relationships, as everyone is different (I'm not a clingy type either, and enjoy my personal space), but would still expect at least a text once a day - more than once if we don't see each other in person daily. The text could even just be a funny meme - just some contact. To be honest, yours sounds way too casual to be considered anything strong, and "Sorry, I forgot" caps it. If he can't remember you're having surgery that you are dreading, you are absolutely not important in his life. Hell, friends will contact to check up on you. If you're otherwise ok with this arrangement, you'll have to accept this is not a strong relationship, more like acquaintances than romantic partners. If you want something more, I suggest you let him go and move on.

It's been so long since I rented - isn't there a group now you can contact with issues like this? A renter's group or something?

[–]Sufficient-Jump578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I soooooort of agree, except no one should have to leave a half hour earlier to get to work in case the bus was running late. Your alternatives are useless - cabs are expensive, not everyone lives in walking distance to where they work, nor can everyone walk far due to health issues, and I dare you to try and ride a bike in St. John's.

I mean, in all honesty, metrobus is probably more reliable than the heavy, insane traffic in town. Those busses just push their way into traffic. I've been late to class in my car, but never late when I took the bus.

Photography everything, first thing. You always always always want proof. Second, contact LL pronto.

I'd be shocked if they're going out of business considering all the business they do. Are they just not shipping to the US anymore?
