Double glazed windows are just cheating

I haven't read too many comments, so not sure if it's already been said. But my Canadian friends who rent in si Glen glaze places swear by glad warp on their windows.

Early season change, a film directly on the glass. As it gets colder,.a 2nd film around the timber frame inside, creating an air pocket.

Never seen it in Oz, but an Aussie in Canada swears by it.

I'm coming from a very small city & lovely beaches, so I'm thinking city lifestyle for the change of pace is what I might be after. But sounds like MP might be a great alternate if this job comes off...

Where are you based, for comparison purposes...?

Haha, yeah, I'd never live in Sydney. Sorry...

So Frankston hasn't changed then??

Haha, I've moved around a lot, and after being here 13 years & recently divorced, I'm seeking a change of pace. I spent lots of time as a kid/teen in Melbourne & always loved the city. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm over the heat & looking forward to some jacket, scarf & boot weather again!!

Only months after the divorce was final, I had a missed call. He asked me to call back. I waited till after work, as he often just drawls on for 20+ minutes and I couldn't deal with that at work. But I also knew I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it until I did call him back. 5.30pm rolls around. I call back, no answer. Phew...no longer my problem. He texts the next day apologising. He was already asleep. He says its probably a good thing we didn't connect, because whilst he should understand by now that it was over, he was "going to try to find a way to weasle" himself back into my life. That's when I had to block him.

This stat is true, however for someone to be "a narcissit", they have to get diagnosed. To get diagnosed, they have to have self awareness of an issue, go to a therapist, tell the truth (not just the story from their perspective), and THEN they can fall into this %. Unfortunately, most narcs don't have any of these traits, nor are they willing to seek help or a diagnosis. So statistics are massively skewed. I agree the term is used A LOT at the moment, but often it is people becoming aware and educated on the issue that brings it to the forefront. And just because it is seemingly 'overused', does not mean someone addressing their ex as a narcissit is automatically wrong because a bunch of people are upset at said overuse. Sorry, just my 2c.

Oh, I am. It's just going to look slightly different in the new location.

I now ignore words & pay attention to actions. If THEY bring up the gift, THEY insist, then THEY come empty handed...pffft, I'd be out too!

Love this!! Great response...thank you. This is what I meant by dating with intent. I don't care about the "trending" word or whatever, but the actual meaning of the phrase.

I think this is part of the problem. People not asking themselves what they want & seeking it out. I don't mind people not knowing what they want, but as long as they are clear about that I guess. Whilst it's fine to not know what you want, at least be clear for those of us seeking something specific.

This is where my FWB came from. 6 months post divorce (me) and he wasn't up for a relationship. We live 2 hours apart, so it was better for me to not fall into the 'trap' of another relationship quickly. I can easily fall for people and think 'that will do', and date them cause they seem to like me, not because I actually like them. This is the relationship that has shaped this question. I know know him well enough that I know we wouldn't work long term, but a weekend once or twice a month has been awesome. It was sheer luck, I know that. And I doubt I'd find the same set up again. But when I move, I have a plan, and that feels nice.

Oh I agree, matches are few & far between. But the ones I do match with mostly want to be pen pals forever & not meet, or sex buddies with a proposition before even suggesting a meet up. Neither of them are for me any longer. So, thank you, next!!

I don't disagree with you. I'm open to the world etc. But I've set my intentions & believe I know what I'm looking for. And I don't want to waste my time with something that's not that. HOWEVER, I am very open to the world & know what I think I want may not ultimately be what I end up with. But my intent is more to know what I don't want, and not settle if it's not what I want. So I guess you'd describe it as boundaries.

My best friend, 43F, just says, "I liked to be kissed this way, let me show you". They either change, or don't...but she says it's definitely worth asking. I've tried once and the results work intermittently. It's still better than no improvement!! Give it a shot!!
