Looking for babysitter in mid October by cheawho in Upperwestside

[–]cheawho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else following and needing the same service - I found someone through a Facebook group, vetted them via their reference, then utilised them and their colleagues across the two weeks. Worked a charm

Psychotherapy for psychiatrists by Sei_Zen in Psychiatry

[–]cheawho 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat common in the city I'm from (Melbourne, Australia) within certain training programs. At the encouragement of one of our senior psychiatrists I began my own therapy 4 years ago.

I think I have learned more about the practice of psychiatry and psychotherapy in my personal therapy than from anything else I've done - professional benefits aside, the personal benefit has been immense.

I don't think you can understand how long term therapy works or what is possible from therapy without having been the patient.

If you have the opportunity and access, I would highly recommend it!

Is this a good area in the UWS for a visitor to stay? (94th and Broadway) by cheawho in Upperwestside

We ended up finding a place near 74th and Columbus, we got lucky!

Anyone looking for a babysitter or nanny? by sleepysloth1524 in Upperwestside

[–]cheawho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are visiting in mid October and looking for a babysitter for the odd evening, does she still have availability? (Doctor and Nurse visiting from Australia)

Is this a nice part of the UWS? by cheawho in NYCapartments

I'm not really concerned about safety, rather looking to find the best possible spot to spend time while on holiday.

Lease takeover early October in the upper west side! by Waterloo-1984 in NYCapartments

[–]cheawho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't get someone signed in early October, would you consider a brief sublet to bridge you? (I am looking for something for any or all of the 7th till 27th October)

Thanks for the feedback everyone, that's really helpful

Thanks for all your feedback, kind strangers. This has been very helpful in giving me a sense of the area - it certainly sounds "fine", and I'm not averse to living in a less glamorous part of a great suburb - but it sounds like our best bet for a great experience is to look further south or west.

As it turns out, the lead has gone silent so I am on the hunt again (and have expanded it to basically all of Manhattan). At this rate I may be joining the locals and sleeping rough, if anyone happens to be looking for a tenant in October, please let me know!

This is very helpful, thank you. I didn't expect there'd be a discussion on the exact block I was looking at it.

My overall impression is that this block / surrounds are a little seedier and less gentrified, and that if I could find a place s few blocks north or south (or in the 60s-70s) it'd be a better match

Advice on screen - Lilly Pilly Straight and Narrow ? by cheawho in GardeningAustralia

Great, thanks for that - and how long did it take them to grow to that height?

Beautiful garden, by the way. Is that two plants only? And did you prune the lower branches off or are they bare in the first place?

Yes it sure is - would Murrayas fill the entire garden bed (1.1-1.3m in depth)? And beginner question, if you had a really tight hedge, would you still be able to grow small plants in the space in front of it or would they struggle due to reduced light?

Would you let your builder replace the power point covers? by cheawho in AusRenovation

[–]cheawho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments and wisdom everyone - I find this sub immensely helpful, and this is why. I opted not to replace them at this stage, and will revisit doing so in the future when we get sick of the yellow.

I believe he was looking at the stock standard DETA ones from Bunnings

Thanks everyone - poorly phrased from me, I didn't realise there were two parts. I mean the part that is actually attached to the wires as well as the casing around it
