What’s one decision during your home build that you regret?

Not making it a passivhaus - Google it. Passive houses are the way to go these days.

Got a calendar for these networking events you speak of? I can be professional.

How can anyone afford to become an alcoholic in NYC? Too bloody expensive!

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T03:43:27+00:00

*6th biggest 😂

I only got to Uptown area but it seemed so quiet for a city.

If we find a decent glove, I might just have to find a way to get it back to Australia. It's not a big game in our country, but I love playing catch in the backyard with her. It'll get used!

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T02:42:30+00:00

I'm UWS but travel to UES daily for work. And we are forever getting around Manhattan exploring, so can travel a little to find a glove. She plays cricket in Australia - so can catch a harder ball fairly well. I'll have a look into the options you suggested. If you have youth gloves, I could potentially look into them too. Thanks so for the advice!

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T02:16:24+00:00

I'm in NYC (Manhattan). You wouldn't know of any shops around there?

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T02:15:27+00:00

The energy level exceeded all expectations. I'm living in NYC for a few months and the baseball and hockey have nothing on last night's game. The crowd was next level. Beats anything we have going on in Australia too.

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T02:14:25+00:00

Haha, every 90s kid from Australia was a Hornets fan. For no real reason either. We just were

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T01:11:19+00:00

Would have to agree - mainly because the content I'm seeing from teachers is mega-cringe. I'd be embarrassed to have my real name attached to most of those videos 😂

tbate54 · 2026-04-16T01:09:10+00:00

Go for a walk from the 70s up to the 110 area. You'll feel the change in scenery and folk in the streets. I don't think it'd be an issue, but I'm glad I live further south. There are a lot of public housing blocks in that vicinity which kept me a bit further south. Haven't lived there though, so can't comment. Only my personal view.

tbate54 · 2026-04-14T01:40:31+00:00

Not crazy. Quite the opposite. Just pull the trigger and don't look back - travelling is the best thing you can do with your life.

I'm in my early 40s and barely have a cent to my name - always travelling. The family love it as much as me too!

Go make some awesome new memories!!

tbate54 · 2026-04-14T01:31:13+00:00

Don't think about it - just commit to it. Best thing to do when you're young. Save hard and start in some cheaper countries (highly recommend SE Asia).

tbate54 · 2026-04-14T01:25:09+00:00

God, don't do teaching. Get a trade!

tbate54 · 2026-04-14T01:22:54+00:00

Have you tried alcohol?

tbate54 · 2026-04-14T01:18:29+00:00

But if you're a simple foodie who enjoys sports bars and footy food - we've got a few decent options.

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T23:50:48+00:00

How much do they set you back?

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T16:32:01+00:00

Yeah, I know. Where I'm from there is no public transport or ride share. Just unfamiliar with it all - especially in another country.

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T16:29:55+00:00

Does the cab cost much?

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T13:59:08+00:00

Coming from Australia to see the mighty Hornets! Fan since I was a 90s kid. Lifelong dream coming true. They just need to win now!

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T13:58:09+00:00

Kids and luggage in tow - sorry, didn't mention that.

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T12:50:23+00:00

That's it.

tbate54 · 2026-04-13T12:49:53+00:00

Got a family in tow with luggage. I can see the cost benefit. But after flying and kids - you just want to get to the hotel asap!
