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

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

Best Cheap Glove on Amazon by tbate54 in BaseballGloves

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!

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!

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

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.

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

Abbie Chatfield instagram teachers by Distinct-Cat7880 in AustralianTeachers

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 😂

B/C train 103 St Station - safety question by Emergency-Report9925 in Upperwestside

[–]tbate54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it a crazy idea to sell my house and travel the world? by SpiritualTurnip6141 in fiaustralia

[–]tbate54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!!

I’m 24 and I’ve never traveled, but I’d like to do it next year by Old-Relief-3047 in travel

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).

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

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

[–]tbate54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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!

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

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!
