Re: Some Queensland coast climate advice please
I confess to noticing how humid Sydney is compared to Melbourne. So it will be interesting to venture back to a QLD summer one day. Haven't managed it in 16 years though!

Sounds to me you are confusing pride with achievement and not location as I believe what was being referred to.

Yep, I understood it the same way you do. Kind of similar to a person being house proud.

Yep. You may not have the best house on the street but you are proud of what it is.
I get being house proud, I get being proud of achievements (of which house proud would most likely also fit) - but not proud of a location so I think I'm with MP. |

Being house proud is still a long way different from being proud of where you live in terms of location.

I'm with Paulry and for a rare instance, troubadour. Most people are proud of their house and its location.
I do not get the concept of pride in location nor particularly in a house. I can like where I live but take pride if that is the term you prefer to use, in personal accomplishments, not in location or material possession. Like and pride are very different. Probably more a sense of ambiguity would replace pride in the context you use it in. There are always far better houses in much more dynamic locations . |

Not so fast. We remain, as per usual; on very different pages. Sounds like you are reading from a different book altogether.

OK. Of course. You don't like where you live. However I do agree with what you said in post 30
I like where I live for sure, I chose the area because I like it, but I'm not proud of it. There are plenty of other nice areas I could have chosen, and I'm equally not ashamed of those areas because I did not choose to buy a house there. |

Do you not see that there is a difference between liking where you live, and being proud of it?

Ah got ya. It was about MP defending the reputation of where she lives....
I understand that you struggle with the written word, so would that help you? |

If someone is stating an opinion, I'd probably just nod and agree until they went away :lol:
