Surely scythes are designed for cutting grass?Using it to cut regular grass requires real skill, agility, and strength/endurance.I don't doubt it. Still, at least they're quiet (and look cool) :)
I know at least one person who has one in lieu of a lawnmower, so I'll have to ask him how it's working out...
Working out is the key part here.

Ok, who I am kidding, I hate working out. It makes me feel dizzy and makes my skin itch.

Sounds awesome to me. A little smaller than my ideal (900 sq ft is my idea of perfect, but only because we like to have 3 bedrooms...Those must be some microscopic bedrooms.
Our house is listed on Zillow as 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, 1388 square feet. I think that's a ludicrous overestimate, considering the footprint of the house is [(22'x17') + (25'x28')] = 1074 sq. feet, rounding up to the next foot on every measurement and including all the walls, closets, etc.
And while we have a very nice large living room, dining room, and kitchen (we believe in social areas), the bedrooms are teensy and the bathroom is pathetic.
I'm guessing you'd need a "real" 1300 square feet to have 3 bedrooms. And maybe that would earn you a decent bathroom.
Not really. As long as you find a place with a small living room and kitchen and only one bath, you can still get decent sized bedrooms. Big enough to put a bed in anyway, and that's really my standard. I had a bedroom the size of a walk in closet when I was growing up, so it's warped my sense of what a decent size room is. :)
As long as you don't mind not having entertaining space then there are lots of houses and apartments like that around here. And I don't mind no entertaining space, cause introvert. (Ain't no party like an introvert party, cause an introvert party don't start.). :PAnd in a big fit of irony, I swear we only ever have guests when we are living in a small house with very little room for them to do things like sit down. Because apparently friends are like cats who only want to go where they are inconvenient. ;)

Ah, makes sense. Over half our square footage is dedicated to just the LR, DR, and kitchen. Cut those down and there would be tons of space. And our bedroom does fit a king-sized bed with perhaps 2.5 feet on either side, so it would be "luxurious" by those standards... :-P

Get a scythe! Then you can pretend to be Nerull at the same time!That's not good for cutting grass unfortunately.
.
Step 1: Get some goats to eat the grass.Step 2: Get some trees or playground equipment for the goats to climb.
Step 3: Eventually upgrade goats to spider goats (Bonus: May gain spider goat superpowers from bite).
Step 4: Become known in neighborhood as "crazy
Step 5: Inconsiderate people who make surprise pop-in visits stop coming around.
Step 6: Dispatch spider goat army across the town

Two bedrooms, 700 square feet I think, has a nice yard, we're on a major bus route and bike path that goes right downtown, walking distance to food, work, school, booze (not that we're big drinkers, it's nice to have the option)and a shopping district with a farmer's market in the spring, summer and fall.
Sounds like a nice area and I have heard that "Mad-Town" is a cool place to live.I helped a friend of mine build a tiny house for his now ex-girlfiend. This thing was on a trailer and was like 200 or so sq. ft. I don't think I could do that.

Mad-Town is very nice, it has it's issues, but every city does, and unlike the rest of the state, is capable of occasionally changing or even do the right thing, I actually would not recommend living anywhere else in Wisconsin, unless it's close to Madison. Mount Horeb for instance, is a charming Troll filled town (literally, carved wooden trolls are hidden everywhere in town)

He's one of our longsword instructors at HEMA. That probably has quite a lot to do with it...

And a very deep fillerstufflickal question for everybody:
Headless zombies in Oblivion. They haven't any eyes, ears or a nose, so they can't see, hear or smell; they don't have flipping whiskers; so how do they know you're there?

That's what I'd bet on. Either that or a Lifesense ability - they're inherently drawn toward sources of living, non-undead energy.

Despite parents who never let me in the kitchen because they didn't trust me, I apparently can cook. Take chicken drumsticks. Can get two pounds for three dollars at Trader Joe's. Let sit in soy sauce for about 30 minutes. Rub with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook in teflon pan over medium heat with no oil, covered with a lid. Turn halfway through. Comes out amazing.
I think the smoked paprika is the important part.

I woke up (after helping some sort of police force fight vampires as their friendly vampire or something for the first half of night* and then trying to get through repaired building while avoiding colossi guarding it), found that money for the project I worked on earlier came into my PayPal... And then found that Witcher 3 is on sale... 50% off. Now trying GOG Galaxy client because downloading 37 GB split into multiple 3.9 GB files is too much. I will be going out in 20 minutes anyway so I would have to do it when I return from session in the night.
Got a busy day of fighting off a+#+~+@s at the 24 hour grocery store (i assume the usual crowd of surly old people will be overrun by the a~$~&~&s that arrive individually in giant SUVs, after that it's a concerted effort to locate Fallout New Vegas, and then probably work, depending on how burned out the General is and if she needs me on the home front, not like it's going to be busy anyway, what with everyone resting up for tomorrow's bloodbath.

ha! We're warmer right now then you, by two or three degrees, but considering its been around 25-32 (and windy, which drops the windchill temp around 10-20 degrees) for a week straight, 41 degrees feels absolutely tropical, I'm even wearing shorts right now. :-)
Mortar and Pestle: So, uh, do you want some "hindsight is 20/20" advice that might not really be that great anyway (since you did just fine), or no? Otherwise: things seem pretty straightforward!
Also, if I may, I'm starting to get nervous. Things have been going relatively smoothely, but things like running low on Ancient Power, and similar things raise my hackles a bit for a Nuzlocke. I kiiiiiiiiiiinda want you to level up some of your bench warmers a bit. But that could just be my creeping paranoia talking (and might not be fun for you). :D

Hey, Freehold. Care to explain why I had to scrape frost off of my car this morning?
I would be sending some hot weather your way, but Freehold DM messed up my Anti-Weather Dominator. It is in the shop and the technician said that it will be at least 4 to 5 months before I can get it back. ~grumbles~ Thanks Freehold DM.

OK, here's a little bit of venting this morning:
I'm sure this has happened to all of you: You're approaching a 4-way stop sign with a veeeeeeery slow vehicle ahead of you. It's as if that person was never taught that there is a gas pedal in addition to a brake. So, you get to the stop sign. They stop. They start sloooooooowly creeping through the intersection. You get to the stop sign. You stop. They're STILL in the intersection. Another car comes along perpendicular to you, sees the vehicle already in the intersection, assumes it's their turn, and rolls through their stop sign to cut you off.
Happened to me twice this morning. Both times as soon as I saw what they intended I went ahead and went in spite of the car ahead of me still being in the way. And the first driver had the gall to honk at me.
Look, just because there's a car in the intersection perpendicular to you doesn't automatically make it your turn!
Grrrrr....

Defensive driving, my dear NH; defensive driving.
It's necessary because people can't read a situation clearly for a host of reasons - kind of like comments on a message board.
That said, traffic is one of those things that can reeeaaaally get to me, so I empathize.
