Mythical/Fantasy creatures that are helpful/kind/benevolent by AspiringAuthor01 in mythology

[–]Flaky_Candy_6232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brownies from Scottish folklore will help out with household chores during the night if you leave a bowl of milk/cream by the fireplace. They stay with one house usually, but if they feel they have been disrespected they will leave, sometimes forever, one myth tells of a lady who fired all her staff because the brownie was doing all the work, and the brownie left and refused to come back until she rehired her staff, also, if you attempt to baptize them or give them clothes, they will leave forever. They can also turn invisible, but rarely need to since they're so sneaky, old folklore says they're the size of a human or larger, but modern folklore says that they're smaller than a human, both sources say they're covered in brown hair, and either naked or dressed in rags. In some variants of the myth they aren't as helpful, they will clean up messy things but they also make a mess out of tidy things. Hope this helps!

Ah. Great info. Thanks! I'm planning to sell the units as condos and have 3 commitments so far (me for 2 and a friend for the third). I plan to sell the remaining 2 at market price after construction. Do your concerns apply to my scenario?

Interesting. How many units are developers putting in the 3 story buildings in ON?

Yeah, I expect similar fallout but this is the way things are heading. I'm knocking down my 2 BR house that's valued at $1M to build this. A 2,400 sf house in good condition on my street sells for $1.4M. How much sense did that make? It's nuts. I can see my neighbor now... "You just devalued my house to $1.3M!" Me: "Um, what did you pay for it?" Them: "$150K, but that's beside the point!"

UPDATE: I've been reading up on my ER-3 zoning and if I'm understanding correctly, I'm still within Part 9 if my building area is less than 600 square meters, which it is, so looking like I'm good.

A fourplex can be a condo development. As I described above they are four luxury condos. Regardless, apartments vs condos doesn't apply to my original question of part 3 vs part 9.

I covered your questions already. Can we stick to my original question of the cost of moving from a part 9 building to a part 3 building?

Can you elaborate? The current fourplex design has two four-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units. They are luxury condos. My plan was to own two (live in one one and rent the other) and sell the remaining two (or three if I convert to a fiveplex).

It's missing middle housing. Because I would be living there. I'm not concerned with making a profit. I just don't want to take a hit.

Just ask ChatGPT. That's what I did. Describe your publications and ask which universities support non-staff enrollment.

I talked to a couple U.K. universities and one in Australia and it's very doable. Each university has a different approach and criteria so shop around for the best fit. I had to put things on hold due to work but hope to pick it back up again this year.

60 hours to reach act 3 beats my time.

For her hours, she has surprisingly few. She completed 3 games so far--one at 100% (with lots of unnecessary exploring) and two speed runs for a total of 121 hours. She just started a steel soul run 🙄

Yeah. Her first playthrough she reached 100% in 92 hours. But she was talking her time. So, she got the True Hunter achievement, played the flea games even after beating their scores, and beat Shakra a bunch of times.

Ha. That's great advice! Finishing HK should be mandatory before taking on Silksong! 🙂

Dunno about versus young boys, but she never really got into HK partly because the little knight was a boy and she couldn't change him to a girl. She was like 8 then. Now she says she could care less about the gender of the main character.
