*I have electricity, so it's not totally unlivable. But no water, no cable, no internet, no fridge, no stove, no washer, no dryer. No way to cook, no way to clean that requires water, no way to go to the bathroom, no way to shower. I can only watch DVDs, play old video games, and sleep in bed. There's a lot of damage to the house that needs fixed, too. AMA!

Good I guess? I met a guy, but he was so nervous about "being next to a pretty girl that [he] couldn't think" and we just sort of talked while he was over.

No, but that's a good idea! How much is a shower worth? One blowie maybe?

Odd. If I can't think talking is what I try to avoid. Lol. Thinking and sex are kinda opposite ends of the spectrum imo.

Maybe I could ask for a gallon of water to take home in addition to the shower for a blowie. All that plus laundry for going all the way. Huh, too bad none of you live near me, eh?

Just get the guy on a hook and have him buy a fuck ton of garden hoses and run them to yer place. That's the smart move.

It was really weird. It felt like high school because he just kept saying the same things over and over again. "I'm really nervous", "you're just so pretty", "I'm trying to think, but you're distracting me". Am I really that attractive? Or was he using lines to flatter me?

No. A gas water heater is $400, labor would be $400, and the old water bill from the previous tenants is over $600. I'd have to start working the corner for that kind of scratch.

so wtf you're just going to live like that for the foreseeable future? that's not good man. you're going to die of thirst or lack of showers without water. I'm not really an adult but my main thing I need is water and I think most humans also need that

My grandmother lives nearby. I can go to her house for showers and water until I can figure out how to fix this. I can also invite guys from Tinder over with the stipulation that they must bring water in order to hang out. I bet most of them would do it.

Calm down there bucko. It's a lot more complicated than this, believe me. I start my new job in a few days and am planning on using a good chunk of my pay to fix the place up and make it livable. It'll take some time, but I'm sure I can do it. I don't rely on others to do everything for me. Turning on the water is my number one priority. Getting a stove and fridge and other stuff can wait. Why you gotta be such a sour puss?

Yeah, I moved from my apartment near my school to this house. I'm planning on applying for an in-store credit card from Home Depot or something, buy a cheap water heater, and get a friend to hook it up for cheap. I can afford to pay off the card every month if I do it that way.

yeah that sounds good but is there an actual shower in the house? or just no running water? also you're gonna need a microwave, oven, fridge, possibly washer/dryer, on top of the other problems.

idk im not trying to freak you out because you seem to be relatively calm about the whole thing but i'd be freaking the fuck out right now lmao.

That sucks that you had to deal with all that, I'm sorry. but at least now you have a place you can call your own. I'm sure by the end of the year it'll be a sweet lil home tbh. I take it the rent is cheap yes?

My grandma said this: "Your mother left you nothing, only bills and problems. That's not right. Unfortunately, she already spent the inheritance I was going to give her when I die so there really is nothing left for you. I'm getting old so I don't need to worry about saving money too much anymore. This is my final gift to you because your mother couldn't give you anything. I'll put this house in my name and pay off the mortgage for you, you just have to pay the utilities and repairs. I hope it's enough for you to survive after I'm gone since you'll be all alone after that".
