Here's a (not so) long story short: guy didn't show. He says he texted me for more info and when I didn't respond, he thought I was "bailing" on him. I never got any texts. Nor did I get any messages on facebook, IM, or any other means of messaging. So, yeah. After a half hour, I left. Thanks again to Kirsten for talking me down. This is, I believe ( Read more... ) -

There's a house. It's in downtown Xenia, not quite a great location. Ok, that's an understatement; it's on an intersection and next door to a crappy apartment building, but that's not the end of the world. Then there's the condition of the house: it's kinda looking a little like it's gonna fall apart, there are some really low hanging power lines ( Read more... )
