wow i might get a free house in orange county next summer

[mark414]

a friend of mine has a grandmother with a house that she owns completely...but she's having some psychiatric problems so sometime in the next year is going to be moving into a home...it's a 2 bedroom with an acre of property that my friend wants to turn into a giant vegetable garden...all i'd have to pay for is my share of utilities

i'd have to live in orange county, but it's 30 minutes south of long beach, i wouldn't even have to have a regular job, just do odd work here and there, enough for utilities and food, but even then, giant vegetable garden...

should i do it?

1. Um...

[KitchenWitch]

2. Absolutely!

And where in Orange County?

I am moving to Irvine.

8. in fullerton

[KitchenWitch]

9. Wow, that is fairly close to where I will be!

:hi:

3. Sounds good to me........

But I would take the precaution of having your agreement in writing...

Just so there's no misunderstandings.........

Go for it!

:bounce: :bounce:

10. well my friend (whose grandmother it is)

is going to be moving into the house for sure, so it'll be his house - i'll just be along for the ride...

4. 30 minutes south of Long Beach?

That would put it in the Westminster / Cypress area, no? Not a bad place to live.

edit: I'm stupid, Cypress would be east. South would be more like the Irvine / Santa Ana area. My neck of the woods.

:woohoo:

12. fullerton to be exact

the house is about a mile outside of the "downtown" area (i don't know? i've never been to the oc but it's where my buddy grew up...)

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Oh, okay

I thought maybe you traded somebody a giant staple or something. :shrug:

6. Wait a second:

You're debating whether to take this chance or not?! Dude, if you DON'T, *I* will. Sounds like a dream come true.

[mark414]

11. no i'm definitely going to do it

i'm just bored and wanted to spark some conversation

[RandomKoolzip]

13. Ah.

The way you described your situation made it sound like there was a downside to the offer.

14. I have in-laws in that area....

personally, it's not my cup of tea. I always have an overwhelming sense of being in a completely artificial environment, like a movie set.

However, I'm guessing that you're young and single, so what the heck...go for it! 'Just don't burn any bridges to home.

Good luck and have fun!
