"Fanny" is still one of my favorite books. Dick jokes and pirates. What else could you want?
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Allyson, I hope you have run upstairs and let your neighbor know, so that they will at least stop using the water. I got no legal info for you. Calls to the landlord every hour on the hour until they get back to you would be a good start though.
I've tried to go to bed 3 time, each time remembering something I needed to do which got me out of bed. This time, I kinda gave in and am writing checks that I had on my to-do list for tomorrow. If I can't sleep I might as well be productive.

Call tenants rights organization to find out what your rights are. (Lawyers are good too - but rights orgs, ya know free.)

Allyson, from here: [link] --
Landlord's responsibility for repairs
Before renting a rental unit to a tenant, a landlord must make the unit fit to live in, or habitable. Additionally, while the unit is being rented, the landlord must repair problems which make the rental unit unfit to live in, or uninhabitable.
Conditions that make a rental unit legally uninhabitable
There are many kinds of defects that could make a rental unit unlivable. The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain their rental units in a condition fit for the "occupation of human beings." In addition, the rental unit must "substantially comply" with building and housing code standards that materially affect tenants' health and safety.
A dwelling may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it substantially lacks any of the following:
Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system.
Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds, and appurtenances (for example, a garden or a detached garage), free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents, and vermin.
In addition to these requirements, each rental unit must have all of the following:
A working toilet, wash basin, and bathtub or shower.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Excellent! I wish I had taken pics when my tub backed up with sewerage, and it took them three days to come and fix it. It had reached the rim of the tub by the time they got to it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sweet. Zombie. Jesus. Is your apartment built over an Indian burial ground?

Allyson, you can also report your landlord to the Department of Building Inspection.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Strega, I'll put the original on my list. Malcolm McDowell and Nastassja Kinski being unsexy. Quite the achievement.
Allyson! Go stick to them. Stick it to The Man.
Kristin, did the name of your old school start with an A?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
New Hustle tonight, that started with Danny and Michael being nekkid together, and ended with them hugging and telling each other that they loved each other.
Why is there no slash, and how can we get Dana and Shrift to fix it?
