I am very sorry that you are dealing with this faith. I don’t remember this; or maybe you hadn’t posted it on this thread.
I know very little to nothing about the legal system. I am sorry that a matter that was dismissed can be refiled.
I had someone rear end me on the freeway many years ago. It was clearly their fault. They sued me. I don’t even really remember what their rationale was. They were not injured. I was not injured. My car was totaled. Theirs was too. After about 2 years of very stressful depositions, they settled with my insurance company for a few hundred dollars. My insurance company bothered to fight it because they said it was so clearly not my fault. I don’t see how this was worth it for them, and the stress it caused me was really ... well stressful.
I doubt that made you feel any better, but I am just trying to let you know that I am sorry and empathize with you, faith_ann.
@faith_ann Ugh. I think I remember now. It had to do with your dirt ball landlord. I am sorry that you are dealing with this, again.

I wrongly thought he wasn’t this much of an idiot.
The first attempt was claiming we had overstayed the year lease. This was dismissed because there was clear communication that once the year lease had ended, we had become month to month tenants.
This second attempt is claiming we did not move out after a 60 day notice. The 60 day notice stated tenancy was being terminated due to money owed, which was not true*, and therefore the notice was not valid. We responded to that, got ignored, continued hand delivering rent 45 minutes away (one time resulting in the car accident, so it keeps getting better) and two months later, now he’s suing.
* During the first trial the landlord confirmed that he returned our rent for the month (weeks later), closed the account, and wouldn’t accept further payment. You can’t then claim rent was unpaid and use that as the reason to kick someone out when you refused rent.
It’s also considered a retaliatory eviction attempt because there are multiple city code violations (rat infestation that existed prior to our tenancy, illegal water heater leaking gas, among other things). The house doesn’t even legally have any rental market value in this condition. The first time the landlords lawyer actually requested that the habitability of the house not be considered, which was odd because that didn't exactly put his client in the best light?
It’ll be the same judge so I think it’ll be fine for us, but it’s really stressful and I don’t exactly have all this extra money to put into it. I’d obviously love to move but it’s so hard to find a place. I’d like to move out of SD but that’s not easy, either.
This was long. Sorry. I sometimes ramble when I’m having a breakdown.

You can refile if it's dismissed without prejudice. It wasn't really a matter that could be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it couldn't be filed ever again.
Two years for a few hundred dollars? I'm sorry. That's ridiculous.
Got it.
It was ridiculous. I give my insurance company credit for fighting it on my behalf. It probably wasn’t worth the time and effort though.
How about is it December yet? because I can't take this weather. I spent too much time in the sun at Comic Con and ever since any additional sun feels like my bones are being slow cooked. I have two air conditioners, two overhead fans, and two floor fans going and I'm still hot. I could complain about this forever. It. Is. Too. Hot. Make. It. Stop.
@ElainePG you'll be pleased to hear I returned the Flub-A-Dub snapshot bag. I stand by it looking cool
but size wise it was very impractical.
I made a better decision by trading a pink MBMJ wristlet for a black Mercer tote AND making a whole $4.
I used this $4 to buy 4 waters because IT IS TOO HOT.

December sounds good. But then I would be behind on my Christmas shopping....as per usual.
I would love to go to Comic Con! My sister lives in Seattle and goes to the Emerald City Comic Con every year. She invites fiancé and I ever year but we haven’t been able to get the timing right. Maybe next year...

I still haven't done my 2006 Christmas shopping.
I didn't have a badge this year but since I live in downtown SD, I did the outdoor stuff. Game of Thrones wasn't there this year so there wasn't much around that I was interested in, though.
Everyone who wants to go to SDCC should at least go once. Sleep overnight to get into Hall H. Stand in line for 8 hours to get something for free you can sell for $500. Wake up at 5am so you can get into Ballroom 20 at 10am and suffer in a crowded room with insufficient AC through panels you aren't interested in so you can see the one you are interested in at 2pm. On the first day, you'll wonder why you're doing this to yourself. You'll do it for three more days. The $6 water they sell is lukewarm and you've watched too many people eat nachos with cheese. You'll feel nauseous for about a week after it's over because you waited in lines for a total of 25 hours with 5,000 people who haven't showered in 90 degree weather by a harbor that smells like sewage.
You'll still go the next year because you secretly hate yourself.
The Mercer tote is gorgeous. Poor Flub-A-Dub.How about is it December yet? because I can't take this weather.

Sounds like heaven!
It's a wonder I don't write tourism ads.
I would like to think that Flub-A-Dub is waiting for me until it's marked down to $35.
I highly recommend the Mercer. It's structured, lightweight, and I like that it's separated into three compartments.
