Whooowee, 2023 was a challenging learning experience and I am so happy to enter into the New Year with an open heart, open thighs, cheeks, and an open mind. Don’t get me wrong, my guards are still way up but I do think that my fight or flight response has calmed down and I’m not in survival mode anymore. I’m just coming out of it, thank the Goddess and black Baby Jesus.
When it comes to New Years I often hear people say, “No regrets!” Well, I’m not one of those people. I have regrets and 2023 had 3 (off the top of my head) that I absolutely regret. One of them was looking for income by renting a room in my home. Whooowee, that is a regret. And although my mortgage is going up this year because my taxes are reported to go up, I’m not willing to give up that peace and quiet in my home for a few dollars. NOPE, learned my lesson with regrets.
Survival mode fucking sucks and there’s so many of us that live on its edge, if not within its scary and suffocating borders. That’s one of the reasons why I write, it’s my healthy outlet. Yup, there are many not so healthy ones that are out there, but I don’t want to fuck around with those anymore. They are in my past and like 2023 I’d like to leave it in my past.
Instead of letting sleeping dogs lie, I wanted to talk about a couple things from 2023 and make sure that if you are a reader (and it’s sooo cute to come to realize there are a few readers- eeeeee! Xoxo), that you had all the information should you ever come across any of the same issues, specifically evicting someone from your home.
Quick recap, wrongfully terminated from a job I loved (harassment/retaliation/ADA violation etc etc etc), cancer scare, hook up online gone scary (friend of one of the harassers at that job), and then a crazy af roommate from hell. I want to talk about the roommate from hell for just a minute. I own my part in all of these things but the wrongdoing wasn’t from me.
I haven’t received any recent harassing emails or any additional fake emails or texts from “The Advocate”, but I did get a “.” the other day and that was a surprise because I thought I blocked that borderline bitch. I didn’t respond because I’m just glad that he is out of my home and peace and love fills these walls once again. The only reason I wanted to bring him up is because if you followed any of the previous blogs about squatters here in Palm Springs, I didn’t give you ALL the information you needed to succeed and get those icky bitches out of your home. I want you to succeed because this city has more than its share of
I just want to make sure that I point you in the right direction should you ever find yourself living in one these real life horror story moments. Around Thanksgiving of 2023 I received a subpoena from the Palm Springs Courthouse, and I was surprised. But this was my fault for not asking additional questions and thinking that I was understanding the instructions and statements of the Honorable Commissioner.
See the Commissioner stated to Crazy Corns or Liesamosmelli (same person) that we were going to combine the cases and they would be heard that day. I assumed this also meant the Unlawful Detainer portion of case (this was in addition to a protective order I filed against him and he against me). Yes, I said he filed one against me too because I don’t’ want to mislead anyone. Those are the facts.
Sooooo, it did not include the Unlawful Detainer petition I filed to get him out of my home. The subpoena was for me answer or respond to the court as to why I failed to ask for a jury trial or have the judge make a ruling in this matter. “. If the tenant does respond, either side can ask for a trial where a judge or jury will decide.”
Realizing that I filed to do that I wanted to address the court. And adorable little Rhonda Rae was right there by my side to support me. I stressed the fuck out. The worry of my error caused me to have nightmares about that crazy bitch all night. And those had gone away.
Like all other court dates I’ve had (previous jobs), I prepared. I brought my lengthy court report with all my evidence and the petition asking for a jury trial or for the judge to decide should I have to. The judge was kind and listened to the apology I offered the court for misunderstanding his direction. I did update the court letting him know that Crazy Corns did move out and how happy I was to have my home back. He then expressed the purpose of the Unlawful Detainer to evict someone and recoup any money that was lost or request payment for damages caused by a tenant. He asked specifically if there was damage to my home and I said there was but I would gladly eat the costs (scratched floors, cleaning, storage, broken doors, etc) if I could leave this bitch in 2023. Of course, I didn’t say the word bitch to the judge but I’m assuming he knows how I felt.
He granted my request and vacated the Unlawful Detainer I filed without prejudice. So I take this as a learning lesson that I can share with you, should you ever find yourself living with Jason Voorhees. The next step I should have taken, since said person did respond to the court, was to submit a petition to the court asking for a jury trial. Here is the form https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/ud150.pdf
This week I get to support another homeowner in their fight to evict one of Crazy Corn’s buddies. When Crazy Corns lived here he asked if this buddy could move in here too, “Because you like old guys.” So glad I said no, boy did I dodge a bullet with that one.
Just to clarify, this is the home where Crazy Corns moved from when he moved to my home. Before he left that space, he moved someone into that home; who has yet to pay rent for months. The owner of the home is in the process of evicting him through an Unlawful Detainer.
I overheard conversations Crazy Corns had with this other bum talking about how to prepare and document things to sue his landlord. I find it disgusting that people would try to take something that doesn’t belong to them because they lie, cheat, steal and don’t want to stop drinking long enough to get a job.
Look, I’m the first one to say life is hard, but I never imagined I’d have to look for enemies within the safety of our cock sucking enclave, that’s nuts. Or at least I’m realizing that I was nuts to not know that it would be as prevalent as it is here. Hurt people hurt people. Our community is full of hurt people. And if someone is drinking themselves oblivious every day and they haven’t earned the right to do so with retirement, then there’s hurt there somewhere or they are just dark evil souls that want to take, take and take from you and me.
I wish the homeowner luck at court this week and I plan on being there to support him and will share my story and experience with the judge if needed. I did over hear a few conversations they had when Crazy Corns lived here and I’m sure the judge would like to hear about it. We should support each other more and show up more like this for each other; and be more like Rhonda Rae just by showing up.
Which leads me to say, aaaah my little old Rhonda Rae is slowing down even more. I think that he is entering into a new and perhaps the last phase of his life. We’ve gone out a couple times this last week and he’s so tired and weak that he doesn’t even drink and this is a retired, earned my right to drink to oblivion cocktail having old lady.
If it is his last year, I’ll be sad but shit he’s lived a long life and had the love of his life in his husband of many years. I hope I’m so lucky. I hope that its just the dental work he recently had done that has wiped him out but it reads as a change. I do tell that ol’ crusty bitch that I love him and I hope you tell your friends that you love them too. Especially if they old af and might not be here tomorrow.
So now that we are in 2024- I wish you all the joy, love, and peace a happy homo can have. (Below I’ll include the court info so you know what is expected of you should you need to evict a bitch.)
Welcoming 2024 With Wide OPEN Extremities,
The Happy Homo

How the eviction process works
This is a summary of the eviction process. A landlord must meet many legal requirements before they can ask for a court order that says their tenant must move out. There are step-by-step instructions at the bottom of this page with more details.
The landlord gives the tenant a written Notice to do something by a deadline
For example, a Notice might say to fix a problem or move out by a certain date. The deadlines can be very short, like 3 days, or months.
The Landlord starts an eviction case in court
If the tenant doesn’t do what the Notice says by the deadline, the landlord can file an eviction case (called an unlawful detainer). The landlord must have a copy of the court papers delivered (served) to the tenant.
The tenant has a few days to file a response in court
If the tenant doesn’t respond by the deadline, the landlord can file papers asking a judge to decide the case without their input. If the tenant does respond, either side can ask for a trial where a judge or jury will decide.
The judge makes a decision
If the landlord wins, they can ask the judge for papers that tell the sheriff to evict the tenants. The sheriff will post a Notice to Vacate and the tenant has time to move out.
PSS How to ask for a trial date
If your tenant files and serves you with an Answer, file a Request to Set Case for Trial-Unlawful Detainer (form UD-150) at the clerk’s office if you want to move your case forward.
You also have to serve the tenant by mail with a copy of the Request and have the server fill out the proof of service on the back of the Request form.
The court clerk will then mail you a letter with your trial date.
PSSS Later I’ll tell you a little bit more about what I’m up to in 2024.
PSSSS I fucking threw my back out moving a concrete bird bath. Who knew they were so fucking heavy? Ugh. My intention setting for the new year in one word is healthy. What’s yours? And by healthy, I mean go back to the gym, get back on a healthy diet and do things that bring me more joy, love, and peace. But for right now I’m a whiny little bitch. Ouch.
PSX5 Now that I’ve shared how to finish your court case I hope we can let sleeping dogs lie with Crazy Corns. But if not I’m ready for that too.
