I would check out Illinois’ Lemon law?

Too late for that. But it turns out – we think – by total luck they finally figured out what the problem was: it appears that prior to arriving at the dealership in the beginning, some rodent chewed partway through some wires inside a nearly 100% closed junction box, and no one thought to open it up and look in there. It just happened that a mechanic was moving the box out of the way while the car was hooked up to the sensors, and the computer started to beep a warning. Fingers crossed it never happens again!

Yep, she had a panic attack when I sent her the actual amount of money she owes monthly. Not to me, but wells Fargo. I inadvertently helped create a 35 year old financial baby.
I am no longer enabling. I will continue to be kind and generous, but I think I’ve finally learned that equitable give and take is essential. I can’t be someone’s patron indefinitely and lead a happy life.
With that in mind, a few of you know one of my plans. Let’s go all get rich together.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, but you’ve shown a lot of strength over the past year. I hope you are able to find closure and move on, as hard as it is. Here’s a fledgling that’s probably having a worse day though - it probably fell out of its nest in today’s storm, and its mother hasn’t come to pick it up yet. Fortunately we had an abandoned nest from last year that it could crash in, but it still looks pretty pissed off at the world:

Fsk Today. Fsk it with a chainsaw.
BK: I have CNCP & I’m an HDO patient. So every time anything Oxy related happens, it poses a threat to my quality of life because I’m an outlier- I’m that little pip outside the comfort zone of the bell curve who takes high doses of Oxy, doesn’t get high from it, doesn’t abuse it - to me it’s just the medication that allows me to live some semblance of a normal life. Like hold a job.
Recently: the Dr that’s been doing my pain management- which is really hard to find because the DEA has a total mad-on for PM Doc’s because of the current “Oxy Epidemic” where the US.gov tends to just lump Oxy & Heroin together like there isn’t a damn bit of difference between someone who takes a medication as prescribed for a legit medical necessity vs someone chasing a high through the eye of a needle. In the fed’s eyes, we are one in the same. Their mad-on is so fierce that my PM Doc is now currently sitting in jail because one of his patients started selling his Rx. How a Dr can control what you do once you leave his office is beyond me, but it’s the same logic that says Heroin and Oxy are identical, yet Oxy (S2) is safer/better than grass (S1). WTF?
Since I was one of his patients, I’m now radioactive and under investigation by-proxy. Oh, and my patient records have also been seized & I have no way of accessing them.
Today: My surgeon (I may be having up to a dozen surgeries this year) agreed to help me with pain mgmt. it started with a reduction to see how well I tolerated it (once I hit 50% I was suicidal from the pain, the unending, unrelenting, unimaginable, indescribable pain - it’s psychologically exhausting to be in high levels of pain without cessation) but now I have to be taken off the Oxy and put onto six !SIX! other pain mgmt medications because it is “just too risky to have me as a patient”. I’ve never had a single instance of “seeker” or “abusive” behavior- ever. Don’t matter. All that matters is the current political climate & the fact that our local DA has been given a mandate to prosecute local doctors. Think about that for a second. Not to investigate, but to find cases that can be closed in order to show that legal action is being taken.
Simply due to happenstance, I’m on the receiving end of it too. Now I get to take medications that are going to trash my liver & kidneys, make me sick, make me miss work and be less effective all because Tricky Dick hated hippies and to this day we simply don’t have the political will to undo that rectal-cranial-inversion that is The War on Drugs, despite all the lives ruined and zero progress made.
So fsk today, cuz I don’t know what happens next. Fsk it cuz today is my last day of “normalcy”. Fsk it cuz the chronic pain isn’t enough, that I have to be subjected to stigma and prejudice and have the ineptitude of the .gov come between me and my healthcare. Fsk the DEA & DA for making doctors afraid to care for their patients.
I didn’t choose any of this, yet I’m the one who had to spit out teeth the other morning because the pain was so intense I had clenched my teeth hard enough while sleeping to crack 'em. Woke up with what I thought was gravel in my mouth. NOPE! Teeth 
. I now have to sleep with a mouthpiece in like a football player - just so I don’t crack my teeth again. And… ROFLMAO 
that is actually the least of m fsk’n y worries hahahaaa
Think on that & then ask me if today isn’t complete and irredeemable shite.
I can tell you. It’s shite, it’s absolute FUCKING SHITE!

Cheers for that @anon50609448, @nothingfuture & @anon61221983 - it’s days like these where my fellow Mutants really are the thin and final line between Hope & the Abyss.

Glad to hear we can do a little to help out, even if we can’t do much.

I’ll be honest, when everyone you’ve ever loved is dead & you’re at the end of your rope and the world is fraying your last nerve - it really is the little things that count.

I’m wondering if the folks on this page should reach out to the camera crew who has to follow the Kardashian’s 24/7.

I kind of feel silly posting this after @jamesnsc’s comment, because this is trivial.
I just got ‘upgraded’ to Office 2013. So this complaint is brought to you from the year 2012.
Fuck me, this is ugly software. Too much whitespace, and all the text is so big! (and thanks so much for not maintaining any of the Office 2010 documents I had pinned, that’s really helped today).
