My dad's cargo van broke down. He needs it for his job, which is delivering pharmaceuticals to kmart and other places with pharmacies in them. For a week he'd been renting a van, but his boss told him that he couldn't keep doing that. So for a week solid he was out looking at every car lot in town for a cargo van, but his credit was so bad he couldn't get one financed.

He finally got one, and it was way more than he ever wanted to pay because it was a brand new van instead of a used one, but at least he could continue working in it. The car lot just called and said they needed it back. I don't even know how that happens that you can sell someone a car and they drive away and use it for a week, putting 1000 miles on the damn thing, and then you call and say you need it back.

So now we're pretty much fucked I guess. Dad isn't going to have a job because he can't find a cargo van. Places have offered minivans and trucks and all kinds of other shit, but the fact is he needs a fucking cargo van.

Oh and technically my dad is considered self-employed which apparently means no unemployment insurance when he stops working. This is because the company he works for doesn't want to have to actually have any responsibility regarding its drivers.

Fuck I'm stressed. I have no idea what to do. I'm not afraid of being homeless - I've got people I could live with if I really needed to. But this is bad. This is really fucking bad.

Fuck.

Keep the car. They sold it to your dad, it's his car now.

Yeah, seriously what the fuck.

TA · « **Reply #2623 on:** March 01, 2012, 04:14:39 PM »

Find out why they need it back. This might be a safety recall issue.

Malikial · « **Reply #2624 on:** March 01, 2012, 05:25:49 PM »

Yeah basically. Unless it's leased and there are violations he should be able to keep it.

NexAdruin · « **Reply #2625 on:** March 01, 2012, 06:09:35 PM »

I guess the sale wasn't finalized even though they let him have the car for a week. He doesn't have the title and if he kept the car it'd probably be car theft or some shit.

It isn't a safety issue, it's a we-can't-get-financed-through-any-bank-anywhere issue.

I woke up to a phone call at 10am that my mother was in the hospital downtown due to a severe infection around the area on her breast that they cut open to get at the cancer. They have no idea about any of it beyond "infection."

My uncles results are in and it's middle grade lymphoma cancer. I have no way to describe what I'm feeling beyond there's really nothing I can do to help except talk to him. This really sucks.

The sinking realization that if I hadn't found a way to break my own debilitating fever, I would have had nobody to call for help except an ambulance.

Also my mainline internet seems borked for no apparent reason, which is just adding insult to massive splitting dehydration headache.

Do these still count as First World Problems? My perspective is so fucked these days.

I think I might have fleas.

Stush · « **Reply #2630 on:** March 18, 2012, 05:22:17 PM »

Oh no, fleas suck! I had to deal with those a while back, I think they're gone now. Just shower like a crazy person and wash all your clothes every chance you get, and hopefully you'll get rid of them! If not, you might have to bomb them.

Ugh, sounds like it's wash-every-piece-of-fabric-you-own-while-also-spraying-down-your-whole-apartment time.

As I understand it, fleas are functionally invulnerable to murder during about a quarter of their life cycle. So you need to do murder on them day in and day out for upwards of a week, or the fraction that was murder-proofed will just come ot life and seek blood meals and ruin everything.

On the "plus side" they're generally not fans of human blood like some parasites. So at least it's unlikely that you're "contagious".

I have a huge cyst on my ass.

This shit hurts and if it does not go away by thursday they're going to have to surgically remove it.

A² · « **Reply #2634 on:** March 26, 2012, 02:29:55 PM »

There's no shame in getting asscystence for things like that.

stop being so butthurt about it goddamn

A² · « **Reply #2636 on:** March 26, 2012, 02:32:42 PM »

See, I considered "Pain in the ass" and "butthurt" to be a low-hanging fruit there.

You want low-hanging joke fruit? I'll give you low-hanging joke fruit...

I had a huge lipoma in my ass for years, it was like a chunk of gravel in my asscheek. Wasn't a big deal but any pressure made me notice it and it was annoying. Eventually I asked for it to be removed.

When the operation was done, they showed it to me. It was an irregular shape, about an inch in diameter and was shaped almost exactly like this:
