Prairiegirl, this is how I look at it when I realize I could have looked a little bit more before I leaped. I just chalk the money I spent on the item up as tuition in the School of Hard Knocks. If it makes you feel any better, you can always take a piece of paper, write down everything you've learned from buying this machine, and at the top write Syllabus. It will still be cheaper than any college class you can take, so you're at least getting a good deal there!! See? Silver lining Found!
If this doesn't work, maybe a glass of wine will.
