Thanks Michael.
Yes, I do realize that I probably need to build a
completely different system, but for now, I just
have to find ways to keep my old system working.
Now, after a reboot, I have most everything working
again, but for now, I mainly just need to find out
how to unlock Libre Office documents.

This is why I stopped using physical partitions and LVM instead
entirely.
If you fill your physical partition, it really doesn't like it, and
all hell breaks loose, as you see. Boot from a boot cd, clear some
space, and reboot.
Start with "sudo du -h --max-depth=1", figure out what is filling your
disk, and delete some. Reboot. Usually logs, updates, packages, etc
cruft - kill it all.
When it's sane, move to a more agreeable FS structure, use LVM, I can
fill a disk and stay up, much less impact if/when this occurs.
I break /var and /var/log into separate partitions always, these are
typically what fill and break. Keep them separate with LVM's, much
happier to recover if any one fills up. I normally keep /usr with
debians separate too, but arch installs hate this. Also I keep /home
separate, as I fill this commonly, which breaks anything running in
userland if/when occurring.
Funny, I do this because this is how we installed solaris this way
with slices like +20-some years ago to not blow up, but
over-simplification these days ignores fun facts like these.

Yesterday, I did another update on my Linux Mint 17 system
and today numerous things that previously worked fine
no longer work, including Libre Office.
And, I now see that all the space on sda1 is filled
so I have zero space available.
Also, I tried to download a pdf file which should have
gone to sda6 and I got a message "No space available."
What can I do to remedy this nightmare?
I am willing to pay for help if one of my PLUG
friends would be willing to help me fix this.
