My frugal lifestyle
Is much like my use of commas. A couple weeks ago my husband pulled out some keys to clean them off but we ended up losing our comma key. Now in order to use a comma, I have to grab the nearest pencil and poke it down into the hole the button used to sit in. I have to weigh my need for commas with my desire to spend as little effort as I can creating them. It's very similar to the way I shop... "Do I really need another comma?"

I swear I know how to spell frugal.
My daughter walked up and was all "Furgal? What does furgal mean?" I thought she was just reading it wrong.

Well, on the other hand, of course, sometimes commas are nice, if they are not too much trouble, if you know what I mean!
But I'd abandon them too if I had to use a pencil.Donna

You could break off a key that you use even less than the comma key and pop it into the comma spot.

I would substitute a semicolon. I have always found it to be an attractive punctuation but hard to find the perfect spot for.

This thread is just too funny! I agree with the above post just rip of a key that you rarely use and use it - the square bracket is hardly ever used.

How about the button next to the #1? What does anyone use that for anyway? Oh, by the way I didn't mean the 2.
Furgal....it does make you giggle to say it and for some reason it makes me think of the muppets.

I personally love the key next to the #1 ~ I think it is like a pretty little dash~ much prettier than an ordinary dash- don't you think. I think it's ok to just skip the ,'s .
Furgal huh? Does this gal wear fur coats? I'll bet she stays warm even when the heat is turned way down...................very Frugal if I do say so myself

Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

LOL! You know you are serious about frugality (or is that furgality) when you can find an analogy in your keyboard issues.
