| Dim Witte <dakadldo2@gmail.com>: Oct 07 10:49AM -0700 Because I like the idea of economy, I picked up on a conversation at a forum about how to restore faded letters on keyboards. Lots of differing advice about using clear adhesive tape and typed letters, but I happen to have on hand a couple tools that might be used to rescue your old keyboard. One tool is a plastic letter maker by Helix that has all the letters, numbers and symbols, the same size as on a keyboard. Looks like one could simply place the form on top of a keyboard letter and ink/paint in following the form. A second tool that seems useful is an available white paint that's quick drying and not too expensive, $1.98. Beaducation would probably be available at cosmetic and other specialty shops, good because it's priced way less than others. If you're up to it, probably could try cleaning your key, etching in the letter to clean in, then free-handing in the white paint. Right now I simply have the letters N and M repaired by putting some sticky paper on the keys and writing in the letters. |

OTOH, the letters on the keys of my 1992 Model M keyboard are as pristine as the day they came out of the factory. I bought every Model M I could find at a yard sale. I feel sorry for people who don't have one. -- Cheers, Bev There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' |

If you like taking tax $ and sending them to for profit insurance companies. Advantage plans cost the taxpayers significantly more than real Medicare. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/11/11/1054281885/medicare-advantage-overcharges-exploding |

These clowns can't tell the difference between frugal, overspending and/or poor planning. Since when are "candy, chips, and soda" cheap food? Price per ounce/pound is high for just junk. Who stresses about being frugal? It is the overspenders who have all the stress about their mounting debts. Putting off home repairs isn't frugal, it is stupid. "You're not investing" What does this have to do with being frugal? This is very stupid. "You're buying sale items you don't need" What frugal person does this? This is overspender behavior. "You don't prioritize everyday items" What does this have to do with being frugal? Frugal people spend more for things that last longer than cheap junk does. "You're stockpiling too many items" What frugal person does this? This is overspender behavior. "You don't have financial goals" What does this have to do with being frugal? This is a personal defect and usually found in overspenders. |
