My ___ key is broken!!!

I just discovered that the letter key just below the "a" and the "s" on my Qwerty keyboard doesn't work!  I hit it.  I get nothing!

So now I can't type compliments like, "You're AMA_ING!"

I can't give advice like, "Quitting makes you tired so go take a snoo_e."

I can't suggest that you reward yourself with a fro_en treat.

I can't reassure folks that, during your early Quit, you might feel like you're in a ha_e.

I can't tell anyone that their great attitude absolutely da__les me!

I'm unable to warn people that boo_e can be detrimental to your Quit.

I can't say "I recogni_e how you are feeling, but that will change eventually" or "I reali_e that it isn't always easy, but it's so worth it!"

I can't even say that not having my _ key is putting me into a fren_y!

I'm not kidding about this, folks.  It really doesn't work.  Does anyone know how to fix a single key that doesn't work all of a sudden???

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
