Typing special characters on laptops varies by machine, but there is some commonality. On my Think Pad, you must first set the numeric lock, which is found by holding shift and pressing ScrLk. Then, hold <alt> and type three digits using the numeric keypad overlaid on the keyboard:

789 = 789

UIO = 456

JKL = 123

M = 0

For example, 238 generates ε and 064 generates @. φ is 237; some characters with codes in the range 000 to 031 may not be possible depending on the machine and other settings.

G'Morning, Psills!

Hey! 4 - 2 Team USA! Mygawd, but youse Yanks are gonna win yet another gold, this time in hockey. A fantastic, smart team -- better than Canada's, methinks... .. . I really do hope that they meet again, though, in the medal round, as last night's was SUCH an exciting hockey game.

I want us all to ditch significant others and rent a HUGE boat for a week. The Psilly Cruise 2010. Don't even care what body of water we're on.

Yep, lunch or sump'n when you're here.

Just got back from the PCP. He was very nice. Agreed to run any test I had a good reason to run. As a result, I had to leave them about half a gallon of blood. Got to pee in a cup too!!! :P Gave me a copy of the path report from my endo - complete & utter destruction with lots of different cytosis. To heal in 7-10 like GI said is a miracle (not sure whose report he was looking at). Fortunately, my PCP said I didn't have to see him again unless we needed another procedure. He also said that a handfull of Fritos a day can't hurt. Like this guy.

Just a quick poop in as I am pooped! Disco party was hee-larious. Kurt was completely surprised. I boogied till I couldn't boogey no more and despite not drinking a drop (of alkeehol) I had a hangover yesterday (yeah-lyme does that). But worth every ounce of energy as phun was had by all.

For the record, I will cral in the back of Em's car or boat, luggage, go to Texass or OBX if I can! I'm teaching 2 courses this summer- June 1st through mid-Agust but after that hubby and I are aiming for Seattle/Vancouver. But we'll see- keeping fingers

OK, reality check time: Max and I at the grocery store, lady in her 80's barking order after order to her husband and she sounds just horribly mean!!!

Max says, "Mommy, did you see that lady over there?!"

I said, "Shhhhh, yes I saw her."

Max said, "She sounds JUST like you!! Do this, Do that, Come here, Move that, Pick this up.....Did you hear her, don't you think she sounds Just like you???!!!" :o :o

Mortification sets in. Now I feel like I'm gonna cry. I vow to be better from now on--I WILL NOT TURN INTO THAT LADY!!!!! :(

It's all fine, Rahshyellle! That ol' lady was NOT barking orders at her kids, but at her husband. This is acceptable... .... expected, even.

Yeah, Rai-schell.....it's also very possible that the gentleman was hard of hearing and she had to raise her voice to talk to him so it just seemed like she was yelling at him. :)

WIH???? It's after one in the afternoon here and no posts :unsure:

Had a doctor's appt this morning--and results from the labs taken last week. Dang liver enzymes are elevated again :angry: Doctor is majorly pissed because she couldn't find the pile of records I brought wif me last summer at me phirst appt......

On the positive side--get this--my total cholesterol plummeted from 305 to 212 :o In 9 months!!!!

Was almost late to my appt (glad I left here a wee bit early)....there was a bad accident involving a pick up truck and a tree on the winding road that's the only way I know of to get there--traffic was held up for over 20 minutes after I got there, who knows how long before that. Such a mess that they had to tow a car away before the ambulance could get out. Hope the person who was taken to the hospital is gonna be ok :(

And.........most importantly.......

Happy Birfday, Ray-schell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone :) I've got the sugar-shakes now. Twill only be veggies for me for the rest of the day! :P DD's home puking her guts out, so hubby will NOT be baking anything for me....which is a good thing on many levels ;)

THIS, is completely unacceptable! It's a big tease, everything starts to bloom and then BAM! all the flowers, etc... are ruined! For the last 4 days here, it's been 60 in the afternoon and 32 overnight :blink:

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      The practical takeaway: "For people who care about celiac disease, especially families who have children at higher risk, the findings highlight the importance of self-advocacy." It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Help understand results

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease...

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
