I'm about to change the subject here momentarily, and address the computer brainiacs in our midst (Peter? Ptaum? Janet?):

The visual field on my laptop is suddenly much smaller, i.e., pages will not all fit...I have to scroll across and then back to read all of the sentences. Now, this very likely has everything to do with the chaos of our current two-posts-out universe--I mean, coincidences just do not happen--but whatever the cause, I cannot fix it back. It's like the pages have been blown up a little, and they don't all fit on my screen. WHAT'S GOING ON? This is more than a Magic Triangle fix, I can just feel it...... :huh::rolleyes:

I jus' don' unnerstann' computers......

Emily--

Something like this happened to me the other night--I have Vista, and at the bottom right of the screen, somehow the size changed from 100% to 125% and the page didn't fit anymore.

GAH!!! The same thing is happening to me! Just started yesterday I think. I have to scroll over a little every time a new page loads because the words run off on the right a little bit. <_<

Just ran up and checked the desk top that has XP--look at the bottom right just over where the time is. It should say 100% with an arrow beside it that drops down other %'s.

Gotta go get dinner--hope that helped :)

What Patti is referring to is in Internet Explorer. I don't normally use it; I use Mozilla Firefox for most things. I haven't seen a problem with Firefox, but I just used IE to look at the board, and noticed that I had horizontal scroll bars. I reduced it to 88% and they went away.

In IE, pressing <ctrl>+ will zoom the view in, <ctrl>- will zoom out. You can do this by accident. Or your cat can do it for you. :lol:

Oh, Peter! I use Firefox, too.....and I have the horizontal scroll bar....that's what I have to use to read the sentences in full! Bizarre.....I don't seem to have Patti's magic percentage arrow, either...... :(

Wait....I'll try the IE trick with CNTRL -............

Hmmmmmm......nope.

I'll keep trying. Carry on!!

Patti, you mentioned that Broncobux had a Celiac group at MySpace....do you know if he still has one? I couldn't find any celiac group actually, but maybe I am not searching in the right place.

Are you going away for you Dad's b-day party, or was it an anniversary (I can't remember) that you were asking about invitations in another thread?

Bev, the Cape?? I wish we had things like that out west. The Cape sounds so exciting, like royalty, will you be lunching with the Kennedy's? HAVE FUN!

Julie,

I don't know if the Celiac group is still active. For the life of me, I can't remember much about it to give you a clue as to what to look for. I'm drawing a blank, I'm afraid. This was quite a while ago.

Yes--it's my dad's birthday party tomorrow :)

That's ok Patti, thanks for trying.

I don't see any sign of any group related to celiac, the groups do come and go so maybe Broncobux's group is no longer. It would have been fun to see if some of the older members of the forum who don't come around anymore were in that group.

Happy Birthday to your dad. What an amazing thing to celebrate! 80 years :D

What exactly is the difference between Facebook and Myspace? Are they not essenially the same thing?

Emily, I would say yes they are basically the same thing. Both are social networking websites.

They might vary a little with the features that are offered, like with MySace you can put music up on your page and videos, I'm not sure if you can do that with Face book.

OMGawd--that is so funny!!!! :lol:

Wow--I'm really glad that you found the % thingy--I shoulda thought to tell you about it, but it never dawned on me. The only reason I even thought of it for Emily is because mine somehow switched over recently and I couldn't see the edges.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      The Kiss of Death: How My Romantic Life Suffered after being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Bravely spoken. My son was only 2 years old when diagnosed, and certainly felt challenged by being different, and had behavior issues. A pediatrician who had treated many celiac kids once remarked at a seminar that even with behavior challenges in their youth, the celiac kids grew up by college age with great resources inside themselves for handling peer...

My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take a leaf out of his book, and now, for the second time, after just one Phizz Electrolyte Drink, and a dose of vitamin D (Fultium D 800 x 4) with a milkshake, my ectopics disappeared within the hour.   Probably the Phizz drink rather than the D with calcium, but maybe it all helped?  Just mentioning this in case anyone is looking for answers.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      By Russ H · Posted

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.
