As in Merry Andrew's french 'C' with the do-hickey on the bottom....
Cav -- in the case of the c-cum-cedilla (ç), you depress the 'alt' key on your PC. Holding it down, type 0231 on your right-hand key-pad,
et voilá. (You get the á by typing 0225.)

å - ahem - I got that by doing the c thingy!
When shall we see Cedilla vs. Godzilla? Not soon methinks...
You get å by typing 0229, Deb. If you got it with 0231, your keyboard is terribly confused. I would suggest deep therapy.
I get NOTHING by typing 0229, Merry. Deep therapy is, indeed, indicated.
Makes doohickeys if you press alt down, apparently...
Moan mode: Brief.
Waaaaah! The smeggers who were supposed to come this weekend to remove my superfluous pots from my balcony are nowhere in sight - and it is Sunday 4.15 pm!!!! I am in the midst of a cleaning/throwing away frenzy, and it is killing me not to be able to MOVE on that job - feel like throwing 'em over the rails!
AND - I heaved (at the expense of my back) a large pot into an even larger one - to see how that plant looked in the big pot. Now - I have realised there is no way I can hove it out again - so I will have to wait for another non-buggered back to happen by - perhaps the pot removers...hmmmm? And I cannot afford the screen I need to hide away the "working" elements of the balcony - like the tools and the cat litter tray - so that is a pain, too .....and now I can barely walk - even if it wasn't beginning to rain just when I was about to go on my walk...waaaaaaah!
Moan mode disengaged... Ahem - where were we?
Ise gonna go start a thread about a much easier way to type french-fried doohickies using an english keyboard... be back soonish
Thankee Monger!!!!!!!!
What a HELPFUL garrulous gorilla you are....or nun wiv a gun...or other stuff...
PS: The terrorists be using rabbits now...
Ravenous Rabbits Threaten Chicago Trees
Oh my!!!! Did not a brave cousin of mine attempt to destroy Reagan once?
Are we gonna get an umlaut? I soooooo want an umlaut...
""They're like miniature bison," Joel Brown, a University of Illinois-Chicago biology professor, said of the rabbits' grazing habits. "
They sound like MY type of wabbits....
Simple solution for the Chicagoans: bring in an extended family of bobcats. Rabbits will disappear by the boatload. And when they're gone, the cats will move on to Indiana, having exhausted their supper supply.
(Wasn't there a surfeit of rabbits in Oz in the not too distant past? Little kids were clubbing them to death for the bounty and all?)
And I suspect a surfeit will arise again soon - when the kaleci (Sp?) virus generates sufficient immunity.
Our feral cats seem to spurn bunnies, and concentrate on rare and endangered natives...
Mike feral used to M.A.S.H. the wabbits.
Lest you think I'm being hare-brained, I have personal experience in this field. When I acquired a piece of real estate deep in the woods of New Hampshire back in the 60s, the woods were overrun by rabbits. Destroyed my feeble attempts at vegetable gardening, damaged the flower beds. I bore it patiently because, well, dammit, they were cute. Then some lynx-type bobcats came around. Cute in a different way. Also ravenous. By the time I forsook my deep-woods hideaway in the late 90s, there were neither rabbits nor bobcats to be seen any more. The cats had destroyed their own food supply and moved on.
