What a beautiful little thing Chomper is!
I suppose with all that weed he must be a Calmer Chameleon! (Sorry Boy George and Culture Club)

He has definitely has gone up in the world with his new home with you.

I have never heard him before... but I LIKE it!!!

How did the doctors appointment go?
All good I hope, and I also hope they let you know what's going on in work too.

Appointment was great! He is doing perfectly normal now. Have a meeting with the higher officials in Lafayette Friday morning... maybe I’ll know more then!

You have never heard of Boy George?
Are you kidding or serious?

Hello, CDR friends!

The eye surgery went great! It's just amazing that the dr could remove the old lens and replace it...and I have NO pain. My only struggle right now is cramming my glasses on over the patch and shield. Hard to get everything lined up to see with one eye.

They also have a new type of lens to put in that corrects astigmatism. It's good that only my right eye has it, because insurance doesn't pay for the new lens yet. So I had to pay for it [emoji45]. But the vision should be excellent once healed.

I'm sorry I made such a confusion with where my message was posted. For some reason my brain was addled and I posted in the wrong place, then couldn't move it.
@Yvonne G, thank you for putting it here...you did right!

Thank you everyone for the good wishes! I'll post tomorrow on how the eye sees when the patch and shield come off.

And in 3 weeks, the left eye gets done! [emoji2][emoji872]

I always am afraid and watch what I say kind of on TFO. But I'm more afraid of Facebook. I just really watch on TFO more for new members and saying the wrong thing and misleading them. Also I worry about hurting someone's feelings. I can't do Facebook because I just don't like all the drama.

I hear you!

I found bee on utube last night. I'm learning to be resourceful...

Well done. [emoji3]

 

[CarolM]

Well...I did take a new allergy medicine last night...so I won't have to take this other concoction if I lose another pound. Does that mean I've been converted too.

[CarolM]

Er, with rain water?? [emoji33][emoji53]

Well isn't organic supposed to be the in thing nowadays?

 

[CarolM]

You are. Now, enough of this. It’s time to get Sirius.

I concede, You are the winner, as I have nothing to add to this!

Just wanted to let all visitors to the CDR know I might not stop by for a day or 2.

I'm having cataract surgery tomorrow (Wed)! I've been waiting a year for this, and it's finally happening!

So if you see me, it will be out in the warm lit world.

I've arranged with some hedgehogs to ride them like skates since I can't drive. They have promised they will stay close together and not stretch my parts beyond what is bearable...I have not done a split in.....thinking......well, never.

So please, don't let Montgomery fill them full of the fiery liquid tonight? Please?!?

And I'll see you ....when I can see you! [emoji102]

Oh no, I missed you. I hope it went well, and I promise I did not feed the hedgehogs any red bull at all.

Interesting appointment. Mostly because my physio/osteopath doesn’t agree with the hospital - not the first time and she has always been right so far.

She put me through my paces on gym equipment to see what hurt and when and noted a weakness when I tried to stand on tiptoes on the foot on my bad leg. She thinks I have a calf muscle injury in ... she’s reserving judgement on my knee for the moment .

Anyways, I have to wear flight socks to help with the swelling. And I have exercises to do intensively until I see her again next week when she will see where I am. I have to go to the gym and the pool daily for a few days!

Well done and glad your appointment was so positive. Just don't let those socks fly you too far. We like having you around.

The Emerald Isle? Ireland?
That's a long way to go for a weekend!!
I'm sure you must mean a much closer Emerald Isle and hope you have a great time.
Happy May Day to you too! (although the May Day holiday here isn't until next Monday)

We had ours yesterday. It was a lovely break and since I have finished watching all the serious of Star Trek and Lucifer, I started watching The Originals.

 

[CarolM]

Wait! There’s more than ONE Emerald Island? Surrounded by water and lush with green. Say it aint so!

Whahaha, more islands for you too go kayaking!!

Good morning all! And happy May 1st (Mark) [emoji4]... I’m off today for a follow up Dr Appointment with my son. hubby finally got home (after 3 weeks) around 2am this morning so life for EllieMay will be full swing again.. there is some restructuring going on with my Job and my immediate boss is taking a severance package for early retirement. They are eliminating his position. Not sure what that means for me since I was In training to step in his position upon his normal retirement .. phones have been ringing and other officials say they have plans for me but I guess I’ll be the last to know what they are ‍
Oh well, I’ll just keep rolling with the flow I suppose. Happiness is a choice !

Don't you hate that? When people make plans for you and don't include in you in the plan making until the last possible moment. Good Luck Heather and I really hope that it is good things that will happen.

Berlins a nice place to visit, nice food .however when I went to an area that had lots of flats, there was a sign that said..... “you are standing above Hitlers bunker”

On another note... I picked up another critter yesterday evening. Drove to Sulphur Springs Tx and acquired a 6month old male Jackson Chameleon... it took me a while last night setting up his habitat since I had to throw out most of his old things. I believe he spent his preVious life living in a marijuana haze. Tricia pointed out to me that he was View attachment 271180View attachment 271181a very chiiiilllllll little dude.. lol... He was super thirsty and Drank and Drank And Drank... I have been researching for 3 days now in preparation as I have never owned a chameleon before. Previous owners had never named him so he is “Chomper” now.
