Guest guest Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 That's the worst Kate, chameleons don't have teeth. Believe me, I've seen the insides of their mouths. No teeth at all. But their jaws are very strong, that's how they squeeze the bugs they catch, to death. Yip, thought I was a bug as well!!! LOLIt feels like hitting your finger with a hammer, extremely sore. And it's very funny to think they can bite that hard, without any teeth.Damn, I was shocked the first time I got bitten. yip, was bitten about 4 times already. I guess I have chameleon madness now. LOL Nah, already have all the madness I can take, so maybe they have Lollie madness. Shame!!!Love youTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, May 22, 2011 10:51:41 PMSubject: Re: in South Africa with a mad chameleon I guess I didn't realize they even had teeth, ! That must have been such a bad surprise. Yikes.Just stick with the ones you know and know you best. You'll feel safer.love,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, May 22, 2011 5:14:28 PMSubject: in South Africa with a mad chameleon Hi Sharon and all my other little friendsWell, my one chameleon is a bit uptight, he bit me 2 days ago. While I was trying to find him a big juicy fly, after he bit me, he licked off his lips, well, it looks that way. Trying to find the taste of my poor finger better. Now the skin wasn't broken, but it still hurts when I touch the little bruise. Now this was the one (Mini-Blaartjie) who stayed in the fern at nights. I was crazy enough to go and fetch him and put him in the fern. Well, after Friday, I haven't touched him again. After he bit me I put him back into his tree and just left him. I must admit I'm a bit scared to try and pick him up again. At least I still have 3 chameleons that I can trust completely. Neither one has ever bit me and are very loving. They are my favorite one, Knerses, Mini-Knerses and Baby.So I will rather just use all my energy on those 3 the others get a bit grumpy, not sure why, but I don't want to be bitten again.Now please stop laughing, I can just see you all, she got bitten by a chameleon. It must have looked silly. The worst is that I didn't expect it, because I was just concentrating on getting to the fly. I felt an intense burning/pain on my finger, screamed ouch, and then I figured out he bit me.Now stay away from chameleons that are upset.Love you allTo: MSersLife Sent: Fri, April 22, 2011 8:51:46 PMSubject: Re: from in South Africa Hi !I love hearing from you and getting "chameleon news":) I think you are very lucky to have your little chameleons to entertain you and it does seem they truly depend on you. Thanks for letting us know about your life there in SA. It's good for us to remember there are other people in the world. Some people do complain about us Americans and say we think we are in the world by ourselves. lolhugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sorry about that.Well, unfortunately I'm not sure if chocolates will work for high blood pressure, but hey, at least it makes me happy. LOLOur weather is starting to get colder, yeah, I can just hear all of you, it's about time that she suffers with the cold as well. At least I still don't get that thick rain of Debbi. LOL Brrr, I will freeze my (Akiba) butt off with that rain. Well, actually still not enough rain. But it's getting windy as well. Now you know me, I think my chameleons is little babies that can't live without my love and help. LOL Crazy, I know. Well, one of those babies is very smart. He knows when it's too cold, too windy or too wet, like that one ever happens. Anyway, he sleeps in the fern every night for the past week or so. Now yesterday we were in town, so when we got back, I was looking for him in his usual tree outside, couldn't find him. Where was he??? In his fern. He decided, well, if she won't come and get me from this cold windy tree, I will just walk over to my warm, soft fern bed all by myself. At morning he doesn't greet me on the safety gate in front of our front door. NO!!! He stays in the fern, try to hide from me, so it's definitely very cold if he doesn't want to get out of there. LOLI'm still walking without the walker, has a lot of trouble with balance, dizzy spells (vertigo thing) and headaches, whenever I think. LOL Now that's the perfect reason not to think or do any calculations I suppose. Not sure what I'll do then with myself, but anyway. I'm done with my brother's financial books, now the real accountant has to do the financial sheets for it and the year's taxes. Then it's VAT time again. LOL Hopefully my brain will work a bit better by then. Somehow it just shuts down, and it's really awful that I have to try not to overwork the brain at all. And believe me, these days it's very easy to overwork it. Not sure if it's just old age or just that I broke that last little brain cell as well. Anyone has a young and unused brain cell left that I can borrow, or steal if I have to??? LOLTake care my dear friends, stay out of trouble, enjoy your spring time. I hope the big winds (tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.) and all the other things (tsunamis etc.) that you get (that's normal there) will be tamed and not so bad this time. I can't believe that you just live through it all. I will be scared out of my mind.Love you allSilly and her chameleonsTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, April 17, 2011 7:58:44 PMSubject: Re: from in South Africa So chocolate works for high blood pressure? It looks like I have my new medicine then and can toss out the pills from the pharmacy! lol How's the weather in SA, ? How's your walking? Are you still able to walk about without your walker?hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

But then again the doctors don't care too much about it. I get a very small dose diuretic, but I can just as well ate some chocolates. I think it will work just as good. LOLMy headache is better. I can concentrate again. The steroids definitely helped for it. I think I was on it for about 4 or 5 days. So it sounds like MS related. It's just very frustrating when my head hurts when I concentrate. It's a very strange feeling.I can't even read a book about PCs, because the concentration kills me. LOL Oh great, I'm definitely starting to lose that last little brain cell.But it's better now, and for now, that's all that matters. I could finish my brother's financial books, so Monday he can give it to the real accountant to figure out the year's financial statements etc. I was afraid that I won't be able to do it. It's really scary that MS takes my brain these last few years. It's the concentration, the headaches, the fact that I don't have a clue what 2 + 2 is, balance issues, dizziness and don't forget my personal favorite. That damn monkey that pulls the brain switch whenever he wants to. He looks a lot like Akiba's monkey. do you think he maybe got away from her??? LOL Oh please, don't hit me over the head. LOLThanks for caring and try to be good.Love youFrom: Sharon To: MSersLife Sent: Mon, April 11, 2011 7:24:56 PMSubject: Re: from in South Africa Do you have high blood pressure? High blood pressure can cause headaches. When I get the headaches from hbp it feels like there is too much in my brain and my head may explode. But that's the way it affects me--everyone is different.I know you don't have a neurologist but can you please talk to your regular doctor about the headaches? It may not be related to MS or all!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

It feels like a switch being shut off. So I'm getting a bit afraid about it. How bad can MS get in the brain? I find that I have more troubles with it, the headaches have to be MS related, because when I take Prednisone it helps for it. So it's not a normal headache. And sometimes it feels that there is this huge air bubble in my brain. LOL I know, I'm definitely getting a bit strange, even more silly. The worst is that I sometimes can't remember words, and it bugs me really. And then again, in the middle of a conversation that damn monkey in my brain just pulls off the switch, and I will sit there, staring, wondering what were I saying, what am I doing here??? LOL But then again, nothing that a bit of silly humor can't fix.So even if I start writing Afrikaans, or maybe one of my own language inventions one day, you'll still here from me. Just hope I remember what to do with a PC. LOLBe good and take care.Love you allTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, April 11, 2011 2:54:36 AMSubject: Re: from in South Africa I always love to hear about your chameleons. What joy they bring to you! What is your worry about your brain? Are you having headaches or is it memory or thinking difficulties that worries you?big hugs to you SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Sorry, I sit at my brother's work with my laptop, and I'm not good on typing on this little thing. I prefer the desktop. LOLAnyway, yesterday we went shopping and I went without old walker again, it hurts a bit but at least I could do it. The stubbornness keeps creeping in on me. LOL Then again, I think it's that same stubbornness that keeps me alive.Anyway, my head hurts the most. It's hell, I find that the steroids work a little for it. But the dizziness and brain freeze are the worst. So sorry for all the grammar mistakes you'll see, don't have old dictionary here, not that it will help. Because I can hardly remember my Afrikaans words, so there's no way in finding the English words.I'm still alive and thanks for being interested in my little chameleons. They keep me on my toes, even though I'm in pain, I have to go outside to check on them. Mini-B (I've decided to make the names a bit shorter for your guys) is getting very naughty these days. He doesn't like hot weather, windy weather and neither does he like to get wet from the rain.So he will walk from his tree to our porch and climb in the fern.Well,that is if he's not waiting for me on the safety gate in front of our front door. We always have to be on the check for him. I've also discovered a new teenager, well, he must have lived here until now, but at the teenage years I can tell them apart. I call him Kwaai Babatjie, translated it means, mad or grumpy little baby. He's always in the mood to bite me, but then again, my fingers are a bit large for him. LOLI'm worried a bit about my brain, because the MS attacks my brain more than anything else. Well, MS can't eat too much, because there's not much brains left to be eaten. LOL I've used most of it already.So take care my dear sweet friends, be good and thanks again for caring, I really appreciate it.Love you all and all her strange little creatures.To: MSersLife Sent: Thu, April 7, 2011 11:56:52 PMSubject: Re: from in South Africa LAURA!!! How are you? I miss you! I've been a lousy friend since I didn't return your last e-mail :-( sorry to hear that you've been down – we all have our ups and downs unfortunately… At least you're walking! How are your lovely chameleons? I miss hearing about them… Maybe you should try writing a book about them. You do such a good job telling us about them and giving them such wonderful personalities – maybe everyone else in the world needs to hear about those lovely little guys!

Been a bit down, but I'm okay. I'm so behind with my emails, I think there must be about 1500 + waiting for me. Ouch!!!! LOL I've been without the walker for exactly 6 weeks, and unfortunately, had to take it out of retirement again. I feel so depressed about it. Guess I overdo it a bit. But at least I can move again. Please tell everyone that I'm okay, and sorry that I neglect you. Love you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
