Michele 1 #1 April 22, 2003 Last Tuesday, I lose my Kitty of 17 years. Last Saturday Holly died. There is an unusual amount of injuries in a short amount of time (I don't care what the stats say - it *is* a lot, and it is a short time span...) And then, this morning, I get a call from the studio where my father is filming a PSA...he's been taken to the hospital. Diagnosis? Grumpy old man with 4 broken ribs. Seems the director asked for more energy from the teenager my Dad was working with, and Dad got "tackled" instead of "pushed"...he's 80, for crying out loud, who'd tackle an 80 year old man??? Now Dad is high as a kite on painpills, and grumpy as hell... And then there're bright blue skies and perfect puffy clouds....but now it's raining. Oh phooey...FUUUUUUU-----EEEEEEEEEEEE. I'm going to take a nap. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,584 #4 April 22, 2003 Oh man! I hope he feels better soon! That's really a shame. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooked 0 #8 April 22, 2003 Hugs for you and your Dad. Bad stuff just keeps happening, sometimes it seems as though it's just too much. Tackling an 80 yr. old, what was he thinking.

Michele 1 #10 April 23, 2003 Thanks for the notes; I appreciate it... The nap didn't help...sigh... I would wring the neck of the guy who tackled Pop...but I don't think they'll tell me who, and where, he is...sigh. Just off the phone with him. He'll be o.k., but still... I think I will go jumping. The rain's stopped for the moment, so hopefully Elsinore will be clear and "dry" enough for me...tomorrow I will play in the sky. That will help!

Michele 1 #13 April 23, 2003 Mujie...will you be there tomorrow? It would be most excellent to finally claim my hug from you, honey...and jump! And BigBen, are you there, too? And Chuck - QuoteYour dad is the shit. Yeah, I think so, too...except he keeps trying to get me to watch the Lakers instead of jump...

Dumpster 0 #14 April 23, 2003 Hugs to you and your Dad from me, too! AND in spite of all the ( negative ) stuff going on, I'm going to leave work early and join Ladyskydiver, ZeroG and hopefully a fourth team member and jump tomorrow. Your Dad must be pretty tough, just the same! Hope the ribs heal quickly! He'll be able to look at the video one day and laugh. Or if he really needs a good laugh, he could watch the Bulls play the Lakers. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jceman 1 #15 April 23, 2003 QuoteHugs for you and your Dad, Michele... I would second that emotion, Michele, but I think that the hugs might be painful for your Dad (I give power hugs), so I'll send his to you and you can share them when he feels up to it, Ok? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #16 April 23, 2003 Go, Lenny! Jump with my girl! Give her a hug and tell her it's for me, so when I see her next week, I can claim it! Jack, will do. Not that I want to share power hugs (I believe you have great hugs, and am anxiously awaiting getting one for myself...), but I'll share it with Pop...

Hang in there girl; it'll get better. Seems like April's a bad month for a lot of people. Hey, does this incident make your dad an 80 year old stuntman?

Michele 1 #20 April 23, 2003 Quote I'll be there.... wanna jump? Absolutely! I have something I need to do....and you're just the man to do it! (O.K., it's not yet 6 am, not even a whole cuppa coffe yet, so that came out wrong...!) Dad's doing better. Lots of pain, but he's doing alright. I've sent on all the hugs and well wishes, and he appreciates them! And I appreciate them, too...

DYEVOUT 0 #21 April 23, 2003 Quotemy father is filming a PSA... What means that ?? ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #22 April 23, 2003 QuoteWhat means that ?? "Public Service Announcement". Sometimes they run at normal hours, but mostly they run at like 3 am. His PSA has something to do with the military but I'm not sure what. He's also in the middle of a play, and has a movie scheduled to start filming either the end of next week or the beginning of the week after that. And he just finished another tv show, but I don't know which one.
