Free Falling

Well, we no longer have a working camera. The clumsy lady servant broke it when she fell at the boat race yesterday. This is the second digital camera she has broken in only a year. Can we trade her in?
Funny story..... it was the next to the last lap of the boat race and the lady was sitting on the seawall at the port, watching the boats fly by at high rates of speed. Well, this boat turns the corner and heads straight for the seawall going over 100mph. Everyone starts to freak out and back away from the sea wall. Well, as the lady was trying to run for her life, she tripped over her dad's friend's lawn chair and ate the pavement in front of everyone....HAHAHA! She fell on her right side and has some bruises and has clicking and weakness in her shoulder, but the worst part is the camera didn't make it. It's dead, like completely. She can't even get the pictures off that she took of the boats. Still not sure if the boat was pulling a stunt or what, but got so scarily close to the sea wall, even the announcers thought they had lost control of the boat. She's not upset about it just a little in the shoulder. She says if she hadn't been sitting so close, she wouldn't have gotten so scared.

We're a bit stiff here but we don't think that's so funny. The people got scared because of that "stunt" and your poor mommy hurt herself. The most important thing is that she gets well in no time, you can replace a camera easily but not the shoulder. We admire her for not losing her good humour! Ours would be saying bad words. Purrs to your momma!

We are very sorry your Mom got hurt a bit. That wasn't funny. (but no, we don't think you can trade her in!)

The Island Cats said...

That musta been scary for all the people there! We hope your mom doing better...eating pavement does not sound like fun! And the poor camera...

Jasmim said...

Wow, glad you all are well.
I hope that you can buy a new camera soon =)

The Monkeys said...

Oh that is awful! Thankfully you're okay, though. Sounds like something I would do...

Cory said...

We took a vote. You don't get to trade in your mom. You need to all gather around her and administer purr therapy on her hurty shoulder. Then help her cruise the internet for a new camera.

Cameras can be replaced but not Moms. Purring her shoulder feels betters real soon.

Oh noes! I hope your Mommy's shoulder isn't too owchie! It's dangerous when humans fall...they aren't as tough as us kitties. I agree, it's better to hurt the camera than your Mom but yeah, she shouldn't break so many cameras....

Lisa Kolosey said...

Owch! Sorry your mommmy took a spill - on pavement stinks even worse! Maybe the camera has a card with the pictures on it. If it does, it can be removed and pictures saved...maybe? ~Co9T

It's really not a funny thing at all when someone gets hurt like that! Well, maybe in retrospect it's kind of amewsing, but only because of the visual picture that it creates.

I sure hope your mama heals quickly. Maybe she should get that clicking shoulder checked out by a doctor -- something might be loose!

Sorry to hear about the demise of yet another camera. That sucks!

SeaThreePeeO said...

Oh dear! We couldn't help but laugh!

We do hope your mum bean feels better soon!

Oh noes! We hope her shoulder stops clicking soon. That could get annoying.

Mom said: If she takes the camera too a specialist camera shop they may be able to get the photos out of it.

JC said...

SASS....Sammy Andy Shelly Sierra said...

We feel badly that your Mommy got hurt, and hope she will be fine very soon.

We do hope you get a new cam soon as we will miss your pics.

Gemini and Ichiro said...

That is a funny story. I hope it wasn't the feds looking to see if I were on that wall. I would feel badly.

missbreezysbox said...

Glad your mom is mostly O.K. To bad the camera died. Similar thing happened to my digital camera 1 1/2 years ago. My husband put it in his pocket. Screen broke and you can't tell what the camera is saying, it's stuck stupid. No $, so I use camcorder. Wonderful story telling.

Reese =^..^= said...

That IS a funny story. I am sorry about the camera. Ours is in it's last days, so we can understand how you feel right now. The Mommeh says everything seems to wear out at the same time...puters, cameras, fridgeys...and the list goes on.

Debra Taylor said...

I am so sorry to learn of the accident. I hope your mommy can heal up easily and as soon as possible. And how disheartening about losing the camera and photos!

thanks to mommy for the post about Best Animal Friends!

Brian's Home Blog said...

That's OK, y'all are good story tellers even without the pictures. Tell Mama to get all better. Maybe she will buy you 2 this time so you can have a spare.

Shaggy and Scout said...

Well we hope she feels better soon!
Our mom is a clumsy oaf too.

The Kitty Krew said...

Oh, the poor mom! We hope she's feeling better today, getting hurt is no fun. We're sure you're all purrrrrring around her to help, and we send our purrrrrrrrrrs too.

That wasn't a funny stunt at all, if it was a stunt. There could have been serious injuries. :p

Purrs and hugs,

BeadedTail said...

What a scary story! That wasn't furry nice of the boat to do such a stupid stunt and scare everyone. We hope your mom feels better soon and sorry about your camera.

Tuck said...

That doesn't sound like a good stunt to me! And why are flashy boxes so fragile?

Your Daily Cute said...

Oh, that stinks! Tell her to stop breaking cameras... but I'm glad she's OK. :)

Sweet Purrfections said...

I'm sad I can't see any pictures of you, but I hope your mom's shoulder is okay. My mom is having shoulder surgery in a couple of months.

Shelly said...

Sorry to hear your mom broke the camera (again), but I'm glad she wasn't hurt. I'd be scared too!

Cheyenne -Millie said...

We are sad about the camera! Hope your mom is getting better! We knows that cameras can be expensive... cause mom has been looking for one that would take movies with sound!

Jans Funny Farm said...

Well, that would have scared Jan too. And she would probably have tripped too. We hope your mom is okay!

Amy & the house of cats said...

Ok what is up with electronics and the cat bloggers lately - there seems to be a run of bad luck with everyone.

And we really hope your mom is ok - it sounds like she hit the ground pretty hard.
