Dunno how many of you are still friends with him (funmonkey54/Charlie) or have known him well enough in the past, but he's been a cool guy and good contributor over the years to FFR. He got in a car accident either last night or earlier today. For any of you that are spiritually inclined to do so, do pray for him. For anyone else, feel free to drop by his profile and wish him a good recovery/words of encouragement. He seems to be doing alright at the moment, but it was pretty bad from what I've heard.

Most recent update:
not sure if there were any pictures but I guarantee Charlie wasn't taking them.

Re: funmonkey54
 

holy shit.

my thoughts go out to him and his family, and I sincerely hope that we see him back to his normal self soon.

Re: funmonkey54
 

Oh wow. I've never been in a car accident of any kind (yet) and I can feel what it'd be like to be in one. Especially something that bad. There's a reason why I ALWAYS put my seat belt on. If it's not on, I put it on by habit. Probably the best habit I have at the moment.

For those who don't wear a seat belt, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WEAR ONE! Charlie did, and he's still alive. In very much pain, but alive. I might not talk to him almost at all, but if there's anyone that I hope for a speedy recovery, it's Charlie; One of the nicest users in FFR history.

My thoughts and prayers go to Charlie and his family, and whenever he's able to get back on FFR, someone remind him to comment on my profile (whenever he's able to get on and stuff again) to let me know that he's okay. Get well soon bro.

Damn, that sounds bad. Yeah, I have been ingrained with wearing my seat belt for as long as I can remember. I can probably say, from reading his injuries, that if he didn't wear his seat belt, he'd be dead. Get a speedy recovery Charlie, peeps here at FFR worried for ya man.

Re: funmonkey54
 

Okay well he hasn't lost his sense of humor

Re: funmonkey54
 

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for the original penguin guy.

HA!

Re: funmonkey54
 

Oh my...

It's been a while since I last talked with Charlie, but I know he's really chill. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Re: funmonkey54
 

I didn't really know the guy, but if it helps I do wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Hopefully he can walk again.

Re: funmonkey54
 

good job living. good luck recovering.

Re: funmonkey54
 

Charlie... :'(

Keeping him in my thoughts and hoping he recovers 100% from this. This is horrible...

Re: funmonkey54
 

thinking about him. wish you the best funmonkey.

Re: funmonkey54
 

That's horrible, but it could have been much worse. (seat belts. wear them.)

Hope he recovers fast and clean

Re: funmonkey54
 

oh my.. hoping for a speedy recovery like everyone else! keep your head up my friend!

Re: funmonkey54
 

;( fuck the wind..

I hope you get well and can start mashing arrows soon,

Re: funmonkey54
 

Stay positive, stay strong. :)

Re: funmonkey54
 

was never real close with him, but I still wish him the best of luck :)

Re: funmonkey54
 

I'm alive.

I'm doing everything I can to stay positive, but my whole body is covered in cuts. Because the wind was strong enough to throw my truck after it started hydroplaning, it should come as no surprise that it was strong enough to spin glass around me while I was trapped in the truck. Luckily, I was pulled out without the gas tank exploding, since I had a full tank, the truck kept running after it flipped, and the tank was leaking. I also had camping equipment in my toolbox including a few lighters and some tinder. So yeah.

I'm in constant pain, but thankful to be alive. I'll post a picture of how it landed when I can charge my iPod again. I'm under surveillance to make sure I don't have brain damage or anything weird and they took me from the scene to my home, so I didn't have a chance to grab any chargers.

Re: funmonkey54
 

Good to see you posting. I hope you recover quickly. I can't even imagine being in that situation.

Re: funmonkey54
 

That's nuts, I couldn't imagine myself being in the same situation. Happy to hear you're okay.

Re: funmonkey54
 

Have a speedy recovery -- it's good to hear you made it out of that disaster alive albeit a lot of pain
