Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Keno Rendezvous

I finally got to meet the one and only LON!!!!!! My husband,Bill, and I drove down to Southern Oregon and hooked up with Lon and his gracious wife, Linda. We spent 2 hours at a restaurant going over meds,symptoms and other various tall tales.[ Lon would be the perfect guy to take camping and share a campfire with since he can match me tale for tale!]
He lives in a beautiful area - sagebrush, juniper trees, deer, coyote and a gorgeous lake. This area has the largest fresh water lake in Oregon.If an ASKickers camp-out is ever planned than this is the place to do it.Lon is very articulate, inteligent and loving. [ And he didn't throw me in the lake to baptize me !!!!!!] What a great fellow ASKicker. Thanks for the wondeful lunch, Lon

I'm so glad some one finally got to meet our Lon in person! Yes, it does sound like a beautiful area of the country, and I'm glad he didn't throw you into the lake to baptize you at least without a wet suit, I imagine that lake water can be cold this time of year - - or maybe any time of year

All dogs really need to feel happy is people around who love them

Sounds like fun. One of my big wishes now is to meet one of you in person.

(Fyrfytr, we gotta set us a date for the meeting of the Mid-Ohio Valley ASKickers)

Cindy

It was wonderful meeting Michelle in MD and Stevec and Craneman and Mathie in Mass. in May, nothing like it, actually talking in person to these great people who post here at KickAS! And Milt and Diane, Michelle's and Steve's spouses too - - and the assorted KickAS dog mascots who came along for the fun.

Mickey,
What? When? Every time I try to look up that word Rendezvous, I forget how to spell it when I got to the dictionary! But, if you mean that wonderful chat we had while eating a meal, ABSOLUTELY GREAT! Thank you so much for driving down to see us. We were encouraged and had several good laughs. Yes, you brought chocolate! The next time I feel myself slipping I will give you a call and pay for the trip down, just to get the endorphins going again. I was afraid at first, when you and Bill quickly hid under the table when you saw me coming toward you. I was also taken back when you said we should have gone to the Taco Time drive threw in separate cars! My wife always brings plastic when I eat, there was no reason to make such a big deal about it! I thought everyone throws fries and Ketchup in the air to catch between their teeth? I was half way to the truck when the bar tender caught me and gave me your bar tab since Friday?

I really did enjoy it.

Yes we did admire your dexterity in "fry-catching" but Bill does this real cute thing with lettuce so I feel the male world is well represented by the both of you. We were serious, the Keno area is beautiful, and if it wern't for those lousy Oregon taxes we would be tempted to muscle in on your territory. Our inventation to you was also real. We do have a bedroom available for when you are passing through on your way to Seattle. Again Lon both Bill and I enjoyed your company and the trip down there. The diet and exercise does seem to work for you. Keep it up. We may always have AS with us but it won't master us! I am going to put the film in today and will send you copies if any turn out [ which is not usually the case with my expertise ].
so -until the next time- take care don't overdo things. Remember God wants those lawns to turn brown and die off in the summer. That is part of the Plan,so don't go messing things up by watering and mowing!!
