Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group My brother's success: AS in remission....

Possi you could never offend any one your words of wisdom all ways help. And you have a right to an opinion the same as us all. I think the problem here is we all responded in anger at what was being said so we are all at fault. All we have done myself included is what the poster wanted and fed there sick minds. As wise mig said we should have ignored the posts and treated them with the contempt they deserved.
We all love and respect you Possi and would never take anything you said as offensive.
Kevin
PS Im really pleased your feeling better

Not quite sure why your bandying about with the praise but its been suggested to me that you are clearly approaching the less intellignet ASKickers such as myself and Dow with a sprinkle of praise so that we would vote you in as...

All Powerful Tyrannical Despot of KickAS for life so you can sack the ever lovely Mig. Which sounds rather horrid.....but if you toss in some chocolate chip ice cream with yournext bit of praise you got my vote

I am deeply insulted I have never stolen anyones post. I will use my positive thoughts to erase you from my mind so there.

Thank you Kevin. I realized last night that I got caught up in the thread and was sorry that I responded in anger and frustration. I should have just let it go and gone on with the posts that were important to me. Kevin, you are a dear friend and I appreciate you and your strength and the way you encourage me and every one else.

Thanks for be happy with me that my back is better. It is not back where it was but it is so much better that I am not using my cane this a.m. and I am thrilled that it is better. The ups and downs sometimes are very frustrating. About the time I think I am much better, I do something I shouldn't do and put myself back into the starting over position again. Not smart. Just trying to be normal and forgetting that my life is normal for me.

It is my husband, children and granchildren that keep me going. ) plus you friends )

Hope you have a great weekend.

Possi

What with you and Kevin, I am sat here at work (breaking the internet rules) laughing my head off. Steve your unswerving loyalty to Mig is almost admirable, I am sure she will understand that being passed over for an ice cream is entirely ok......my deputy just came in and asked me what I am sniggering about......anyway Steve, yes I agree with the premise, the chocolate chip is yours, the chick gets the boot, the vote is mine and I get to be top KA dog Right then Kevin be nice or as top dog I shall have you banished and sent to the north of England for a week !!! Am laughing away my remaining work confined friday minutes 47 of them, KA is great.......down with Kev

your post reminds me of a book i very much enjoyed: "the right words at the right times" by marlo thomas and friends. you are right, it is amazing what words can do.

to all the smiling kind faces i see in all the avitar's:

thanks for all the positive energy i am getting from this post.

ice cream, i didn't know votes could be exchanged for ice cream, that changes everything.......

I think that is the *more likely* hidden meaning, given the capitalisation of your name - Proof, IMO.

I think what we should all be on the lookout for from now on is folks whose avatars look like this: - TROLLS!!!

I think people get fearful and defensive when you mention that they can do more with the power of the mind in dealing with their disease. They dont realize what a subconcious grip their disease and their "poor me" attitude has on them. Nowhere in mentioning that you can access more of the power of your mind and subconscious have I stated that support groups or medicines are bad. The mind is an area that will forever be for each individual to determine how successful or determined they are in accessing this incredible power. Sorry your rheumy cannot write a script for it. I know it can be done because I walk the walk dont just talk the talk. My rheumy says I am the most successful patient she has ever had in her practise. So I must be doing something right. I dont find support groups necessary but am not against them. I first came to this website 10 years ago. Even then people were attacking me for my "weird methods". So I stopped coming into the discussion forum for 10 years. Interesting how I get the same reaction. But I will continue to do what I do. I wish everyone well. Mabe one person will investigate or find something through what I said. The rest can continue on their own paths because that's ultimatly all we do anyway.
