Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Jeanna has left the building

When put that way it seems rather a tremendous change for that poor little lass. Leaving everything behind.

Ghastly big burden for you to, simply fill the void for a country or continent of friends and loved ones left behind.

I suspect when it all works out well this should be a trbute to the two of you and on the occasional bad day it offers empirical evidence that the hurdles are high and nothing is wrong with how much you love each other.


My best to the two of you.

Hi Loz/Jeanna: I wish you both the best of the best...Tom

I know the future will shine brighter when Jeanna finally arrives. Leaving home may be hard but being with you will ease those thoughts very quickly. Just think of the Frequent Flyer Miles you'll collect going back and forth...oops, you already have several million, don't you?

I'm so happy for the two of you...or should I say the one of you?

I know. I truly know, what a heartwrenching thing it is to say goodbye to family.
I agree with Sharon - don't ever let money, time, or anything at all prevent Jeanna from making as many trips home as possible. Like Sharon, I too, stayed away far too long ( years at a time )- very regretable.
Jeanna has you Loz and with frequent trips home to family - I just know that all is going to be ok.

Jeanna - I truly wish you much happiness in your new surroundings.

HUGS

Hi Loz/Jeana:

Very romantic,really.

Thanks for the post Loz.

You better believe that we will do anything for Jeanna. She has taken another big step in her life and I am sure that you will help her adjust to her new home and country.

Least ways ya better, or me and ol' BBJ are gonna have t' take care of business... An' heaven forbid we have to get Bruno involved.. God I hate trying to get him through an airport, anymore...

But seriously, you two will do just fine. Your a true KickAS couple.
Best Wishes from my family to your new family. Be safe

Keep Kickin'AS
Chris

Hey Loz/Jeanna,

Safe travels to Jeanna. That is a big adjustment now that it is here and real... I have moved over 2,000 miles on a couple of occasions, but never to a new country. Hopefully new surroundings are looked as a source of adventure and not homesickness. I have always looked at them as an adventure awaiting my efforts to seek out what is new.

Take care and many well wishes to the newlyweds.

Good luck! I left the States around the turn of this century to be with my Quebecoise bride who I met in Mexico. Am now a permanent resident of Canada, with a Canadian wife, a Canadian son, and another Canadian child on the way. Of course one day soon we may no longer be Canadian. I thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster daily for blessing me so!

Funkster,

Please send Guiness and not that stuff in the strange cans. Since you and your countrymen will reap the rewards of Jeanna's presence on an ongoing basis , we will expect shipments of Guiness each month in perpetuity. Now would be a good time to start.

In the event that Jeanna and Loz return to Canada, the shipments of the beverage must triple for the duration of their stay as we will expect the consumption to increase as we celebrate.

Jeanna - congrats to you both as you embark on the latest chapter of your lives.

I know that Loz will be the perfect guide as you adapt to life in the UK. I thought of a few things that you might want to keep in mind as a Canadian in Merry Olde:

1. You can put your boots in the boot but don't put your bonnet under the bonnet.

2. Chips equal crisps and fries equal chips but crisps are not equal to fries.

3. Besides you, another notable Canadian export was Andrew Bonar Law, born in Rexton, New Brunswick. He was British Prime Minster in 1922-1923. Best not to mention Lord Black.

4. The first floor isn't really the first. The second isn't the second. In the UK and France the buildings start with a floor that doesn't count. This is the one thing that the French and British agree upon.

5. Elevators are lifts and trucks are lorries. You can put a lift in a lorry but it would be tough to get a lorry in a lift, even if you did want to take it up to the first floor.

6. When driving on the motorways, right is wrong and left is right. Otherwise you may get into a prang with a lorry and crumple your bonnet.

Best wishes.

Wonderful Rick. Good to see you!

That's a pretty tough trade - I would have thought the flow should go the other way if they are over visiting Canada what with you benefitting from the pleasureable company of both.

You neglected to mention that you can get a lift ON a lorry by sticking your thumb out and waiting for one to pick you up. This of course is forbidden on the motorway irrespective of direction of travel - such behaviour will encourage visits from the police.

Can't argue with the rest of it though!

Cheers
Jo
