Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group KickAs Nominations

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to post and see if I could start a conversation that shows the appreciation for KickAS members that help us through our difficult days. Oscars, Sag Awards, Grammy's, etc,.. but they mean nothing to me. We should show our appreciation for people here on the site that help us in our day to day lives.

So here's my plan, everyone post a name that they have found comfort from reading their posts. No award (sorry), no media, but a cyber-pat on the back for a gift of humor, or comfort, or understanding, even just the guts to share difficult times.

To be P.C.,.. all members add something, and this isn't for the popularity or most frequent votes, it's a personal thing. A Thank you.

So altho my subject line is KickAs Nomination, I appreciate,... (Drum Roll) Old George.

For sarcastic humor that makes me laugh out loud. When I can't respond myself because I have no experience in the subject matter, Old George brings me closer with humor.

And the next nominees are,....

was going to nominate the fabulous ineptwill for his quiet humour and ever present quirky smile! However given that you might think that to be rather fulsome, and can't see the smile anyway, then I nominate the lovely (Looking, talking brainy smiley kindly)
MIG MIG MIG MIG

mig gets the third award nomination

I gotta nominate Stevec, his humor is second to none. His posts always give me a smile.

Do I have to choose only one??!!

My list of people is so long - Old George, Mig, SteveC, Strutsy, AngelMom, Klem, Loz (to name a very few of the people who have helped me here). But I suppose, if forced, and for the purposes of this thread, I think I'll nominate Sassy - for her honesty and no BS way handling of things.

Hugs,

I would like to nominate the following (in no particular order)...

1. DOTYISLE
2. DRAGON SLAYER
3. KIWI

I really appreciate your advice and encouragment on NSD issues.

A very sincere THANK-YOU

As Kat said, there are so many people here that deserve a thank you, not the least of which is my husband and fellow member, Loz. However, since I am so grateful for the opportunity to tell him this in person, nearly every single day, I'll officially nominate another, unrelated KA family member.

So, without further ado, I nominate Klem for all the love and concern she pours into her thoughtful posts, and for all the work she does privately behind the scenes, without any opportunity for thanks or recognition, for those at most in need at KA. You're such a gem.

Kat and Jeanna
thanks girls!

What a great idea, I am going to have to split the award in two, and the way it turns out is not a male /female thing, it just so happens to be the case.
To Brother Lon, what a star. A man who has been through so much yet has so much to give, a true great.
And to Lori, not an AS sufferer herself, thankfully, but the mother of Eric, who has AS. She always understands what is needed, when it comes to listening to any one of us who may be feeling down.
SO there they are my true ASkickin nominees.

I have a special list of folks I would love to include, but I will mention ONE now from that list:

the gentleman who just doesn't sit on the sidelines when things get mucky, and who knows when a person might need some chocolate

Alohaben-thank you for your kindness
