OT Lanny needs your prayers and warm wishes

I have been promising Lanny cookies. @SlyPokerDog please find out if he can have cookies. If so let me know what he wants and get me an address. I will drop everything to get them to him.

Will do!

@HomerLovesKoolAid and I are trying to figure that out. Did you go through the hospital? Insurance? County?



Good idea. If you have any suggestions let me know.



I just reached out to the Blazers.



I know his name is on the wall of the Moda as an original season ticket holder. Not sure if it stays there if he no longer has tickets.

County health dept should have adult senior services which provides caregivers for disabled seniors like Lanny...I'd contact them...probably Portland adult senior services....but be careful and don't confuse it with escort services! In Eugene it's Lane County Senior Services.

There is a huge difference between canned olives and other olives. the olives with the metallic taste are canned and i can taste it through the cooking on a pizza. I pick them all off.
most pizza chains use canned olives. Disgusting.

The good places either use bagged or something because there is no metallic taste.
Real natural olives are great. Most olives are not natural.

Same. I grew up thinking I hated olives. But, when I started running a Cheese and Charcuterie case, I was also responsible for buying olives along with a million other things. It made me fall in love. I think everyone owes it to themselves to eat a crisp non-pitted Castelvetrano olive. It is like butter.

We love you Lanny. All time great.

I started posting on O-Live when I was pretty young, a couple of decades ago. Lanny was and always will be the ultimate Blazers fan. My heart goes out to him, his family and all of the friends that he has out there. Really rough news. I just hope he gets to be where he wants and is as comfortable as possible going forward.

Lanny got some very sad news today from his doctors. They're saying 2-4 weeks. They want to send him to a care facility but he just wants to go home and I don't blame him.

I really don't know what to say.

Shit. That's devastating. I can't even.

 

[RR7]

God damn. All the best to Lanny and his loved ones. Hopefully he forgoes the care facility, and goes home to his loving wife to be in his own place around friends and family.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Man, Lanny keep kicking ass and taking names. You are the man and we all love you. Take care of yourself and beat all odds.

Fuck, wishing you the best Lanny. Don't give up!

Just know I'm grateful to have known you and talked hoops for over 20 years with you.

 

[BlazerBeav]

is that $30 for one fucking pizza? wtf.

As the person tasked with getting the pizza for his work softball team each week, I can assure you that a pizza for $30 is a very real thing at multiple local establishments in SE Portland.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Lanny,
Hopefully you get one more log in opportunity to see how much you mean to this community.
Your health is in my heart and mind.

 

[Phatguysrule]

@Lanny you're a great man and an amazing person. I've enjoyed our conversations more than I can express. Meeting you years ago was an honor.

I hope you prove them wrong and enjoy your loved ones for years to come.

Here's looking forward to many more stimulating conversations in the future.

We'll talk to you soon.

Lanny needs a brick on the Blazers Walk of Fame....if there is one.

Shit. Fuck, man. This is awful news. You have a legacy on so many levels! Family, friends, passions and hobbies. I haven't had the chance to really talk with you much but that doesnt matter, it hurts all the same. You're loved, friend. You're appreciated and you brought so much to so many. Defy the odds!!

Keep kicking ass. Cause damnit, you're Lanny!

I think the first time we all met was upstairs at Grand Central Bowl.

 

[calvin natt]

Shit. Gut punch. Hoping he and his wife are around friends and/or family.

 

[tlongII]

Lanny's going to be mad at me for this... But there was a time when I thought Lanny and Laker Lanny were the same person.

 

[Strenuus]

I think the first time we all met was upstairs at Grand Central Bowl.

That's my memory right now too. I remember that one for sure.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Sending love to Lanny and his family & friends.

I know things look grim, Lanny, but I heard this is the year the Blazers shock the league and win the title. Get better and stick around for the parade.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damn, that sucks.

Stay strong Lanny. If there's one thing the Blazers have done years after years recently, it's beating the odds when nobody had them making the playoffs. As the ultimate Blazers fan, you can beat the odds as well !

 

[theprunetang]

Maybe this is where Lanny goes Dame time and hits his own .9 game winner. Where the fuck is Paul George when someone actually needs him?
