For as much shit as this board gets, as much time as it can drain, and how it seems to be on the decline, it is responsible for one of the best things to ever happen to me.



For those of you who don't know, my wife ambrosia1231 died Monday 10/25. We still don't know the cause of death, but it may be due to a seizure. She has had a history of some health issues, but nothing to this scale in the past. I myself didn't find out about her passing until Wednesday evening If anyone wants more details, information about the forthcoming memorial service, or to just talk about her, feel free to PM me.

Where does the thanks come in? I met her on here back in 2005 (I'm old ). Back then, she was a TWW legend, said to be the next jackleg. She and I PM'd and talked, and I met up with her a few times before we started seeing each other. Once we did our relationship stuck, whether people liked it or not, and we got married in 2009.

Over the years, we both have met and kept up with fantastic people and friends through here. We have wasted countless hours on here, arguing who knows what, helping people with what we knew or had already experienced, PMing people random confessions, dumping our minds into a thread (I'm sorry, but that thread almost makes TWW a blog), or sharing porn I know many of the people who I've been talking to to help deal with this sudden loss have all been TWWers, and I think that says something.

I know many of you didn't get along with her (either online or IRL), but she always enjoyed the banter, comradery, and helpfulness of this site (even from the trolls or people she insulted). There really are few places that so many people from different view points can come together and speak their minds with fairly open rules; especially for such a local setting where you can then meet up at a party, attend a dinner, or meet up at bar (*cough* Mitch's *cough*). Even when she moved out to Colorado, she looked for a similar site out there - but they just don't exist.


Thank you TWW for being here to bring people together. I know there have been marriages (and kids?) which were directly related to your existence, but as a now widower, I want to make sure credit is given where due. Thank you TWW


And I miss you ambrosia1231. TWWLife won't be the same without you.

10/29/2010 2:27:06 AM

man, deepest condolences. I had no idea.

I will pray for you and your family.

I actually talked with her on Sunday about how she was so thankful I couldn't get back into that party so she had to call you for a ride home.

She is going to be deeply missed.

10/29/2010 2:58:52 AM

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that. While I've met a few people who happen to be tdubbers, I've only ever met 2 people in person as a direct result of Tdub. She was one of them.

While I'd normally hesitate to share a PM, I think its probably okay to share part of a recent one now (emphasis added to the important part).

was hoping that it was a halloween joke...tww and all those who knew her will miss her

10/29/2010 4:11:34 AM

Oh wow. Absolutely sucks for something like this to come out of almost nowhere all of a sudden.

Like others have said, deepest condolences, man... And good luck. I can't even begin to understand what you're going through.


RIP

10/29/2010 4:18:25 AM

holy shit, i am so sorry

You're in my thoughts. Xtine was a very special person.

10/29/2010 6:54:48 AM

what the...dude, really?

jeebus, she posted on facebook on the 25th at nearly 3pm

i...man, i'm so sorry for your loss

10/29/2010 7:09:30 AM

What??? OMG, this is just so sudden. She posted at 4:20 pm on that day... so how did it happen out of the blue? So she was all normal and cheerful one minute, and the next minute....? Did she ever have seizures before? And you said you didn't find out until 2 days later... were you travelling? Even then, how come no one informed you? Or perhaps she wasn't discovered for a couple of days?

I am so sorry man... you have my deepest condolences. I can't imagine how it feels. I exchanged several PMs with her over the years (mainly about food), so she is not just random TWW'er for me.

I hope you and her family and your family will be strong and well.

Take care, man.

(I will PM you my questions above if you don't want to answer them here)

10/29/2010 7:24:01 AM

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

god i hope this is a very sick disgusting prank.

i thought something must be up when i messaged her on fb on tuesday & still hadn't heard back yet. we were just talking about going back to glacier national park next summer. omfg i can't believe it.

my condolences matt. this really really sucks.

10/29/2010 7:32:58 AM

O my God...

10/29/2010 7:32:59 AM

I am SO very sorry

10/29/2010 7:50:32 AM

i'm very sorry to hear about your loss. i'll be thinking about both of your families during this time. your wife will definitely be missed.

10/29/2010 8:09:45 AM

I'm so sorry.... words can't even begin to explain how you must feel.. praying for you and your family

RIP

10/29/2010 8:21:01 AM

10/29/2010 8:22:02 AM

10/29/2010 8:23:18 AM

RIP xtine
I wish I had been able to meet her face to face, she was always nice to me and so willing to give helpful advice/information.

My thoughts are with you

10/29/2010 8:25:43 AM

I'm so sorry for your loss.

10/29/2010 8:29:34 AM

while i never met her face to face, we had talked several times through PM about all sorts of things, mainly porn tho haha. it's a real shame and not to sound cliche, but it really puts things into perspective where anyone can be taken at anytime. she will be missed a lot, i dont doubt that at all. stay strong zorthage.


Rest in Peace

Very sorry to hear about this. Not much anyone can say to comfort you right now but I wish you the best out of this.

10/29/2010 8:40:47 AM

Reading this made it sink in for me. Matt; you're amazing for being able to write this. Lots of love and support being sent your way

RIP Christine

i cant believe this ... she and i were exchanging PMs just the other day! this is so sad and fucking sucks.

Z, i am so so sorry for you and all of her close friends. shes twisting nipples in a better place now

christine, you will be missed dearly

10/29/2010 8:55:38 AM

I'm so sorry, Matt. She was a very special person and will be missed tremendously around here.

10/29/2010 9:06:05 AM

I'm so sorry to hear about Christine, how horrible, and here I've been waiting to find out about her haircut.


You have my deepest condolences, I'm so sorry.

10/29/2010 9:07:39 AM

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhat?! I was wondering yesterday why I hadn't seen her posting in awhile. This is so sad

10/29/2010 9:13:45 AM

I still can hardly believe this. I can't put words to how much my heart goes out to you, Matt.

I am going to miss her so much. She always struck me as such an interesting person, and particularly since I met her in person she was always so willing to do any and everything she could to help. I admire her feistiness and how deeply she loved the people who mattered to her.

It seems like particularly in the past few weeks a lot of people on here have connected with her in different ways. It's nice to know that she touched so many people.

10/29/2010 9:19:13 AM

Sorry to hear about this.

10/29/2010 9:21:15 AM

Holy crap that's crazy! Never knew her outside of TWW but sorry for your loss. She will live on as a legend on TWW.

10/29/2010 9:27:36 AM

10/29/2010 9:31:21 AM

wow, i am so sorry to hear of your loss. christine was always such a good genuine person to me on here and in person (even though we only met a few times). my thoughts are with you.

10/29/2010 9:31:26 AM

RIP thoughts and prayers for you, zorthage

10/29/2010 9:40:43 AM

10/29/2010 9:41:16 AM

You will be in my thoughts man that is just . I only recently had gotten to know her through TWW but she always seemed very happy and full of life and was always great at listening and trying to give advice. She will be missed.

I was going to comment on how young she was, but she had a good life at 99 years old.


RIP ambrosia1231.

10/29/2010 9:51:16 AM

my condolences to you matt also, be strong brother

10/29/2010 9:59:52 AM

Didn't know her, but by her posts, she was a genuine person. zorthage, I couldn't imagine losing my wife and I hope you get through it.

Best wishes

10/29/2010 10:00:30 AM

while i didn't particularly care for a lot of her posts myself, i'm really sorry for your loss man.

10/29/2010 10:00:55 AM

ambrosia1231 was one of the best personalities on this site. Never afraid to speak her mind and never backed down from criticism.

RIP

Sorry for your loss, zorthage

10/29/2010 10:17:17 AM

I am in shock. Christine is one of the sweetest people I have met on here. We were supposed to get pedicures and have dinner the next time she came back to NC. The thing I loved most about her personality when I first met her was her honesty.. and I'm sure everyone on here can agree that she was so frank and so spunky. Matt, you are in my prayers.

I'll miss you Christine.

10/29/2010 10:23:51 AM

My goodness how tragic

I always enjoyed talking with her; we used to swap PMs a lot a few years ago. So sorry for your, friends, and family's loss.

10/29/2010 10:28:56 AM

This is terrible. She was an amazing person when I met her in person a few times and on TWW and she will greatly be missed.

10/29/2010 10:34:56 AM

Different circumstances, but in the thread about Stiletto, I looked back & it looks like she first found a picture of him looking happy that I think later became the iconic one of the way he'd want to be remembered.

I thought she deserved at least as much. She had too much personality to fit in one picture, so this is a small collage or composite. I don't know if these are best choices, but I wanted to capture her fun, sometimes silly, loving, social, and creative side.
