I did not know her, but may she rest in peace and may her family find comfort in this time.
I'm sorry. RIP. |

Well damn.
I always enjoyed her posts here. She was one of the "good" ones and added a lot to the site. Huge prayers out to her family and especially her daughter. She will most definitely be missed around here. |

Wow. I remember her posts and remember how surprised I was when I found out she was a woman.
I seemed to me at least that it was impossible to tell. She was just one of us... |

I'm sorry to hear this news. I can't recall if I ever argued with her or not, but I do remember usually taking the time to read her posts.
Sincerest condolences to her family. |

Bump for TC's touching update.
I'll forever remember the "three Gs" as she adamantly told me. I agreed with her 100% on that. Concise, clever, charming. Those will be the three Cs I can give her. Eta: there's a few people on here that I'd call friend and help however I can. She is most definitely one. |

Got to thinking about her again today and decided to check back and I'm so glad I did because I was able to see the update and learn a little more about her. What a great loss for everyone who knew her well and those of us who only wish we knew her better.

If you treat women like people instead of a self propelled set of tits, they either act right or they go away. Either way you win. Jesus I may be a loser but at least I'm not a pussy about it.

ARF has lost another member. Some of you may recall Splint Nicket posting over the years. She took a break from the site for a while and came back a couple of years ago. She and I started corresponding a year or so back after I responded to her about a post she'd made, and it became a regular exchange of messages and phone calls after a bit. A few short months ago she very rapidly lost the use of an arm and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer that had spread to her brain. After that she wasn't on the site much, both because of the difficulty posting due to her mobility issues and the treatments were pretty wearing on her. I have stayed in touch with her daughter and sister when calling and texting became an issue for her due to the disease and the treatment. She overcame a lot in her personal life and leaves behind a teen aged daughter. Some of you regulars had also been in contact with her during these recent hard times she's been having, and I thought you might want to know Jane suggested that this pic belongs in the OP, and I agree http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q72/tc556guy/disney_tram-1.jpg I have tried to post a longer commentary, but my computer crashed and I am going to try again. As I previously mentioned, I started talking to SN purely by accident. I PMd her about a post she'd made, and it started a chain of PMs that moved on to IMs on Yahoo, emails and eventually phone calls. Someone else mentioned about how SN disagreed with them on issues but that it never got out of hand or rose to the level of an angry exchange. Thats a rarity in and of itself in GD, and speaks to SNs character. Someone else mentioned that she had a low tolerance for BS, and that was my view of her as well, both on ARF and in her personal life. She often asked me why I bother with the sparring I get involved in in GD, when she was more apt to simply walk away from a topic she disagreed with. Still, many times though we'd be chatting or on the phone and she'd mention some thread that she thought I might be interested in that she'd seen, just because she knew it interested me.... She had pulled herself up from a rough marriage and escaped from it with not much more than the clothes on her back and the thing that mattered most to her in her life...her daughter.... She trained herself in computer graphic arts and made herself a living at it to support her family and not asking anything from anyone in the process. Apparently the folks who do her line of work create unique avatars they use while working in the public spaces of the projects they're on. People will actually log on and follow the avatars of the SNs around the program while they work on the project. SN's work avatar was what she called the "Space Elf", pictured below: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q72/tc556guy/th_space_elf_002.png There were a few times we'd be talking and she'd plug me into her program to watch her work. I have to admit that it was all above my head and I had a lot of respect for what she could do. She enjoyed life, loved going to Disney with her daughter and a weekly trip to the beach where, after we'd started talking, she would love to send me pics of her feet and toes in the sand and surf while I would complain about the NY weather. She was endlessly teasing me about the evil yankees and snow she'd escaped from when she lived in the north for a while, and how much she loved growing up in FL before the development and yankees ruined it ( her words ). She almost had me convinced more than once that this crazy yankee should move to FL after my retirement and see what she found so interesting about the place through her eyes. More than once we would debate the merits of okra in a persons diet. That woman was all southern when it came to culinary stuff She'd grown up in FL and lived in places like MN, the Northeast and TX. She did eventually make her way back to FL and found that it was too developed from what she remembered from her childhood, so she had two dreams she wanted to fulfill once her daughter was grown and moved out. First, she wanted to move back to TX and live on a large piece of land far from anyone. Secondly, her experience in picking herself up from nothing had instilled in her a minimalist approach to many aspects of her life. She wanted to travel to India, and she would often tell me how she planned to travel there with only a toothbrush for luggage. Sadly, neither dream was fulfilled in the end....... She was full of compasion..My mother was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, and SN would lend her support to me while my mother was undergoing her various treatments. Even after SN was herself diagnosed with cancer and was under-going treatments that left her drained and often unable to keep up our former frequency of contact, after she heard of my mothers passing in October SN was on my phone sending condolences. That was the kind of person she was. In the end, I can't believe how short a time it was. One week she was living life as if nothing would change,.and the next she had completely lost the use of her arm. From there until her passing it was a scant 4 months, much of it filled with the pain of various treatments that in the end proved unsuccessful. She would still joke to me in those times though about how some in GD would look down on her as a "taker" rather than a "producer" because she was so reliant on others at that point. She absolutely hated not being self-sufficient due to her illness , and when the treatments at one time seemed to give her enough mobility to work for short periods and again post on ARF, she was thrilled. As recently as September she was texting me, telling me not to worry about her, and that while she was tired, she was doing well. Those of you who took the time to visit with her or reach out to her in her rough period these last few months, she appreciated and treasured those times immensely. I think that she is probably the closest thing to a friend I have developed from being on this site, and I will sorely miss the sound of her voice on the phone or seeing her on-line here.

Can't believe I missed posting in here, because I certainly recall reading the thread some time ago.
I always really enjoyed talking with Splint. Had a lot of fun with her, and I remember being disappointed when she left for awhile and then when she stopped posting the last time. I sure do miss her. TC -- thanks for posting what you did. I also remember watching her work on things from time to time, and I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned that. |

Clearing out my inbox. Her message will stay.
I miss her posting. A strong lass even to the very end. I regret that I had but one visit with her and she left this world a mere few weeks before I would return to TB. I hope things are going well for her daughter. If anyone has any info, it would be appreciated. I still have her texts in my phone. Just us being goofy up until the last moments when all she could manage to type was a smiley face. I will *ALWAYS* laugh when I hear about menopause, thinking of her clever retort to joecoastie. Cheeky, smart, witty, sharp as a knife. The world lost a great one with her. She wouldn't say so, I dare anyone to say otherwise. If I had words, I'd make a day for her. |

Been thinking about her a lot lately. She tried to knock some sense into my head when I was making stupid decisions in life. She was a good soul, and I miss her. I hope her daughter is doing well in life.
Splint, I hope to give you thanks some day "in person" |
