You are quite simply, the best. The most honest, the most supportive, the most loving and affectionate and fun friend. Keep being you-

It would be a hit if you ,Bethany and Alex did a show!The rest really make me ot want to watch any longer.

you absolutely did not stab anyone in the back...you are the most honest of them all..that should count for something...you go girl...i think you are ramonariffic!!!!

Ramona, you really should have named your wind "Turtle Time", you would've sold a ton. LOVE YA ANYWAY

Why do you care what Kelly does? A true friend would never intentionally hurt you...therefore she is not a true friend.People are in your life because they add to it or they are not...it is really that simple.

Congrats on your Award. If you invited me I would have Been there w/bells on,LOL! And yes they have always been that way. They are what the rest of us call 2-faced (and both ugly)! They talk about you as soon as you turn around. It will be a good lesson for you to learn, and see, how people percieve you guys. Not that you guys are any different than us. But you know the saying "outside looking in" . At first I didnt mesh with you. I only sawour first side. The little obnoxious one, lol. But then I saw a person w/.... timing issues. =) I like how your maturing in wisdom. You have a beautiful family God bless you.

Ramona, what did you think of the Alex and Sonja thing when you saw it? Congrads on your award you deserve it!

Ramona you are currently in a three way tie for favorite Housewife. I have grown to love you. Strangely enough you started out as one of my least favorites (you, Alex and Bethany.), LuAnn and Jill at one time were my favorites... wow look what happens when you get to know people, and see them in action.
LuAnn is the last person who should talk about backstabbing, she has a black belt in that. She is the type of person that insults people and then looks shocked and appalled that you would deem to stand up for yourself (that is what she finds rude about you, you do not take their crap.) You say it to their faces that is what is great about you, it is also what drives LuAnn nuts. I was very outraged by Jill at the wedding, then I noticed it is her and LuAnns new thing. Make sure to say that you and Alex have know business being anywhere that it is above your stations in life to socialize with their kind of people.

RAMONA,
"WERE THEY ALWAYS THIS CATTY...?" ARE YOU SERIOUS????
THESE WOMEN DEFINE THE WORD!
YOU WATCH WHAT WE SEE...THAT QUESTION FLOORED ME!

Ramona! I hope you know what an inspiration you are! I'm 17 years old and about to attend college & major in business in the fall. The advice you give on the show really motivates me to create the very best for myself and reinforces the idea that I have the ability to achieve anything I want to as long as I work for it. Thank you for that! You are an amazing, inspirational woman. <3 I hope to one day be as successful as you.

Congratulations on your honor!! Proud to see a self made woman being celebrated for a change. Hope this will inspire other young women to follow in your footsteps. Also, I live in Chicago, where can I purchase your Pinot Grigio!

Regarding the RSVP Kelly sent you...I dont think it is fair to ever expect someone to give you an explanation as to why they can not attend. If they offer one, well that is great-if not you really shouldnt expect it. She was respectful and classy with her response to you and to expect anything more was wrong.

As far as Kelly going to support you, sometimes things come up that you can't prevent. . . . I'm not sure I would have gone after the way you acted towards her at the reunion. Yes, she definately do have issues but you acknowledge that and should have handled the situation better. Throughout this season, you have repeatedly called her crazy names. Yes, you have said this to her face, however, does that give you permission to go around saying it behind her back as well. Yes, you do say stuff straight to people's faces, however, you stay stuff behind folks back as well. You are very entertaining but all the cast say they behave one way and act another once the cameras are rolling. Last year, Jill got slammed for behaving the same way you are this season.

Hey Ramona! Good for you for telling it like it is! Enjoyed your blog. You are my favorite housewife on the show (besides Alex), as everyone knows where they stand with you, and you'll always tell it like it is. You have made some bold statements which you were crucified for at the time, only to be proven right at a later time. You are a great judge of character. Congratulations on your self-made business success AND life success! I agree with the commenter who suggested you write an autobiography. I'd love to read it!

You are way more real than any of those other phonies, you do provide comic relief and bold statements, and you'll be the one with a life when the Housewives Series ends. Good for you, Ramona! :)

Kelly has now officially become a back-stabbing bully!

Ramona, you are such a role model! It takes a lot of guts to be able to tell people exactly what you are thinking sometimes, so props to you! Who wouldn't prefer an honest friend over a few insincere hypocrites? You are great!

Ramona,

You are FABULOUS!! You are successful, pretty, have a great marriage, and are honest with everyone - and that is so refreshing! I get a kick out of the things you say because I am straight forward like you. SOme of my friends get mad at me but most of them appreciate my candor. I always say, "What kind of friend would I be if I lied to you and told you what you wanted to hear?" Most people lie to spare feelings and getting flack form their friends and acquaintences - I do not. I say what I mean and mean what I say. You are like that, and I think that most successful women are like that. Keep being YOU. Mario fell in love with YOU, Ramona, for who you ARE. Stay the way you are - do not apologize for the way you handled anything, but I am proud of you for recognizing that you can sometimes handle things better, just like all of us. Don't worry about Kelly and LuAnn. LuAnn is such a jealous person (like Jill), and Kelly, well Kelly is sweet, but she is not playing with a full deck, as you know.

Hi Ramona, you did a great job on the runway at least jill wasn't there this time around criticizing you about the way you wore your necklace last year. Don't pay no mind to kelly. Focus on your family because at the end of the day your daughter and husband is all that matters.

Congratulations on your being honored. It is exceptional & you & your family should be very proud.

If someone simply says they cannot make it to an event that should be good enough. I can't stand Kelly but nobody needs to give a reason. It's nobody's business. Just move on. Life is too short harbor on-going thoughts about it.

Sonja & Alex made up? Alex just had to suck up Sonja's horrible behavior just like she used to w/Jill & it will eat Alex up. Who needs a friend like that. Sonja was so disrespectful @ that lunch. Why would anyone waste their time w/her or be her friend? I know you asked why someone would say that but that's what I'm asking about this Sonja. Apparently she wants more air time & is willing to treat her friends like crap to get it. She was nice last year so I was surprised w/this year. Cindy is nice but she's new so I'll wait to decide.

You do say whatever you're thinking to whomever and don't so much speak behind their backs. Your daughter is becoming such a beautiful lady. She was so little when the show started. And your husband is a hunk of burning love too.

I wish you happiness.

You inspire many young and maybe not so young women, thank you for that.

U crazy...thats all im saying.....May God bless you greatly...Hopefully

You are my absolute favorite housewife! I love that you tell it like it is, and are not fake, unlike some of your castmates. I really hope you call them out on their crap at the reunion. What a bunch of phoney baloney malarky.

I love that the show is showing more of the business side of you. You are an inspiration for woman everywhere. Keep doing you, forget the haters. You know what they say, the best revenge is living well. You will continue to live well, well after the housewive franchise fades off.

You're my favorite Ramona...and the only reason I still watch the show!

STOP. THINK. WHY WOULD SHE NOT SHOW UP TO AN EVENT SHE KNEW ABOUT LONG A GO? I HAVE KNOWN A FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED. I PLANNED TO GO FOR OVER A YEAR. NOW, 3 DAYS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS VERY CONFUSED. 1 DAY BEFORE HER WEDDING I GO TO THE DOCTOR AND HAD VARIOUS TESTS. I REALLY AM NOT UP TO KNOCKING ON HER DOOR, PHONING HER, NOR SHOWING UP WITH A TEAR STAINED FACED. I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, A MEDICAL CONDITION AND I AM NOT READY TO SHARE IT WITH HER OR ANYBODY ELSE. HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD WITH OUT THEM KNOWING WHO I AM BY TELLING YOU WAIT BE FORE JUMPING THE GUN AND SEE WHY SHE COULD NOT BE THERE ON YOUR SEPECIAL DAY. I WILL TALK TO MY FRIEND WHEN SHE GETS BACK FROM HER HONEYMOON. IF SHE WILL SPEAK TO ME. THE DOCTOR SAID I HAD A MILD STROKE. A STROKE AT MY AGE. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY DEALING WITH THIS AND I CAN NOT DEAL WITH BRIDEZILLA RIGHT NOW.

Ramona,

You were great at the fashion show. I am sorry the snarky Countless felt the need to make her usual comments that make her seem as though she believes she is better than everyone. She needs to actually READ the book she claims to have written. It takes a lot of class and bravery to get back on the proverbial horse as you did and do not let anyone detract from that.

I agree with Stella--we are aware of the "issues" and are smart cookies who get it. <3

Ramona - You are absolutely wonderful!!! If it wasn't for you and Alex I would not be watching the show. Please continue being the lovely woman you are!

Ramona,

This season you really are my favorite housewife! You're funny and smart and as to that 'unfiltered' mouth of yours, well we all suffer from one of those on occasion.

You are beautiful, accomplished, happily married and very generous. That is so much more than I can say about some of your cast mates. Keep being you and being true to yourself. I sincerely enjoy your honesty.

Love, love, love the fact that you take ownership of your behavior. Good for you! Others on the show should do the same.

You are awesome Ramona! Congrats on the award. Keep speaking the truth Ramona!

Congratulations Ramona! Your speech was very good. Too bad Sonja couldn't stop talking while you were speaking. I also think it was rude of Kelly and Luann not to come.

Loving the renewed Ramona! You are the only one who has shown any level of personal growth over the seasons. The rest of them have let it all go to their heads. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Ramona! As a college student getting ready to graduate, it's inspiring to see another woman be so successful! You deserve it! :)

Hi Ramona!
Soooo proud of you and what great accomplishments you have made!
Woman Entrepreneur of the year and yes you deserve it babe!
Keep up the great work and for being such a shining example
of what it really means to overcome obstacles in life and succeed.

Ramona, I thought that you did a great job walking the runway. You are a wonderful role model. The best thing about this episode was no Jillzarin.

RAMONA,
HAHA-ONE BLOGGER WROTE SHE'D LIKE TO GET IN YOUR HEAD FOR A WEEK TO FIGURE YOU OUT-THAT IS FUNNY!
YOU DO FLIP-FLOP QUITE A BIT, YET, I THINK FOR THE MOST PART YOU ENJOY WHEN EVERYONE GETS ALONG....
YOU CAN STIR THE POT AND LAUGH ABOUT IT, SO AT LEAST YOU ARE AMUSING YOURSELF SOMETIMES WHICH IS GOOD. YOU DO AMUSE ME QUITE A BIT.
YOU'RE JUST A TAD QUIRKY, BUT LOVEABLE.

Ramona, you rock!! I was pretty shocked by the rude comments of Kelly and Luann last night. Wow. I'd steer clear of those two because you are clearly 1) a better person and 2) better off without them around. I'm not surprised the two of them seem to have become close this season. Birds of a feather. Thank heaven, for us, you are nothing like them and totally a joy to watch.

You are so awesome!!! Loved your blog this time :)

Ramona you are the realist woman on the show and your an icon for all women. just keep on keeping on girl i really dig your style. i wish i could met you and the other women on the show..... just to spend time in your world. iam and probley will always be poor so i just fantasises living through your life.(smile) take care Ramona and have a blessed day

You are truly lovely. You tell it like it is and yes, sometimes it's hurtful but at least your not lying and back stabbing. Good for you, you are inspirational.

Congrats on your honorary acknowledgement. That is awesome. To be hurt by Kelly is a waste of Ramotion. She is from an other planet. Plant "Out of her damn mind". I don't know how she got picked for this show and I certainly don't know how you all tolerate her.

Congratulations, Ramona, on your award and your success. I think you are fantastic and an amazing role model.

Congatulations on your award, get over Luann and Kelly. Look in the mirror!

Ramona,
I agree that waiting 2 days before the event was rude and even when you have your issues she should have supported you. If it was me I would stop even trying with her.

Ramona
You are the BEST!!! I've grown to love you. You are a character, a smart business woman, a good mother and wife. You are the type of woman I could be friends with. One always knows where the stand with you unlike the other women (Alex excepted). You are the BEST!!!

Love You

Great job Ramona! You have become my very favorite housewife and the voice of sanity in an insane group.

You did great on the runway. And own your "ramotion". Hell, at least you have a heart, unlike the others who only care about their social standing. You have a beautiful family and you are a great mom. Don't let them change you. Esp Kelly. That girl is whackadoodle. Luann turns any way the wind blows. Jill hasn't been shown much this season, so I don't know about her. I hope you still keep in touch with Bethenny because she was the only one who would tell the truth.

Hi Ramona!
Great to see you again! I rather have someone in my face any day of the week than back stabbing. Consider the source! Kooky Kelly and wishy washy LuAnn. Kelly scares me. Check out the lunch she had with the new housewife. Check out her eyes.
"The Womens Venture Fund" couldn't have pick a better person to honor.
You are and inspiration! Keep being honest, it is refreshing!

I think it is wonderful how you have succeeded in your business endeavors, but you need to work on your personal relationships. Stop stirring the pot with Alex. It is unbecoming and demeans what you have worked so hard to do. Also, lay off Kelly. She is a terrific mother and only strives to live a happy, healthy life...the glass is half full in other words. There are enough doom and gloom people around. By making other people look bad, does not make you look good or better.

Congrats on your award. You worked very hard for it and no one deserves it more than you. You're speech was great. I know you were nervous, but you pulled it off just fine. As far as being a runway model...not your're strongest point LOL

Ramona, I'd love to spend one week with you and get inside your head. I like you and cant stand you all at the same time. There is something really wonderful about you but I think your hiding your shadow side a whole heck of a lot.. Hoping the season ends well for you.. xoxo
