Ramona, love your jewelry!!!!!!!!!!!! In episode one of the present season, your assistant, I believe her name is Michelle, was wearing a large gold coin ring. I love it! Is it part of your jewelry line?

Thank you.

I love you Ramona! Don't think that you need to or should change for anything or anyone! Keep up the great endeavors!

I guess I'm must be watching the wrong or different housewives because Ramona is over dramatic and acts like she's a saint. I felt that their is a time and place to confront someone. Not at someones birthday infront of their parents. It just shows that she needs to show respect and class. By the way sometimes being honest and outspoken is not always a good feature.

Ok i watched the epiosde of sonja at her gathering for her friend brian's art. I have to agree with alexis, sonja was the one with the bad manners she started the conversation with alexis . Sonja you are loud and not very lady like. maybe you are taking lessons from Jill. you go Alexis. Ramona you would be a great friend to have.

Think about it people, Ramona was close close friends with Jeff for 20 years,
so it is very understandable that the very mention of Jeffs cigar was upsetting and brought back all those memories. If you have lost someone close, you know that feeling of sadness that comes over you when you come across a possession or memory of that person, I am sure they did not realize that it would upset Ramona so much, and so you can't really blame anyone, rather just understand Ramonas feelings. Ramona noone can know how you felt, but I wouldn't pursue the issue, and just hope for you it doesn't happen again.
With Love

Sorry Ramona, LuAnn's advice wasn't the problem, your execution was. Why is it so difficult for so many of you to understand when to put the sword down and fight another day?? If the host or the family member of a host tells you now is not a good time, then drop it! Call them the next day or send them a note. Don't keep pushing and pushing and pushing until it becomes an obvious scene! Poor form, very poor form.

Miss Romona, i love you, you are a card. You have no filter. But i love that you are an independet woman, and you are you are. you pull no punches. You go girl.

Ramona I feel so bad for you and Alex this year as it seems like the nasty girls are driving the show. I don't watch it anymore because of how Jill treated Bethenney and how Kelly has now become a saint but I read your blogs and I must say I miss you and Alex just wish you were hanging with better people.

Ramona,
I have watched this show from the beginning and you are by far my favorite. You are the most genuine on the show. Thank you! LuAnn wants to believe she knows 'best' but clearly has no clue on real life issues (i.e. street smarts). She is also insulting, just cloaks it in a smile and that helpful ''dear'' tone. Kelly clearly has mental health problems. Alex has a personality disorder and uses her 'victimization' a LOT. (or trying to get 'camera time' with her goofy husband) So, you just keep it REAL girl. Sonja is crazy, but I think she's a 'good' crazy because she seems to just put it out there to. Yeah, you do have moments - who wouldn't around all that craziness. You have a strong personality, not afraid of conflict. I think the others are. The best growth comes from conflict - like between you and Jill (miss her by the way). That way things get worked out and you move on. Everyone is too busy trying to be politically correct instead of just telling it like it is then moving on. So, keep on with what you are doing. It works for you. Let them back bite, because they will. Peace.

don't blame luann for the good advice she gave you. the advice she gave was meant for dealing with howie if he was willing to address the matter with you at the party. you should've backed off when he said he was not willing to talk about it. you chose to be persistent to the point of making yourself so upset. when you feel yourself getting out of control, you need to step back to compose yourself and think clearly.

Oh, Kate's sister was IN THE WEDDING, right? Yep. So if you are in the wedding, you can wear white. A guest, not supposed to!

Ramona, I'm a brunette, but I've got to tell you to STAY AWAY FROM THE BRUNETTES ON THIS SHOW!!! They are, quite simply, not nice people, and they don't want good things for you.

Avery has grown up so much! And the older she gets, the more she becomes a true cross between you and Mario.

Also, you are rocking that hairstyle that they do for your talking head interviews, with all the volume in the back--love it!

Oh Ramona,
Stay away from these gals they are out to get you. Keep it light with you and Alex and go back to being funny. You can tell they are getting to you, so maybe you drink a nice sparkling water whenever you are around them so you don't give them the chance to suggest you have a drinking problem.

I don't think Howie meant it mean to be saying he was smoking Jeff's cigar. Howie probably knew how much you cared for Jeff and was saying it in his honor. Don't be so dramatic, there is no way Howie said that to be mean! You should talk about people after they die, keep their memories alive, that is how you honor them. It doesn't matter if LuAnn told you to talk to Howie at the party it was inevitably your decision and you made it - bad choice, you shouldn't be a debbie downer at a party, those types of conversations should be in another setting, not at a party, and then you went on to rave about it to Cindy on her birthday! Then, you followed Kelly around and did the same thing to her??? What is happening to you, Ramona? You have better manners than this?

Ramona,

I like you, but you really tend to be dramatic. I can't really understand this whole situation you describe with Cindy's brother and him telling you that it was his cigar. Were his intentions really to make you upset? I think you think way too much into situations.

Just relax and have fun, you're more fun to watch when you're having fun!

Im sorry about your friend, I hope eventually God gives you the grace to cope with the loss! You are awesome KEEP IT UP!!

Ramona, You wrote, LuAnn gave me the worst advice: "Talk to him at Cindy's party." What's wrong with that? I don't think she meant insist on speaking with him while drunk and acting like a basket case.

I love Ramona....she keeps it real that's why some of the RW's don't like her. She says what's on her mind and 99% percent of the time she's absolutely RIGHT and they don't like and can't accept the truth because the truth hurts. The only thing that Ramona should change is just be a little more tactful with her truthfullness that's it! Don't hate her because she keeps it real.

Ramona, I am unfortunate enough to have lost several friends over the years and I understand the pain you are going through. It will never subside but you will be able to live through the pain as long as you let your mind dwell on your friend's life not his death. Now about the situation with Howie (Cindy's brother), have you ever stopped to consider that he wasn't rubbing the fact that he was smoking Jeff's cigar in you face and instead he was just telling you that they were Jeff's simply because he knows that you knew him? It doesn't sound like Howie was trying to hurt your feelings and he shouldn't have to apologize or talk to you about such a superficial incident. Your friend is dead and has moved on, he has no need for his earthy things so neither should you.

Ramona, you are taking alot hits this season (besides Alex). Just remember, you are a great business woman, a great wife and mother, and I rather hang out with you and Alex than anybody else on RHONY. STAY STRONG !!! Take the other comments from the women with a grain of salt !! They are all fake besides Alex.

You are right Ramona.

Ramona, I think you should feel sorry for your friend. If Jeff was as wonderful as you say, she certainly took a step down to be seeing Cindy's brother. First off, he has her for a sister and second that he is so tasteless that he has to announce that he is smoking a dead man's cigars. Think about that. He just has no manners. Just feel sorry for your friend.

Alex is the only one that has your back this season!
Invite Bethenny back over to kick some ass for you and Alex!
Next drink call it turtle time!

Ramona, That was an extremely insensitive remark Cindy's brother made to you.

Hi Ramona, I can feel your pain, but on the same note it was not the right time to talk about it, I agree with Cindy on this one call her up and set up a time and private area maybe her home or your home, and tell Cindy that this whole thing has been bothering you inside and you want to get this off of your chest. but definitely stay away from the brother the way he dismissed you like that was uncalled for.

Ramona, I don't understand what you mean that he was smoking Jeff's cigar? Was it a cigar from a company he owned or was it his favorite type? Not sure what you meant by this and why you were so upset he was smoking it?

Ramona, you are my girl! These other women are petty and mean spirited. You have a wonderful life to include friends and family. Don't sweat these "ladies".

Dear Ramona, you have really grown on me. I LOVE turtle time, lol! I wrote almost word for word exactly what you said about LuAnn and her children in her blog. I have a 13 yo son and now is when he needs me more than ever. Bravo may not post what i wrote to her so i wanted to tell you I could not agree with you more. In my opinion, she has never put in the time with her children. I would never send my daughter off to boarding school so young. I have seen so many episodes of her children looking longingly at her for attention and she goes out and hangs out at a bar or a dinner. I wish parents today would be parents and not wrinkly adolescents! You made a choice to have children and now it is your responsibility to raise them! I adore Alex and Simon and I am glad they are in your corner. The other ladies are uneducated bores with terrible accents and grandiose airs and I am really sick of watching them. They give all women a bad rep. You have done an amazing job with your darling Avery and your husband is a total hottie! love you xoxoxo

Ramona - The Royal wedding shows that you can wear white to a wedding even if you are not the bride..... LuAnn will have to update her book now!

You are adorable. I get you. What you see is what you get. I would like to suggest that your reaction to Howie smoking Jeff's cigar was a response to something else within yourself. You normally have a generosity of character that would supersede the impact of Carol's decision on you since it was her fiance that crossed. My feeling is that your reaction suggests something deeper is going. From what I've seen from you, it's uncharacteristic of you to put your feelings before Carols in a situation like this. Don't waste your time with Kelly. The only thing she's interested in is punishing you because you didn't pretend that she was stable. You can't let this person convince you that there's something wrong with you. She definitely brought it on herself and her lack of introspection will make it impossible to even be disagreeably comfortable around her.

I understand your feelings Ramona about your friend, just hang in there ok!

Ramona you are my favorite along side of Alex! Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't last season that the countess was having trouble with the kids?......sneaking out the windows and balcony? I get you! and can understand why these other woman don't .........they are so busy blowin smoke up each others butts and then stabbing them in the back..........they wouldn't understand! Please keep being you!

Ramona, I feel bad for you & Alex as it seems like the mean girls are ganging up on you both. Fortunately, you are both very strong women, you have loving husbands, and you have each other. Just know that no matter how many mean comments these women may make, you have many fans out here who love you!!

I felt bad for you tonight. Losing someone is awful and then to feel disrespected like that....no words. You did the right thing by trying to talk to him, it was Cindy who made it a big deal. Don't worry Ramona, you're good. People can see the truth pretty easily and all thier lies and snide comments don't make them look good.

Hi,

I am a recent viewer of the series and I must tell you that I truly admire you. I think you are a very hard working business woman and you seem to manage everything perfectly, your work and your family.
About the cigar incident, I understand your feelings and I understand that when it is about a dear friend that is no longer here, one doesn't have the perspective to be calm enough to talk about it. I must though tell you that probably the party was not the best place, but I also understand that you wanted to clear the air with your friend's brother. I think sooner or later you will clear the air and I am almost sure, he didn't do that to upset you... I just think sometimes people don't have the conscious how difficult it is for other people and how other people feel. But keep in mind they don't do it on purpose to hurt you. Just keep being on top as the amazing business and elegant woman you are.

I really like seeing you on the show and just forget about Kelly... This girl... I have no words... I am happy that you and Alex and Bethany are friends.

We love you in FL, Ramona!!!!

Ramona,
I saw you and the housewives on Rachael Ray recently and wish I'd written down what you said about how to start a business. Please repeat that advice sometime on one of your blogs.

Ramona,
I think I understand you and I like you alot. I think we all could tell that you were only trying to talk to Cindy's brother. You were not yelling at him at all. He was being very rude to you by refusing to talk to you. He had already been rude and insensitive to you by telling you that the cigar he had was your friend, Jeff's. It was very nice of you to try to talk the problem out with him. I don't know how you deal with some of these people.
You said one time that you have very dry eyes. I wanted to let you know that taking a fish oil supplement and drinking lots of water has helped my dry eyes immensely. And instead of traditional eye drops, I found some natural eye drops at a health food store that are wonderful. The eye drops are called Eyebright (Ephrasia). I hope they print this so you'll know about this eye information if you don't know already.

Luann gave you good advice. Approach Howie at the party in a non-confrontational way and explain your feelings to him. Unfortunately, you can't control every situation and Howie didn't want to have that discussion with you at the party. That's not Luann's fault. I understand that you are still grieving for your friend, but becoming hysterical and creating a scene was out of line. You need to respect the boundaries of others and not expect your feelings to prevail in every situation. Perhaps if you hadn't freaked out he would have agreed to discuss things with you at a later time.

We love you! Go girl :)

I totally related to you sitting there while others talked about something you weren't invited to.It's so uncomfortable!!! As grown adults you would think it wouldn't be done..I also think alot of the time everyone makes way to much of a comment or a situation. I didn't see the problem with you wanting your kind of wine at Cindys party. I think some of the ladies should lighten up.XOXOXO

Loved you Ramona, you were right to try to speak to Cindy's brother about your feelings calmly. I thought he looked ridiculous running away and hiding behind his sister and girlfriend. I think how he treated you with the whole cigar thing was crass and he should've apologized for it. Keep being as strong as you are. The other women are so phony and such backstabbers other then Alex. I really miss Bethany, since she left, the others have really shown how rude and horrible they can be. Also wondering why in the world Kelly is behaving like you've done something to her. She was awful on your trip and never took responsibility for her behavior, she's just plain nuts!!

Ramona, I feel your pain over Jeff's death, and agree Cindy's brother was insensitive. That said, if you are so upset about something that you're shaking and barely able to breathe, it's not the time to have a sensitive conversation, except with your therapist. Talk it over with family or a counselor until you can be calm about it. At that time, you may no longer find it necessary to speak with the one who offended you. You may have resolved your feelings about the situation on your own--after all, that other person is never going to make you feel better about losing Jeff, which is what this is really about; it's not about the cigar--but if you do still need to speak with the offender, you'll be able to do it an a way that's producive or at least less damaging to both. Keep working hard Ramona. Focus on your work and your family and yourself, not on others.

I just wanna say that Ramona you are a wonderful person and just bc you speak your mind dosent give the other girls any right to be so catty toward you! You are wonderful person and I look up to you so much! I am a mother of a wonderful 4 year old little boy and if I am half the mother and person you are then I will be very proud of myself! You are my favorite housewife so keep your head up they are all just jelous of your great personality...lol!!!!

Hey girl. I really like you and thought you were treated kind of crappy at Cindy's Party. But, you gotta learn how to hold back on some of your comments no matter how true they are. I usually agree with you. Sometimes it's good being the bigger, better person not saying anything. :)

Wow! keep on figuring it out. You can do it! and you do. You always land on your feet and your hands for the that matter. I'm trying to get my business off its feet and may I say you inspire me.

Ramona you are misunderstood. You did the right thing wanting to make things right with Cindy's brother. Your instincts are good and these other women are too self centered to notice. Keep up the good work. You're an inspiration to all young women looking to make it in the world.

Ramona I love you. However, you shouldn't be surprised when people don't like you or talk behind your back. Just because they don't say it to your face, doesn't make them any worse than you. You are out of control. But you crack me up. If I was your friend I would be scared everytime you opened your mouth. Especially around my parents. Yikes!

Ramona,

Considering that Kate Middleton's sister wore white at the Royal Wedding today, I hope that both you and Alex feel vindicated for your choices of wedding attire.

As to the comments of some of your cast mates about proper wedding attire, enough said. As I watched the wedding today, I imagined you and Alex with HUGE smiles.
