Jill's Blog

Today, I ran into a friend of mine at Citerella, a local gourmet food shop. After catching up…I remembered I had grabbed a red candle from our store before I left and threw it in my bag. For some reason, I decided to give it to Mitchell as a small gift. He told me he had just came back from Ricky’s and could not find a red candle to use for dinner tonight. Was that a miracle? Please let me know if you had a miracle happen to you today!

    Jill, I cannot believe I am taking the time to write to ANY reality show,but I have to say there is something about you that is real. most of the time I am a hardworking,what I consider to be a “real, underpaid, struggling Long Island working housewife, and I felt genuine annoyance at what appeared to be the ridiculous complaints and nonsense that went with ” the real housewives” real is waiting For LIPA to turn you off because you are 6 months behind, real is being overdrawn at the bank because if you want to maintain your NYS car insurance you must pay it….(silly them)….real is working 70 hours a week and cannot afford to get so much as a thousand dollar carpet laid down because of many, many difficulties which I will not bore you with but suffice to say just in the last 2yrs I lost my 42 year old brother in a freak accident, my sister who was my best friend and we spoke to each other every day for most our lives just to reassure ourselves that we were okay, went to the hospital with a headache on 7/27th and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, was given 6-12 months to live and died labor day weekend 4 weeks later….my mother at 73 got into bed and said pretty much I am done and eventually due to her already existing breathing issues, not getting out of bed is a death sentence, which she pronounced on herself, I don’t blame her, but I am drowning in what I can only describe as a couple of squirrels having an ax fight in my head and no one is winning……As Lynda (my sister who is not here) would say, Nancy, land the plane, I digress, you are a joy to watch, you are the real deal even though I can’t imaging sleeping through a night without waking up feeling like I am drowning….you are real and funny, and you remind me of a gumball machine, the nickle goes in and the thought comes out, there is no time to stop that gum from coming out, its already in motion…..You mentioned once that you were not the popular girl in school and I honestly don’t remember why, but I do remember thinking, how sad is it that teenagers (most) can’t see past the next days compliments, you must be killing them sweetie, you are absolutely the most beautiful one on the show, your skin is flawless,your smile lights up the camera, you adore your husband and daughter and lets not forget Ginger….you are generous with no agenda. How incredibly rare, I hope your stepson is recovering , that is not an easy disease to deal with, am I jealous of the protection your money gives you? yes. do I covet it. No. your a great mom, sister, friend and daughter, not to mention wife. you don’t belong with people like Ramona, not because I don’t like her, I don’t know her, but the glitch here, is I would never want to know her or quite honestly, other than Bethany, any of the other woman. You are a breath of fresh air, and I think your brutal honest is hilarious, when my sister Lynda used to see an unattractive baby (yes there are,also incredibly rude ie:Francios) she would lean over and ask me if I happen to have a banana on me because clearly there was a monkey in the room…..she would never have said it to anyone else, but brutally honest with me, and I loved her for it….you bring pleasure to many of us….thanks….Nancy

      Hi Nancy..it feels good to vent sometimes doesn’t it? Time does make things less painful though never forget. Nor would you want to. Good luck and thank you for your kindness. Jill
