OOOO OOO OOOOO Thank you for starting this thread T!!!

I too have wondered and wondered. When I started here in late April, I had just finished reading the book and saw many many older threads and posts from RJ but nothing new. I figured I would eventually see something newer from her, either here on the boards or on the main site in her blog postings, etc. but as of yet haven't come across anything.

I second the motion

I remember seeing a post at one time from "Brenda" her friend from the book who stated that she still takes 100 mg of Topamax each day and planned to do so indefinitely as she felt it would keep her moderating for life...

I would love to know what supplements other than the All One that RJ still takes and also know how things are going with modding etc.

Thanks.

Great thread T...we used to hear from RJ all the time. She hasn't been on as frequently for some time now. HEY RJ...come out come out...wherever you are...

Roger, I agree, this is a great thread. I remember hearing from another MWOer (sorry, can't remember who) that RJ quit drinking altogether, because her husband had some medical issues where he was not able to drink at all. I don't know any more details, though, or when this was.
Brittzie, I remember RJ getting on to chat one night -- you were here too. It was like being in the presence of the Queen!

Yes she did quit altogether and was doing great last I heard. Hey RJ I miss seeing you around, hope you can check in sometime.

The last time i saw Roberta, she was wrestling crocodiles in Northern Australia. As she triumphantly stood on the pier, croc at her feet, she said...........'Just keep busy buddy'.

just a bump up

Yeah,
RJ hasn't been on the air for a while, but this site is now so huge!! She was on line in the early days while the site was new, and a bit more intimate.
And, she wants the members to self run and self control/monitor while she stays in the background.
I guess she has lots of site administrators while she pursues her usual occupation.
But, it would be nice for her to pop in every now and then.
In the end, do we really need to know her personal details and affairs?
Let's just thank her for organising this site.

Not trying to be nosy for RJ, but I think it would help many members if we knew all of Roger's questions. She did found the site, and is an inspiration to many. Also, her path of mods or AF, and how that path may change, may also be useful information for members. I for one would love to hear from RJ.

Wonder about that - I sent an inquiry to the board administrator about privacy issues and receive no response. I doubt she is the administrator, though.

For me, I have NEVER had such a sense of reading EXACTLY the right thing at EXACTLY the right time. I'd simply like to thank Roberta Jewell (or whoever she is) from the bottom of my Vodka soaked heart.

I spent hours digging in the archives a little while ago and loved reading RJ's posts... I would love for her to post again.

[nancy]

inquiring minds want to know reberta jewell..

Yes, it was nice to read her posts.

I just want to say, the more time that goes by, the more I learn about this, the more I think 'Roberta' was and still is way way ahead of her time. She deserves a lot of credit. I am not necessarily talking about whether the specific program outlined in the book works, seems like topa has too many side effects and the full particular hypno program is probably not practical given people's busy lives. But the way she saw drugs as potentially an integral part of treatment, her desire to find a private solution, the way she saw the importance of nutrition and community support, the fact that she found solutions appealing to women whereas the mainstream programs to me seem geared toward men. She was going against the dogmatic treatment tide and I really think she is amazing.

ditto that Nancy!

does anyone remember MWO video chat? I got to see and chat with the infamous RJ herself on video chat some years ago. Video chat was so funny we couldn't stop laughing long enough to form a proper sentence.

Hi Det,
I remember but didn't join in as I wasn't linked up. I bought the webcam but didn't hook up. Silly me.

Everyone else: RJ is probably aware of this thread.
