Hello Everyone! It's nice to be here. I've spent some time reviewing some of the threads- there's so much to go through and it's all very intersting. I was wondering, and maybe this has been addressed already, does anyone know of a picture of Robert Brewer that may be available to look at? I am so curious to know what he looked like. Ok. I'm going back to the forums to get aquainted. Thanks everyone!

HIGH There

Hi optimystic! Thanks for answering. Robert Brewer was Linda Goodman's lover in Gooberz- the Leo. He was the man who she believed to be Bill Snyder. I know he left her and is still alive. I just wonder if anyone knows of a pic of him.

Also, can anyone tell me how to get the word 'stranger' out from under my name??? Thanks!

Dear peedalis,

Another Pisces - yippee!! Hope you like it here as much as this one does.

Um, what does 'peedalis' mean, if you will share?

I'm sure 'stranger' will disappear and that you are not a stranger.

Opti, didn't you read Gooberz? !!!

Love,

Hi Piscesdreamer! Thank you for your welcome. It's nice to meet you too. What day are you? I'm Feb 26. Oh the numbers 4 and 8 do follow me...and 26 is so descriptive of my life. Anyway, I see that I am no longer 'stranger' and am now 'member' so that's good. I am just soooo curious to know what Brewer looks like. There HAS to be a pic somewhere. I like to put a face to name no matter what, and I would love to see pics of Linda G's children, etc, but so much was written about RB that it really grabbed me. I've read Gooberz so many times and get more out of each reading. I found this site while doing some research and I thought it would be a great way to meet others who have some of the same questions. Someone must know something!

ooops, forgot to explain 'peedalis'...if you have pets, you'll get even better what I mean when I explain that I had a sweet pet rabbit named Reggie several years ago. Somehow, very quickly, his name mutated and changed forms many times and eventually became 'Peedalis'. I could outline the progression, it was about 15 names long, but you get the idea. He passed in 1998 and I still miss him. This is a way of keeping him dear and near.

Hello
my membership here has been just under 4 years and I come and go in waves.. and quite a few people have asked this same question..Gregory our Webmaster has gone from us now and passed on but there was a post where Gregory said that he had seen a picture of the 'Brewer Of Magic" in a news paper article to do with football?? and that it was too
shabby to photo copy or that he didnt think it would turn out..anyway Id like to shoot my memory to pieces right now but thats only cause Ive got a splitting headache and shouldnt be here, well dont want to be but somehow felt the urge to get online.. hopefully youll know what I mean..
dont mind me I jump in if no one else does.
really its because I did wonder the same thing myself just days ago, which must be why the story is already in my head.
this must be the release valve, dont normally get brain aches...
ok so you think he is still alive Now in 2005.Well its all relative and possible and all the readers of Linda Goodmans Books must mull over the possibilites endlessly...

Hi Crazy Daisy,
Thanks for your reply. I will continue to look through the threads, not only to get acquainted and to learn things I didn't know, but to see about the post you're speaking of. I have a friend who spoke to Ruth (who lived next door to Linda G in CO) who told my friend a lot about Linda in general, and about Linda and Robert's relationship. It's hard not to feel nosy, and that's not how I want to be, but given how Gooberz touches so many people, and given how open Linda was with her feelings about love and being in love, it feels ok to talk about it all and wonder about what people looked like, etc. I guess I don't know for sure that Robert Brewer is indeed alive right now, but as of 2 years ago he was! I understand he's a very private person, and no wonder.

I have to say that in going through this site, it feels better and somehow more 'ok' than another site I found dedicated to Linda G. I mean no disrespect to people, but you know how a person can get feelings about things...so thank you for your reply!

hi again your post is such a wonderful contribution to the LG forum then, and to think that Goob was still alive 2 years ago will be a major comfort and yet again reinforce what some have believed all along. Maria "Write-On" lives in Colorado and took pictures inside and out of LG's slipping of the time track house.
I follow my gutt feelings too and am so plesased that I did read your posts today (missed them last night),as last week thinking (if I think about Goob) it was in relation to wondering how all the marine biology research went in regard to Dolphins.. what an amazing world we live in. Robert Brewer is a VIP-
very indeed private.

I hear you CrazyDaisy, things are so synchronous sometimes. I have to wonder why I've been thinking so much about this again. I've owned Gooberz (hardcover, none the less) for 14 years and it's traveled everywhere with me. I've read it numerous times and pick it up when I need some bit of wisdom. I know everyone who reads it can relate to it in so many ways, that's the intended magic of the book, but lately it's been a bit more intense and I've found myself thinking back to a lot of the questions I've had over the years of reading it. So many unanswered questions...after my friend spoke with Ruth, many were answered, but there are deeper questions that are so curious. Seeing what someone looks like is the least of it, but I am a visual and curious Fish so I want to see faces!! Anyway, I'm still on a search for a picture...I wonder too, how all of the marine bio went, and to be able to talk with Robert for just an hour would be amazing. What a karmic path! I'm going to investigate more threads now...hope you're having a great weekend.

Hi peedalis!

Welcome!!! Its nice to see people posting in this forum, since it tends to be so quiet. I always feel a bit like tip-toeing and whispering in here

I don't know alot about Robert Brewer, it sounds like you could probably tell us a bunch of stuff though. If you haven't discovered it yet, the site's "search" function is pretty powerful, you may find some deeply buried gems in there!

Love,
Terri

Hey Peedalis! Welcome...I don't think I'm able to help you with RB and his pictures, but I was wondering...what exactly is Gooberz about? I haven't gotten it yet--still a few more weeks of begging...giggles

Yes funny that you should ask if I was having a great weekend as we had our festival in town for the weekend, all sorts of displays and things to do. The night had a spectacular fireworks display just before the bands on stage come to an early close for the night, mainly cause the last band had a big gig somewhere else the next day.
So when I came online, geting ready for the big day was what I should have been really doing
will try and think of the time frame that post about the pic was made. If I do find it, will bring it up and you may possibly see it here in this forum. Unless you find it first.

Hi Terri, Libra and CD (is it ok if I call you that??)! And thanks again for the warm welcome. CD, I actually did find the post by Gregory about the pic of Brewer and a pic of Sally. Unfortunately, the thread just ended with no follow up. I wish Gregory had said what newspaper Brewer was featured in or why, or a date, but he didn't. And he said he didn't think the pics of Sally were scannable, so no luck with those either. I've been trying all kinds of searches to see what I can come up with. I even found, on page 613 of Gooberz, a scenario where Linda, who was in NY at the time, calls to speak with Robert and he tells her how he had a photo shoot with a photographer for the cover a magazine. In it, he was going to talk about nutrition and fasting. So...of course I'm trying to use that in a search too to see if any such magazine exists.

I'm not sure why it's suddenly become so important for me to 'see' the people in Linda's life. Even Linda...there aren't many pics of her. I saw one of her sitting in front of her typewriter and it didn't even look like her. It was kind of weird.

Anyway, I'll let you know what I come up with if I do. I often wonder what it must be like to be him- being such a foundational figure in the works and teachings of Linda G and to know that so many people would love to talk with him. Well, he IS a Leo, so I imagine all of the potential attention is pretty wonderful...

So glad you had a great weekend CD! I had to work yesterday, so my weekend this weekend was Sunday only. And it was a good one.

Terri- I'm not sure how much more I know that people in this forum don't already know. We have all done our own research though, haven't we? I guess some of what I found out that may be insightful was from a friend who spoke with Ruth. This was a few years ago. Some of what Ruth said was hard to hear. I guess it 'humanized' Linda and the people in her world, which isn't bad, but sometimes it seems as though we tend to forget that being human means having good moods or bad moods...and of course I idealized Linda G and Gooberz without even knowing it (Pisces in me!) so I came to Earth with a thud after finding out a few things. I guess the main thing that I DIDN'T know until my friend found out, was that unlike in Gooberz, Robert never came back. He married the Scorpio (Catherine?). And it upset me terribly for a long time. I wanted the story to have ended the way Linda wrote it. In a way it did, in her spirit, but you know what I mean. There were other things that were hard to hear about how Linda and Robert treated each other. I know every relationship has all moods, but again, being so involved in the sweetness of Gooberz made for a hard landing on Earth once some characteristics became known. Apparently Robert teased Linda a lot- even about her love for animals. And apparently LInda was extremely difficult to live with. Very up and down and a chain smoker!! There are other things, but I don't want to go on so much right now. I'm new here and all!

Libra...I have no way of knowing how to tell you what Gooberz is about!! Oh dear...it's an amazing work of art that molds itself to all of us. And it's an amazing insight into the life and mind of Linda G...and what a love story. Not sure what else to say. I've had my copy for 14 years and it still unfolds for me.

I must go to bed now! Work tomorrow...
Hope everyone is having a great night.

Hello again
yes CD is fine
ok so it was the pic of Sally that was unscanable.
have been curious to read it all again, It does not surprise me that he married someone else, as for some reason the book conveyed to me that he did not come back.
He was 20 years or so younger than Linda wasnt he?
CD

Now that's my kinda guy...

Robert A. Brewer

initials = R. A. B.

backwards it's...

B. A. R.

Brewer
1.)Someone who brews beer or ale from malt and hops and water
2.)The owner or manager of a brewery

Yep! That sounds like a Drunkard's Dream if I ever did see one!

Much LOve & LIght,

Robbie Robertson & The Band
Thanksgiving Day, 1976

Yup getting real interesting now

Thing is Linda talked of Bill Snyder who rhymed with Apple Cider.
while that can be non alchoholic it was Bill Snyders drinking that Linda talked about, referring to drowning in a sea of Vodka, funny she should wind up with a Brewer.

My my...how very interesting this thread has become! Perhaps we should rename it...but this is what's so very amazing about discussions and spiraling into other realms.

I think Linda was indeed private to a great degree BUT...she also put her life in the limelight in many ways. To write about such intimacy and to convey her feelings as she did- well it seems as though she WANTED to get people discussing her life and in general, the topics she proposed. Gooberz is VERY personal and very intimate and to expose her feelings in that way tells me that she trusted her readers immensely. So I feel as though it's ok to have these musings and wonder about the people she wrote about. Otherwise she wouldn't have written about them. In no way would I want someone's privacy to be violated, but I am curious!! I have so many questions and I want to see pictures!!

Some of my questions aren't just about the people or relationships LG had, some are questions she raised in Gooberz in general. Like: What was the 'secret mission' that she and RB were part of that involved karma higher than their own? Or how about the mystery of John, Spirit, Water, Fire...I think she actually reduced it to the mystery, or secret of Water and Fire (and I am a water sign and my significant other is a Fire sign so you can imagine how this drives me nuts!) And how about the way she used numerology sometimes. There's a whole verse where she is analyzing she and RBs last meeting and she goes through a fascinating analysis of the numbers involved. She chooses to use their name number values instead of birth values, which I realize any of us has creative and 'intuitive' license to do, BUT... she doesn't explain WHY she chose the numbers she used, when analyzing with a combo of birth numbers and name numbers would have yielded more comforting answers for her. That's just more my opinion than anything else, but since I have 4 orbs in Aquarius then my curiousity and science mind get the better of me sometime. I ask WHY a lot.

And how about the fact that she doesn't mention her living children or Sam Goodman in Gooberz? Odd...

I know the time lines of Gooberz and Star Signs are wacky, but she explains that in Star Signs. They had to be published out of the order in which they were written. An interesting fact is that although she mentions Robert Brewer as an editor in the first few pages of Star Signs, he was not a part of her life at that point and hadn't been for years. The two of them were only together for little more than a year when he left her. And yes, he was 20 years younger than she.

So there are some things that I think we can all be curious about without violating someone's privacy. I figure if Linda wrote it, it's open for discussion!

Here's something: has anyone ever wondered about the fascinating fact that some signs can never be some numbers? Like there will never be a '30' Pisces, or the very COOL fact that there is only a '29' Pisces every 4 years. What's up with that? I wish the Chaldean texts talked about that!! Even astrologically, the way Mercury can only ever be in the sign that the sun is in or the one that immediately preceeds or proceeds it...it just makes one spiral into the very many interesting things about human nature and personality.

Thank you Opti for looking more deeply into my stagename. You ask what color Reggie was. The sweetie was a gray and white Lop who was never kenneled. He was litter trained and had the run of the house. He was an Aquarius (Feb 4, double Uranus vibe) and VERY quirky and independant. He was a rescue and lived with me for 8 years. I never lexi-d PEEDALIS, but I instantly SEE: SLIDE, SLIP, PLEASE, SPEED and SLEEP in the word. And SEED. I'll have to look into this more closely, and wear my DALI clock earrings while doing so.

Thank you all for such a nice welcome. You're terrific!
Goodnight,
