Ok I am going to think about all the happenings and then post something when I get my thoughts together...The one thing that I can say without a doubt is...
We all started on the ABC board to support then ship MnM...and somewhere along the way this group of us became more than just "fans" of MnM...we became friends with each other   The when the waters on ABC became to rough for us to sail we turned our ship around and found a "safe harbor" for us to stay...we went through a lot to get here so that we could stay together and not lose anyone along the way.
Don't get me wrong I love Maks and Meryl, their dancing, their chemistry, them together and I will be the first one to say that I truly believe that there is/was something special very special between them that developed during Season 18, but their relationship as a "couple" was in a way "our" meaning everyone on tumblr, Instagram, twitter, all the boards and not what they said they had.  Will or could it become more sure but right now it is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it because as Maks has always said "it is their relationship".  
The one think I can say is that I know what "our" relationship in the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Message Board" is, I am am not going to let MnM or their actions in their personal lives, or anyone else come between  "us".  I feel I have become close enough with you to call my friends...no my sisters and for that I am greatful...call me silly, nuts or even odd...but it is true for me.  I don't just enjoy coming on here and talking about MnM or DWTS but about us...what we are doing or going or have done...our days and our likes and dislikes about what ever we are talking about...our Monday Man Crush and TBT...our cakes and bar recipes....there is more to the "Sisterhood" than MnM.  

You know today I was thinking about MnM today and what their lives must be like living in a fish bowl all the time...no matter what you do our where you go you are being looked at, photographed, harrassed, etc....
Then there are people like us "shippers" as we are called...now we are no way like some of them on tumblr cause some of the stuff they post on there is just WAY over the top, but you have people tweeting them and posting things about why this and why that.  Then when they have apperances and show the first thing they are asked is something about their relationship, why arent they together, when are they getting married and having children.  It has to be overwhelming for them, especially with their lives changing...so maybe just maybe with the new season of DWTS things about them will settle down and they will kinda become a little less out there and if there is anything there who knows, but again it is between the two of them and we will cheer them on when or if it does happen...so for now let them live their lives like it or not...but lets not let them break us up!!!

I know some of the sisters have said they won't watch the new season of DWTS, but hey I think it will be pretty good and I am excited for Val and Janel and excited to see what they can do...Whitney and and Alfonso, oh and Tommy Chong and Betsy Johnson...then there is Artem (he is cute), so no it is not MnM but it may be pretty good anyway...

So I am here for you to laugh with, cry with, and even have a drink and cake with then  when aprils hands are full I will hold your hand...

I absolutely love everything you just said and i feel the same way....this "sisterhood" has become so much more than just MNM shippers (although we are that)...we have become friends  and i love that even when we have a bit of rough waters we lean on each other and get through it togther...love all you guys

Ditto to all that, CEK. Together Forever -- I can just see that engraved in a wedding ring. Oh, slap me -- I can't help it! Love all you sisters.
 

LOL...oh that would be awesome on wedding rings

Thank you all for such warm welcomes! I'm not too savvy with this..and am unsure of how to respond so that it will read correctly....my posts are standing alone...should be more in conversation mode, but I don't know how to do it ....

Don't worry. It took all of us a while to catch on. Others more tech savvy than I can help you with an avatar (picture) and other stuff.
 

Yeah Carrie's good at that...she helped alot of us learn how to do that
