Good morning from the west coast, ladies!

Not sure if I am glad or sad to have missed most of the discussion last nite and this morning!! I've read most of it and have made a few general overall conclusions.

Couple of comments:
1) I LOVED April's "let's listen to Meryl" commentary on pg. 102. Like I have said before, you don't just lose those feelings IF you actually invested yourself in someone else. We need to remember that both MnM have commitments that may have predated dwts--or have been the result of their success there (at least in part). Meryl is a serious student (as was I in those days), I know I would never have considered taking a week's trip overseas when just beginning a new term in school. Remember also, Meryl and Charlie haven't been doing college courses for at least a year because of Olympic training, etc.

2) Personally Maks looks rather uncomfortable in that pic with the 21 yr. old dame on the plane. She looks like an air head to me--and he is certainly not displaying any outward affection, which we know is his usual style. He knows that whatever pics are taken will be blown up on the internet. I am sure Meryl knows that as well.

3) Any serious and savy businessman will take advantage of something like this charity event for two reasons: a) exposure and b) to write off all expenses by conducting other business interests (Cantamessa) in the same general location. So it is most likely that the dame is going to model jewelry for Cantamessa also and may be sponsored by them--as Maks may well be also.

4) Does it really make sense to think Maks would be interested in a 21 yr. old BLOGGER who puts pics of herself all over the internet for $$????? What sort of character does that exhibit??? NONE! IF Maks falls into that, he is not the person we and Meryl think he is, which would be the biggest disappointment of all!! If he wants a private life, it wouldn't be one with a blogger!!!!

So I guess we shall have to see how this ends. Meanwhile, there is no rain here today so I'll just dance in the sun with you guys!

Agree with all you say, Jet.  We can still also listen a little to Maks.  He has said after all that he would be a one-woman man for the rest of his life.  Lets give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't mean that to be a different one ever so often.   
I need to go now.    Cheers!!

 

 
Good point, Gabriele!  Glad to have a chance to "see" you!  Have a good day down under!

Well, I lied... Was taking care of internet business and couldn't help myself from going to tumblr.  There is a picture of the plane and Maks and Devin are definitely there together.  Smiling.  the plane is not full.  Hate to say this, but he is definitely taking her as his date.  She really isn't  that cute.  Just big boobs.  But if that's what he wants, so be it.

Meryl is clearly at home doing her classwork.  She just posted that her computer died in the middle of doing her work!  I want her to be happy, and right now I don't think Maks is in that equation.  He looks pretty busy with the bikini gal.  He said he wanted someone to look up to in his partner.  Hmm, looking up to a 21 yr old bikini model?  Maks and Mery are not together, and I think we need to accept that.  The sound you hear is my heart cracking.

Yes, I saw that on tumblr too and that is why I am so upset.  Has anyone brought it over here yet?  It does look kind of couplish to me.

So, he didn't want anyone to think he and Meryl were dating, but he doesn't care if they think he is with this girl? Maybe he and Meryl ARE just friends. Well, let him get involved with this model and see where it goes! IMO, she is just someone to ____!

hey guys, "hold my hand"....I know alot of people are confused about whats going on with Maks and the model and well I wish i had the answers for you, but I don't.  I do believe Meryl knows exactly whats going on and is ok with it...she was just liking Vals tweets yesterday and I don't see any major changes in how MNM are reacting to each other....so they are still friends...how much farther and deeper that goes only MNM knows...but no matter what they have given us alot of joy and a whole "sisterhood" of friends....we can only choose how we react...we can let it get us down and stress and worry and hide from this little rain storm our ship has run into or we can choose to  dance in the rain....this doesn't mean we have to like the situation or even all agree with each other...it simply means remembering rainstorms also give us rainbows and looking for those rainbows together...we will probably see more we don't like just like the JLO thing but that turned into nothing and this might too...but whats the worst that will happen?...MNM will remain friends and so will we...we started out as just MNM shippers but now we are so much more than that we're friends....and if we never get another thing from MNM to me that alone will make season 18 of DWTS amazing and i will always be gratefull to MNM for giving us that....so does anyone else want to dance in the rain???....and not worry about whats going on and just enjoy other things and remember to look for the rainbows (and there are alot of them on this ship)....and maybe one day we will find the pot of gold at the end of one of our rainbows....

April, everything you have said is valuable; I'm just feeling a little depressed today. I have read comments on the internet during the past six months, and some people say that Meryl is too good for Maks. I have never heard anyone say that Maks is too good for Meryl, but they have said that she is not like his past girlfriends -- not beautiful enough, not glamourous enough. Well, where did dating the beautiful, glamorous ones get him?  And even if he is taking this model as a date, would he really want to marry her (ever?) and have her be the mother of his children. There is either nothing to this or he will have to find out, once again, that he doesn't know to pick them.
