Re: The Key to Life Is......
I missed this one. Meryl liked Karina’s picture.
These are confusing vibes with the likes, etc. from Meryl. Just not sure what to make of it all--except that she likes the people she got to know on the show.
I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer. Meryl
We fell in love, but our way. Maks

Re: The Key to Life Is......
WOO HOO--yip yip! Riding the tide---and that isn't soap for CEK' s new washer!!LOL...I may even learn how to surf with all the waves we've been having but until i see concrete proof otherwise,( someone kissing someone on the lips or making public declarations of love and commitment to someone else)...I'm choosing to "ride the tide"
Well---Maks has already done plenty of public declarations!!! LOL We just don't know what we don't know...which means we speculate. I do wonder if Meryl could be in denial--or if she is unable to completely process how the whole thing could work. If I were in her shoes, that would be my biggest hesitation. There is no doubt there was something very real and connected with them. At what level that still is, we have no real way of knowing. Doesn't help for pics to show up of Maks with someone else!!! And isn't it funny that we just had that "rampant dating rumors" thing a few days ago!!! So this is real life drama vs. TV drama!! LOL
LOL...yep i just think the truth is usually alot less complicated than we imagine it to be....like maybe they are both completely comfortable with their relationship as it is and are just giving Meryl the time she needs to finish a goal she's had for a long time....but whatever it is it's theirs and maybe once alot of sm looses interest in them due to the rampant dating rumors they'll have more private time alone to decide what they want for their lives

Re: The Key to Life Is......
Okay now, serious question. I don't want to go back right now to when M&M went upstairs to get their scores after the Viennese Waltz, but does anyone remember that Maks smooched Erin on the right cheek and then put Meryl in her usual spot, between him and Erin. A minute or so later when Erin made some remark (maybe something about her not taking all the way to the MBT), Maks piped up and said, "I did just kiss you", and Erin said "on the cheek, let's clarify that" -----what in the heck was that exchange all about?????????????? Oh, and Meryl smiled and went out from under his arm and then came right back.
that was the same night he did the kissing bandit thing after the jive....had he maybe forgotten to kiss her when he was kissing everyone else after the jive??? i don't remember if he kissed her then or not
Yes, he kissed her after the jive, too. She had just made a remark about how giving he was with all the smooches to the judges.
LOL...he was so wound up that night he might not even know why he did it

Re: The Key to Life Is......
FYI
Earlier this evening, Cheryl Davis liked a BWAT video of Maks. You can find this on JMeridith's tumblr, and for all I know someone else may have already posted this info.
And here is a photo of tonight's formal dinner. I think I see Maks to the left when I look at the picture. I don't see Devin, and I see him talking with some other people. There are over 71 photos on the Everything is Maksyl tumblr.

I know...I guess that is the reason...it is strange all of them...you think you have them figured out and POOF it goes right out the window and you are left in a state of confusion...

Re: The Key to Life Is......
Good night all. In the morning I will go across the street to have coffee with my neighbors who moved here from Turkey in 1975. I had told her I would be there yesterday morning, but I forgot! I called to apologize, and she said that that's what her husband told her -- that I probably forgot. I didn't dare tell her what I was really doing on my computer -- they would have thought I was NUTS!

Re: The Key to Life Is......
Luv, You asked how they were making money when they have all these activities. I think when it's in the states, it's just a dinner and an auction. (Not sure, so don't quote me). Anyway, the cost is 50K, but only 37K is deductable. So, the people going actually are paying 13K for all the events. Not sure if the rooms are included or not, but it appears that they are all staying at the same hotel, so probably. Ok, that 13K a person covers only part of the costs of the events and food. They have sponsors who advertise in the programs and who pay for different activities- can be writte off taxes. Also, the people who are having things in their homes are paying for all or part of it and writing it off their taxes. Most of the entertainers are paid all or at least part of their appearance fees.
The problem I have with all of these charity events is that it's a lot of work and the charity only gets a % of the money spent. This particular event is costing a TON of money. Would be interesting to see just how much the charity really gets. I was surprised that it had only raised 87 million total in the past. I'm not sure how many years it's been going on, so if it's just a couple, that's a good amount, but if it's been going on for more than 3-4 years, that's not much.

That is pretty much what I'm hopeful for. I am certain that she really wants to get her degree done--and I believe she and Charlie won't compete anymore cuz he is gonna move on. She may not be quite ready to commit to any relationship until she decompresses from the last year's pressures, etc. Hopefully Maks will be willing to wait and see how she feels, unless, of course, she decides just being friends is all she wants. I just think he is the real loser if he lets her slip away....but what do I know?! LOL All from the crow's nest on this ship!!!
I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship.

thanks for the info Kos!! things like that are why i think things are ok even though they don't look it...why would her mom like a video of some guy if he broke her daughters heart and took another woman on a five day romantic vacation to her daughters dream destination???....i don't think she would have.....
