I learned I had a little endo when those parts were taken out for other reasons almost 19 years ago.

I saw a Medical Mystery about a woman who suffered for years from endo, but since it didn't present with the usual symptoms they could never diagnose it. When things got so bad they did exploratory surgery the tissue was growing everywhere throughout her body...heart, lungs and I believe they said even the brain. It was horrible, but they managed to save her life.

a cyst is rarely painful until it bursts. i had tons of them; many times not realizing it at all until ultrasound or until they burst.
you can have cysts and not endometriosis and have endometriosis without cysts.

Her cyst burst? YOUCH!!! I had one burst while I was at work and that was the first I knew I had it. They didn't do surgery though. They let my body absorb it. Never had endometriosis.

Dahli, I am now officially grateful that I still have my appendix.

soooo, my thoughts on the show. If Julianne is gone more than a week, I'll hate that. I think she's just too adorable. So is her brother.

Cloris was both painful to watch and mildly entertaining at the same time.

I was an AMC fan from its inception until I had a little one at home and stopped watching daytime television. I think that Susan Lucci is a very nice person but unfortunately, this maybe wasn't the program for her.

Sadly, I do not enjoy Lacey at all. I didn't like her on SYTYCD and it's not better on this show. I could say why I don't like her on either program but that would be pretty unkind so we'll just leave it alone.

I think that Brooke has done very well. I'm not completely up to date so I hope she is not amongst the walking wounded. Yes, I realize that not everyone is a fan of the straight ball room dances but I loved her slow waltz early on. Uh, that was Brooke and Derek, right? It was like a dream.

I have liked Cheryl quite a bit every season she's been on but I don't think she'll win this year. My $$ are on Julianne/Cody or Derek/Brooke. Probably Derek/Brooke.

Not having any idea how they cast this show with regard to the "stars", my feeling is that casting Cloris was a gimmick just like casting the talking half of Penn & Teller and a few others who escape me right now. I'm not at all a fan of gimmicks.

Speaking of, that group number this week was a hot mess that nearly burned my eyes out. Group numbers perhaps need to be saved for the professionals.

I don't care for Lacey at all. IMO, she's full of herself and grabs as much air time as she can. I can't think of any reason she needed to let the world know she has the same condition as Julianne.

I don't like Lacey either. She is dance hog! She really aggravated me when she told Lance something like" I am trying to make you shine or I am trying to make it about you." I don't recall exactly what she said but it came across as really condesending. There is just something about her i don't like.

Did anyone see Cloris on The View? I believe it was on The view (and yet it could've been any of another of interviews) that she explained she wanted to do Dancing with Stars - but was denied because she was too old, then she got her agent (her son) to contact DWTS powers - and they had a nice interview, but first she made them all say a curse word ((I have no idea, but it was part of the story telling - one could not say sh** word - which Cloris found hysterical but wouldnt let it go till she said it - then she was dismissed to a plethora of doctors that gave her extensive exams to clear her for the show - and of course she was finally accepted -

and I do believe she was too good for the show - I think we are missing the "variety show" aspect on tv - DWTS people take too seriously - just like when Sunjaya made it thru on American Idol - America gets a vote - and I loved having the comic relief - I believe that Cloris played it up - but I do have some really wacky aunts too -

I couldn't stand Sanjaya and I couldn't stand Cloris. I thought Cloris was funny in an embarrassing dottering old auntie way but that's not why I watch DWTS...I watch it to be amazed by how well people who have little or no dance experience becoming amazingly good at it.

Just FYI, I checked my TIVO schedule and the results show will be on at Wednesday at 7:00 CST.

But I realize that's only why I watch it so I guess different people have differing opinions and that's all good!

I agree, Roxip. Anyone who going in has virtually no interest in dance or willingness to really try or wants to self-promote other talents (thinking particularly of Master P and Cloris) should not be a DWTS "star".

And my memory might be a bit hazy, but didn't AI not put thru another Sanjaya type last season? Didn't they "learn their lesson" about that?

DWTS is not a variety show. It's a show about dancing. It's not a comedy show. It's not a show about Cloris and her antics. It's a show about dancing. If Cloris needs attention that badly, she could've gone on SNL and done a skit about DWTS.

And I thought Cloris was funny in "an embarrassing dottering old auntie way" the first time, and possibly the second time. But by the time she started hogging the camera when the kids were competing, I was totally over the dottering old auntie.

Master P wasn't just on there to self promote other talents. He took over for his son at the last moment because of an injury.

I think there's a place for Cloris sort of characters in DWTS, and it helps vary the season a bit. Early on we get to see characters and have a little bit of a laugh with them, then mid-season things get serious and we watch a proper dancing competition.

The problem comes when some of the characters outstay their welcome. It's rare when an expected top four or six contestant gets kicked out early by a character, usually the public know when to draw the line.

Cloris over did it -- time-wise and antics-wise.

If they had only watched Susan's legs, she couldn't have gotten higher than a 555. Rewatch it later only looking at her legs and not her upper.

I agree about Len. Actually, Michael Flatley was refreshing last week. I liked having someone who had never seen them perform before.

Naja, why is the honeymoon over for Lance and Lacey?

I can't believe Susan got 8-8-8. Better scores than Warren and Cody? No way!
