Heavenly Hash--a thread for the "older" Twilight crowd

[Openhome]

Yeah, I got that too. And I have complained on almost every other thread that neither the epiphany nor the blasphemy line. I really wanted those lines.
The movie did a great job of making Jacob real and making Bella's choice seem all that more impossible. That part I loved about the movie.
Jules, you can have Jacob for your daughter, but I get Seth for mine. Deal?

Deal!

Hi, Ladies!
The movie didn't change my feelings toward Jacob and Edward. I still love them both. However, I still believe that true love made the decision for Bella when she went with her heart and chose Edward. But, it still tears my heart out for Jacob. The movie just amplifies things 100 times.
However...the movie has sent me into orbit for Taylor Lautner. I like him before...I love him now!
I never have been a huge RPatz fan, but I do have a renewed extremely strong like for him.

Una - thanks for the link it really helped.

Cullengirl - The movie just made me appreciate Jacob more. Taylor Lautner did a really great job acting the part. But for me, Edard will always be the same in my head. I will always be Team Edward. But I might just be able to give Jacob chances. Even though I felt very happy for him in Breaking Dawn, but it just made me appreciate his character more.

Hi, Girls!
Happy Saturday to all!
Cleaning house, doing laundry, and going Christmas shopping afterwhile!
It snowed in Alabama last night!
Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Wingtear!

Snow in Alabama?! I used to live in Houston/Galveston, TX. They got snow yesterday. A few years ago we had a full on snow storm in Galveston. We decided that it was "snowing in hell" (because Galveston is sooo hot/mild wintered, and maybe some other things ).

Happy Birthday Wintergear!!
I hope you set some sleep as a gift!
Hi BAC! Haven't heard from you in a while. Are you busy enough yet?
I'm about to need a time warp to get everything done. Or a clone. A clone could be fun.
I think Texas got more snow than we did, but we do have some now. Finally!

By the way THIS is officially when hell froze over:

Thanks!

The B-day was OK, sleep I get, just in very scarce portions at a time unfortunately the feeding don't work as great as I thought it would, so we're giving formula as well, and that's not really to my liking. Now we're trying something they recommended, but it just means we give more formula and I really don't feel comfortable with it.

Today is our Independence Day here in Finland. As a kid I loved it, it always meant I could stay at home playing with my new toys the day after my birthday Funny how the priorities change...

Openhome, officially hell froze over a few years back, when Lordi (and with them Finland) won the "European Song Contest" in 2006. I'll quote (and translate) a popular piece of text that's been circulating for many, many years prior to the millennium:

Snow is all gone!!!! About to get ready for church this morning, but wanted to drop my hashers a howdy first! Didn't make it to New Moon yesterday. The withdrawals are definitely setting in! I might check on the matinee today. But, I still have so much shopping to do! ARG!!!

Wingtear, I love that list, it is hysterical!

After living in Texas for almost 10 years I haven't been in terribly cold weather. I am having to readjust to cold and snow now that I am in Missouri. However, it is nothing compared to the 8 years I lived in Utah. How did I become such a wimp in the cold?!!!
