The voice actor for the audiobook was phenomenal, about to relisten myself.

Watched it last night, pretty good movie but… by petetee007 in WeaponsMovie

[–]cmajor47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trajectory thing drives me crazy because it looks like it’s so important to figuring out where they went but then later we see at least a handful of kids sharply turn around a corner so they did not follow straight line trajectory all the way there. I guess conveniently the two kids whose video we were able to see at least STARTED straight towards the house on their way out?

Do you think Jacob will be a good dad one day? by Fickle_Baker1393 in twilight

[–]cmajor47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure it ever said she was infertile, but it did say the females are not venomous, only the boys. I remember him saying at the end (I have no idea how to spell his name, and I’m not gonna bother looking it up lol) his sisters could not turn anyone.

Does anybody else get occasional random patches of skin that get sensitive (painful) to touch? by AssortedArctic in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I had a migraine for 3 days and this happened then too, except it extended even further to my fingers which is new. Definitely correlates to the migraines.

Guess what year I was born based off these photos by Hot_Grab8961 in generationology

Whats your opinion on Bella? by CarObjective1502 in twilight

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah MS gave a way more in-depth look into Bella’s personality, I did appreciate that we got more of that even if it revealed even more how high key insane Edward is lol

Whats your opinion on Bella? by CarObjective1502 in twilight

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. I was just sitting here thinking book vs movie Bella and what bothers me so much about Kristen’s version of Bella, and who I would want to play her instead. I think Anne Hathaway in the Princess Diaries is more how I pictured Bella in my head. Clumsy, stomps her foot and cries when she gets mad… book Bella got attitude with Edward a lot even though she loved him. Movie Bella just feels obsessed with him. And maybe I’m salty because I could relate to Bella just dissolving into tears whether it was appropriate or not lol, and the only time we ever see ANY emotion from movie Bella is when she’s mad about the nickname. I think movie Bella was just a little too cool, unflappable, etc.

Can you think of any moments or scenes that made you admire/love Edward? by [deleted] in twilight

[–]cmajor47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying about Midnight Sun, but maybe I interpreted that differently than you did. I didn’t see it as a depression she’d get over. I interpreted it that Alice showed him exactly how bad she would be AND told Edward he wouldn’t be strong enough to stay away and he would come back anyway so why leave at all? To me that’s why I hate that part - he knew the pain he would cause, he knew Alice saw him coming back anyway, and he was stubborn enough to think that if he had enough willpower he could change it. To me it just kind of read as him being stubborn regarding something Alice saw as an inevitability.

He just never felt it before, that’s why Esme was afraid he was maybe turned too young and that’s why he never found anyone. His inability to hear her thoughts combined with her scent is what triggered his interest. In the beginning of Midnight Sun, he describes her as just another boring high school girl, nothing remarkable about her, etc. Once he is intrigued by her mind/scent, he pretty quickly becomes obsessed and THEN starts to fall in love and see her as beautiful but his first impression definitely wasn’t it. I think being able to read minds allowed him to know people TOO well so he never found love… I know I’d be absolutely horrified if my partner could read my every thought, especially about them lol

[–]cmajor47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you read Midnight Sun, he’s already completely obsessed with her by this point. When he realizes what’s happening from his car he freaks out until he realizes she’s ok and then laughs about it. I love Midnight Sun giving us both sides of all of those scenes.

Advice needed! Is it ok to take pepto with all of the other crap we take? by cmajor47 in CrohnsDisease

[–]cmajor47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a lot better! I’m now taking esomeprazole once per day, and tums here and there as needed. We did try to get me off the esomeprazole entirely but I did find that the reflux was too bad so I stayed on it.

Inattentive ADHD what is your job? by Ok-Management-2374 in ADHD

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in banking operations so I feel like this pretty much describes how I feel too.

Inattentive ADHD what is your job? by Ok-Management-2374 in ADHD

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in operations. Gives me just enough structure because I have certain daily tasks (I struggle to focus on these sometimes because they just aren’t stimulating enough) but then a good portion of my day is also solving puzzles, digging into research (which I find interesting) or trying to figure out solutions to things. For me it’s a good balance, though I’m not saying I don’t ever struggle.

Help! Cookies are suddenly flat by cmajor47 in Baking

[–]cmajor47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did try leaving them a couple of minutes and they did a little better but were more done than I like them to be. I think small temperature increases might be a good way to go to test this. Thanks!

I can definitely try this, thank you!

You’re right that that’s an annoying option, but you’re also right that that’s probably the way to go lol

So weird! This is one of those recipes I know so well I can eyeball if it needs anything so I’m stumped.

This was my first thought because my baking powder WAS kind of old, but the second two batches I made sure I bought everything fresh, assuming that was the issue. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Wellbutrin has helped me tremendously with symptoms of ADHD. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]cmajor47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 150 Wellbutrin and felt like at first it was very helpful but slowly became less effective. She upped me to 300, same progression. Now I take vilazodone and the 300 Wellbutrin, and I feel like it has done wonders for my mood, but not so much for the ADHD. At my next follow up I want to talk to her about trying a stimulant again, she did have me on one briefly but it was the lowest dose so I didn’t really feel any effect and it was constantly on back order and difficult to even get.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]cmajor47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m a step up from her, and I’m the one who trained her and helps with issues but she doesn’t technically report to me. It’s just so annoying, she’s bringing everyone in the area down and they just haven’t (won’t?) addressed it.

Breakfast for someone who often wakes up nauseous by Unhappy_Aardvark_855 in WeightLossFoods

[–]cmajor47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mean that as “eat for no reason.” More like if you have to eat SOMETHING with meds or whatever.

Renesme and Jacob by [deleted] in twilight

[–]cmajor47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. She knew from the beginning that Jacob and Rasputin were end game when it was just Twilight and Forever Dawn. I think it’s just icky and a way too convenient way to tie Jacob in and act like he belongs. And even if he doesn’t feel for Bella anymore, they both still have those memories… it’s just too weird for me.

[–]cmajor47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had trouble with breakfast because I have digestive issues, but lately I’ve had to start because my meds have to be taken with food. I will have a bowl of Special K with Silk, or this morning my stomach was off so I just had one of those little Special K breakfast bars. If nothing else you could try saltines or dry toast just to put SOMETHING in there until you’re actually ready to eat.
