Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point to Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

- Goodness, with no questions in the News section, I feel like I need to ask one to fill the space. Which one would you want to take to dinner (provided they promised they wouldn't eat you or curse you): 18-year-old Edward or 18-year-old Harry Potter?
- Forums: If you are not a member of the forums, you will not have access to the LFCA on days when we are utilizing an open thread in the forums instead of posting on this site. Any blog reader or writer can become a member of the forums by clicking here and registering. On days when we don't have the LFCA, it also follows that I'll be slow on approving new members (that whole lack of Internet access thing) so please be patient.

Oh, Harry, definitely Harry.
(Now if you had asked about Jacob instead of Edward, my answer would be different.)
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to have dinner with an 18 year old at all, but I will have to reserve judgement until I read Twilight.
Harry Potter. Edward is creepy. Although like areyoukiddingme said, I probably wouldn't want to have dinner with an 18 year old either.
Harry. Then, now and always. Does this mean I'm a cougar?
Definitely Harry. It'd be weird having dinner with Edward since you'd be the only one eating. Edward is not the best conversationalist either and will know what you want to say before you say it.
Seems like I gave way too much thought to that question - I am such a geek.
Ohh Im so torn.
Since I just finished Eclipse, Im going to have to say Edward...
And wow, Im the only one for Edward so far--and technically, he wouldnt be 18 since, ya know, he's been around since the early 1900's =) Makes me feel a little more justified...
can I chose Snape instead? Or Bella's father?
(am I the only one that has a book crush on Bella's mellow dad??)
Cali, you are not the only one who has a book crush on Bella's dad! I'll take quiet and sane over immortal, stalker-ish and obsessive any day. Thank you!!
Harry. Hands down. The conversation would be much more interesting and far less likely to make me choke due to it being ridiculous and contrived.
Absosmurfly Harry! No question...
:)
I try to avoid having dinner with 18-year-old boys.
But, since I haven't read or seen Twilight, I'll go with Harry.
I'd have to go with Harry too. But not in a creepy, ten years older than him type of way.
Harry, no matter the age.
(Now a female version of Edward and a bit older...that I would have to think about.)
I think I'd rather have a big dinner party with Harry & Ginny and Alice & Jasper. :)
