Poor Olivia :( Glad she's feeling better today.

They told the story of Sun and how she had the affair--we saw some of it last year. Her father caught the two of them together and ordered Jin to kill him. Jin warned him, but didn't kill him--but the guy jumped out the window with the necklace he had offered Sun in his hand. Guess he really loved her...

Sawyer and Kate were made to work in the rockpile all day--Sawyer kissed Kate, and was shocked by the guard for it. The female guard called Sawyer by his real first name--James.

Pointy face introduced himself "properly" to Jack. Said he's lived there all of his life (!) And if Jack cooperates, he will take Jack home.

You saw the end, right--where Sun was on the boat and Colleen and the others came on?

Way Back Machine :lol:

Thanks for the re-cap.

I watched it again last night ... the second show I've seen. So, did all these people end up on this island from the same plane crash? I know, basic question, the other story lines are a bit easier to pick up on.

The folks that are in captivity and the folks on the beach (you haven't seen them yet) and the folks with the boat all crashed on the island. The "others" (the folks who are causing all the comotion) we don't know an awful lot about. It appears that they have been on the island a long time and may have been part of some strange experiments (I warn you - this is a slippery slope...if you Google the DHARMA initiative you will be sucked into a vortex from which there is no return :huh: ) This show is so great because of all the mythology they have built in and the method of presenting the story in bits and pieces of flashbacks...I could go on all day... :P

The people who came out of the houses last week were not on the plane--they're referred to as "the others" and we're just now learning more about them.

The prisoners, people on the boat last night and the others back at the camp were all in the same plane crash.

There are still others on the island who probably crashed there years ago--that's the thing with this show--the more questions they answer, the more we still don't really know :blink:

We're lucky that we have Tivo--more than once, we have had to go back and watch something again--there are lots of little clues and things that are easily missed.

:lol: Patti

The female guard called Sawyer by his real first name--James.

Last night was the first time, that I noticed, that anybody actually acknowledged the "others" know all this stuff about them, that nobody else knows. When Kate said, why did she call you James.

Wouldn't they be discussing daily how creepy it is that they know all these inside facts :lol:

The interesting thing about this was at the end of the show when they were in the cages discussing this -- Sawyer and Kate. Sawyer seemed to kiss her and get in trouble to see how everyone reacted and how they fought. He took note of it all. It seemed to be a strategic move.

I loved the scene where the weird guy told the prisoner that the Red Soxs won the World Series. So funny.

I know--like last week when Sawyer and Kate were put in cages opposite each other--why didn't they ask questions or talk about the whole ordeal? It seemed odd.

Also, last week Juliet had that folder that she said was "Jack's life".

Remember when Kate and the creepy French lady and, I can't recall who the third person was, Claire I think, went to find that other station?? They didn't come back to the group and say, hey guess what we found? They don't talk to each other to put all the clues together :lol:

Drives me mad!

Julie--You're right about the kiss. The way he looked at her after the guard spoke to her crudely--it was so expressive. You could see his face change.

The other thing that bothers me, other than them not comparing notes, is that they will still go off into the jungle alone. I would go nowhere alone on that island :D

I think they call it "suspension of disbelief"... you need a healthy dose for this show or you'll throw something thru the TV

I loved the episode last night!

The airport scene was really good (Hurley and Pointy Face were both employees of the airline--AND remember, Hurley was the one who had to bring Jack, Sawyer and Kate to the others) :o

Also Desmond's back--and naked :rolleyes:

Didn't see 'Eddie was a cop' coming, though :blink:

Richard--come out of your sweatlodge and discuss! :lol:

It's pretty addicting! If you ever have the time, I'd suggest getting the first 2 seasons on DVD--a lot of the storylines are long-running. It would answer some questions for you, but not many :lol: --they tend to keep piling on the mystery! :blink:

Julie,

No, he didn't--he put his gun down, and Eddie ran off through the woods. I'm expecting he'll show up soon on the island :D

I wanna know what's in the wacky paste!

Charlie-Locke banter was funny (shoe's on the other foot :P )

The whole search for Eko was kind of pointless, Look at the hole were the hatch was - must have imploded...oh look here's Hurley...Oh the bear cave, better get out my hair spray (Charlie's "I hate to be the one to bring this up..." LMAO!)...What kind of polar bear drags it's lunch around still alive? (I know one that lives on a tropical island and is sick of fish biscuits!)

Hurley and Desmond scene was hilarious ("Ok DUDE I'm not alone!")

Where do I know the cop from?

Charlie needs to get his hair cut.

Boone/airport scene was great/funny.

Is the guy- Mike i think, the same guy that plays Zeke/Tom? He looked familiar

Next week looks like another good one!

I thought the same thing, Mike (?) definitely looked familiar, like we have seen him before.

Not sure about the torture for next week :blink:

I'm not worried, they always build it up in the promos and it never seems to be the same story once the epi. airs. Sawyer is probably getting his nails done. Kate is crying over 3 days of fish biscuits. "Do you Love HIM?" probably some sick Other's device to break them down...Barry Manilow "Do you Love HIM?"...No, well then no fish biscuits for you. :)

Julie--I agree about the torture for next week. Hope they were just hyping it up for the preview and there won't be too much of it.

Richard--The part with Hurley and Desmond: Hurley was acting like a GIRL when he saw Desmond--he was so embarassed! :lol:

Hairspray line--too funny.

Charley's hair--it looks like his is the only hair that grew during the time there.

I also thought Boone looked better--did he lose weight or something? He used to have a pasty/red thing going on on his face.

Had the cop been on before?--I couldn't tell.

I didn't think it was possible, but Boone got prettier after he died!

I don't know if the cops has been on before. I know I have seen him somewhere before (NOT on this show, but somewhere)...I just can't place him

I forgot about Desmond running naked through the forrest, er, what do you call that on an island? The bush? With his hair blowing in the wind. That was kinda funny.

And, ooh, he can see the future :blink: Creepy.

I thought Boone looked thinner because of his longer hair do?

um, yeah, I"ve tried and tried (but not consistently), and I am utterly confounded.....Richard says I have to pop popcorn and rent all the seasons on DVD - makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it.... :blink:

Yes, I think I saw this part, did he ask to TALK TO THE ISLAND??? holy Lord. that is the moment I think I broke up with the show for good. :lol:

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
