Bump!

Lost people, Come out, Come out wherever you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recap is tonight and season opener is tomorrow :D:D

jerseyangel Proficient

So you dusted off the old thread! :D

Personally, I'm looking forward to it--I'll be watching tonight, as I seem to remember last season's finale was a little hard to follow.

Anyone else planning to get "Lost"? :)

<saluting> Present & accounted for!!

(WTH kind of saying IS that anyway?? Is there a category for 'present but unaccounted for' ?)

jmengert Enthusiast

Count me in! I'm watching the season finale again tonight to catch up (and, that was one of the best tv shows, period, I've ever seen!), and I've blocked out tomorrow from 8-10--no one is to call or talk to me then!

Yea for Lost!

Well--about 15 minutes till the show starts (here in the east, anyway)

Enjoy, everyone :D

Green12 Enthusiast

It's just starting here for me, hee hee, I'm so excited :D:D

Watched the recap show tonight. Pure genius, loved the pop-ups. It's been so long we had forgotten some of it. Now I'm really excited about the season premier.

best regards, lm

Green12 Enthusiast

At first I wasn't liking the pop up ticker thing, but as the show went on I appreciated the factoids they were giving, a lot of them I had forgotten.

That really was such a good finale, so sad with Charlie.

Do you think Charlie really dies? And who was in the coffin at the funeral home? Probably answers to questions we won't find out for a while....

I thought Ben was extra creepy at the beginning of the season, but eye patch guy is creepier.

And why is it that anyone new that comes on is weird and suspicious?? :lol: Like the guy they show for tonight's coming attractions, the guy off the "rescue" boat.

SO EXCITED FOR TONIGHT!!!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

I liked the pop ups--at first they were distracting, but evidently there were lots of little things I missed last time, so I'm glad they did it.

I have no clue as to who could be in the casket. I wonder about Charlie--they cut away just fter he "died", so maybe he could still be alive? With this show, dying isn't always permanent :lol:

Looking forward to tonight! :D

I was just watching The View and they had on the actress who plays Juliet, she couldn't give up any details :lol:

But she looked lovely, and they showed a little snippet of a sneak peek from tonights ep, looks good!!!

Hee Hee--I saw that and couldn't make heads nor tails of the clip they showed. I did hear her say she was given 2 pages of things she couldn't talk about :lol:

Oh--did you hear what Whoopie said earlier in the show about

them finding an Oceanic 815 at the bottom of the ocean?

:o She said she heard it was going to open up a whole new mystery.

I put it in a spoiler in case someone didn't want to read it ;)

DingoGirl Enthusiast

:angry:

I DID see what Whoopie said......and now I'm even MORE furious. :lol: As if I already had NO clue what was going on....................... :blink:

I hate when you REALLY just have no idea what things are about. :lol: :lol:

Green12 Enthusiast

*******Warning, potential spoiler below******** (but I really don't think it is :lol: )

I put it in a spoiler in case someone didn't want to read it ;)

Patti, as to the spoiler you posted, what Whoopie said on The View, if I am not mistaken this is already known to the viewing audience.

I think hints to this fact went out in a couple of different eps last season, I remember when somone made some kind of contact to the "outside" and the person on the other end said they had found Oceanic Flight #815 and there were no survivors.

Then on another ocasion someone was talking to somone on a radio about being survivors of the plane carash Oceanic flight 815, or something like that, and the person on the other end said, "no WE are the survivors of Oceanic FLight #815"

:o

So I am thinking some kind of paralell universe scenarios possibly??

And that is what Whoopie was referring to I believe.

jerseyangel Proficient

See, this is why I liked those pop-ups! So many points I had just forgotten--or missed :unsure:

This show confuses the heck out of me, but I keep watching :D

:lol: Patti

I could totally be wrong and getting my facts confused, but I just remember something about another plane, the same plane.....so I am thinking the fact that Whoopie mentioned it they are going to explore this matter in the upcoming eps?

It is so intricately woven, multi-layered, and complex isn't it?!?! You have to be on your toes and alert, which most of the time I am NOT :lol:

tom Contributor

I was sure Charlie drowns in there - hey, Desmond had a vision! - but I don't know why he wouldn't at least TRY to squeeze through the porthole.

So maybe he does just swim away from certain death tonight.

SPOILERS BELOW (for anyone who hasn't seen the first ep yet)

What did everyone think of last night's season opener?

As usual more questions than answers :lol:

A few of my thoughts:

Oceanic 6??? So I guess only 6 come back and Hurley is one, Jack another, Kate another, and the person in the coffin I assume makes 4.

Who is the guy that came to visit Hugo in the mental facility, the one who claimed he was a representative of the airlines? Did you notice he said "they are still alive aren't they?" He was a little creepy. So does this mean the 6 that came back left other back on the island?

Hugo's visions with Jacob's little hut/house scared me! Did you notice there was someone in the rocking chair and then someone appeared in the window, totally freaked me out. Ben had said Locke was a threat since he could hear Jacob, now apperently Hugo will be as well?

And Locke I can't quite figure him out, why he is doing the things he is doing, like blowing up the sub? I know he had said he didn't want anyone to leave because he wants to stay on the island, but killing Naomi seemed different. I think he expressed that he didn't trust Naomi and who she was working for, it's like he knows something or has inside info that the others don't have.

Now with the splitting up of the survivors into two camps, and then taking into consideration what Hurley said at the end, ("I should have gone with you, I shouldn't have trusted Locke"), it looks like things are going to get very interesting!

"Oceanic 6??? So I guess only 6 come back and Hurley is one, Jack another, Kate another, and the person in the coffin I assume makes 4."

Coffin? I missed that somehow. When? Where was that?

"Who is the guy that came to visit Hugo in the mental facility, the one who claimed he was a representative of the airlines? Did you notice he said "they are still alive aren't they?" He was a little creepy. So does this mean the 6 that came back left other back on the island?"

I was thinking they left the others on the island.

I almost wondered if Lock was the one in the chair. He showed up so soon.

jerseyangel Proficient

All good questions/comments, Julie--I was thinking along the same lines. Also, when John came to see Hurley in the mental hospital, he obviously was there to ask him if he was "going to tell"....

I enjoyed the show last night--we were out and only caught the last 1/2 of the recap show--but I watched last season anyway. The next 7 weeks should be a great ride :D

Missy's Mom, the coffin was shown in last season's finale. Remember, in all those present day flashes when Jack was falling apart. He had a death announcement in his pocket and then he showed up at the empty funeral home where the coffin of this mysterious person in his life who died was in the viewing room.

Ohh, maybe it was Locke. He can communicate with Jacob, maybe he has been visiting and making friends.

The next 7 weeks should be a great ride :D

Yes indeed :D

missy'smom Collaborator

Thank You juliem. Now I remember!

Green12 Enthusiast

LOST TONIGHT!!! :D

Be there, or be square :lol:

It looks like they are going to rerun last week's ep first so anyone who missed it can get all caught up!

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
