Bringing Lost discussion up to top of board (major spoiler alert)

Okay, all you "Lost" fanatics, what are your theories now, and how have they changed? Who or what is Jacob? How did the "original inhabitants" of the island get there? They are mostly Caucasians with American accents, with a few exceptions. They don't look like the usual types of people who are native inhabitants of Polynesian islands - if, indeed, that is where the island is.

Why were Jack and Juliet keeping secrets from the rest of the group? If they had been honest and up front from the beginning about Juliet, maybe they could have all figured out a way to foil Ben's plans without bloodshed.

And will the island heal Locke? Obviously he is of major importance - I don't think Ben heard Jacob at all, and he was jealous and afraid when he realized Locke heard him. That's why he shot him. Ben is turning out to be an even bigger weasel than before.

And what exactly was the Dharma Initiative studying? Does Ben really know? After all, he was only a "work man" like his father.

For every answer, there are a dozen new questions - at least!

I don't think Locke will die. The island will heal him. That whole "Jacob" thing was weird. I don't know quite what to make of that.

And I don't know what kind of game Jack is playing at, hiding things from his own people and taking Juliet's side. Did he feel so betrayed by seeing Kate and Sawyer together that he turned against all of them? He used to be the glue that held everything together. Now it all seems to be falling apart.

I had been enjoying most of the new episodes, but I don't like it when formerly trustworthy people seem to turn on others. That's a bit too "Survivor"-ish to me (I don't watch "Survivor" and from the little bit I know about it, I really really don't like it).

I guess we'll just have to see....

i cannot figure out  how in the world to get back the alert in yahoo toolbar that lets me know when i have new mail???!!!  would you please help me?  many thanks.

George and Izzy were never pronounced dead so by next season they could be saved.  They were only half way to heaven.  What a cliff hanger.

I totally agree, and I signed the petition. I wish they would pass a similar bill about childbirth. Some women can only stay in the hospital 24 hours after their child is born (or it may be 24 hours total, I'm not sure). Or at least that's all their insurance will pay for, if it is a healthy birth with no complications.

I am currently fighting with my HMO about a medication that I desperately need. At the moment I am buying it through a "Canadian pharmacy" (based in New York state) and it is sent to me from Mumbai, India. In the U.S., the medication costs $10.00 a pill!!!  Through this pharmacy, I get it for $1.77 a pill.  But it is still more than twice what my normal co-pay would be if the $#@%#$ HMO would cover it.

So any kind of insurance reform bills that ANYONE knows about, PLEASE pass the info along. Thanks!

before it gets * pruned *

I have a dumb question - - - - what makes a NY bagel so great??? I would think it is just bread dough formed in a circle....like I get at Albertson's or Safeway or Ralph's.

In my family some of us are cooks and some aren't.  So it depends on who brings what.  If it's easier for the person to buy a pie than make it, that's fine.  If I'm bringing dessert, I usually make the pies.  I have a sister who does not cook, so she always buys them.  BUT she buys really good ones from local pie shop.  For the first time, this year my 12 yo niece has been put in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving, with my SIL overseeing it.  She's learning to cook and bake and even called me to ask for one of my dessert recipes that she really likes.  I'm very pleased she's trying and don't really care what she makes, it's the thought. 

P.S.  I do have a pumpkin pie stashed here at the house for later tomorrow night though! 

from below. I was unable to answer until today.

Those are good suggestions, but it can't be CO2 as it happens when he's standing in his garage too. He doesn't get a headache, just the eye problem.  He had his INR check/doctor appointment yesterday and told him about it again.

Finally, an answer....sort of! Can't be low blood pressure because of the Toprol. Can't be blood too thick because he's on Coumadin. If DH wants, doc will make an appointment for the specialist (supposedly one of the best in the country) for a look-see and maybe some sort of laser treatment. It has to do with fluid build-up behind the eye that puts pressure on the nerves or something like that.  It's harmless, so he says.

I don't like it and wish he would get it checked out, but we're still waiting for his first check of the year. So, he's going to hold off.

I am sorry, I got myself out of town for the weekend to get away. I am still at a loss. I have tried contacting my grandparents numerous times to no avail. I emailed my sister, and she talked to my grandmother who said she has simply "missed my calls." Thank you all for letting me vent Friday and giving me opinions. I will not stoop to their level. Also, to the poster who asked why I think the baby's name had to do with it, it is because she kept saying, "Figure it out, Daddy's girl" and because when I asked if that was it, she said, "What baby, did I say something about a baby" and "aren't you a little Einstein."

Thanks again all!
