Salt
Gina:
Everything in moderation, of course. I prefer sea salt, personally, but that's me. I heard table salt isn't all that good for you, but whatever you prefer. I think it is better to be grateful for what God places before you, and that a thankful spirit with little does a body more good than an unthankful one with lots of good food.
Food without salt becomes insipid (dull, boring, tasteless, useless etc.) was quote but I was thinking of it in terms of us being the salt of the earth. Ray was perty salty. Jesus was perty salty. Paul was perty salty. The others were too. :-)
Salt is also good preservative. It's interesting that there is so much of it in the sea and the oceans, though, you know? I buy reverse osmosis water because California puts fluoride in their municipal water supplies. And RO takes out fluoride. Anyway, I add sea salt to my water because RO takes out not just fluoride by every other mineral you can think of.
Old people in New York City were dying in the heatwaves one year as I recall because they were on all kinds of high BP medications and because of that (High BP meds are diuretics) they didn't have enough water in their bodies to produce sweat to cool and regulate their body temperatures, and so they overheated and died. But again, everything in moderation. As Ray said, salt is sprinkled on food not caked on it, much like it is in the earth -- there a salt mine here and there but the earth itself isn't doused in salt.
Salt also puts out fires. Sodium chloride (salt) is one of the principle extinguishing ingredients in fire extinguishers. I just learned that. And I just learned that sodium is highly reactive.

Hi Gina,
I think that we will find that most household dry chem. extinguishers contain Sodium Bicarbonate or Potassium Bicarbonate or Carbon dioxide gas.
common salt or Sodium Chloride compound is reserved for commercial applications based on class D combustible metal fires.
Correct; Sodium metal alone is highly reactive, household salt is not. 8) ::) ;D

Hi Gina,
Good to see your back Gina, I agree about the sea salt thing, its all I use. ;)
God bless. :)
Gina:
Well, I don't know about that, Bob -- try putting some table salt up your nose or in your eyes or on a wound and see if you don't jump through your skin. :-)
Gina:
Thanks, Rick! Yeah, I love sea salt. I use this celtic stuff that really wakes up the flavor of my food and the funny thing is, I use less of it than I would table salt. :)
