Hiya Hal,

Can hypotension cause fainting? Seems like that might be the case.
I have cancer.

It does not have me.

I thought about AirCooledNut's post while grocery shopping and got some Himalayan salt in a grinder. It's replaced regular salt in all my cooking now. It really tastes different, much milder than what I'm used to. It seems to enhance and compliment rather than overpower.

You can buy candles and lamps made of the salt. It is said they are natural ionizers. I didn't know you could purchase the salt to grind. Good tip.

I can give up everything that will shorten my life, but then that's what I live for.
I like salt! :blackeye:

If you end up in the Portland area... Small shop but neat and good selection of salt blocks.

As for the tirade on salt...everything in moderation :wink:

Cooking on salt blocks? I had no idea. Learn something new everyday.

No, you attract the deer with salt blocks, pop 'em a good one, then enjoy fresh venison. :geek: :geek: :geek: Then explain to Mr. or Mrs. Ranger why you shot a deer out of season. And Bob reluctantly packs up his camp and gives you a foul look. Shouldn't a done that, I'ma guessin' :bounce:

Hammy, you somehow get placed into every conversation. That way, two years from now when you resurrect a thread out of the blue, you can enjoy references to you :geek:

No holes will be dug. No. Not a good idea. Miss ya Hambone. We'll be jammin' soon!

I even left a Customer Review so read it before asking me questions. Or you can wait and ask my sweetie yourself in Maupin for the Father's Day camping weekend.

Thanks for posting that link Nut, Ive always wanted one of those and did not know where they were first posted on one of the sites. Some places on the road are just way to filthy to use and others too crowded. Me thinks that little tool and some fresh handy/baby wipes whould ease the bladder chatter :geek:

Hiya Toby,

So, I'm scanning down through the reviews to find yours and I read a review from a soldier on duty in Afghanistan. She mentioned that her unit had issued these to female soldiers.

Which made me wonder if the military issue is camouflaged.
I have cancer.

It does not have me.

Ha Ha Mike, I missed that review but would prefer anything but Pink, just not my color.

Don,t know much about military life but wonder if they could be bought at a PX or surplus store. Anyone on here know???
