Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

People should go look at pictures of animals. Does a body (and a mind) good.

I'm an Australian in serious need of some impulse control, and I approve this message.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My doctor told me to eat more salt. I'm trying to eat potato chips.

This is DISGUSTING. I don't know how you do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I heard recently where most prepared food has was more salt than potato chips -- it's all on the outside of the chips, but prepared food has it throughout. How do you feel about canned soup?

ita, could you swallow salt tablets?

How do you feel about cold cuts or hot dogs, ita? They're pretty high in sodium.

Also, anything with soy sauce.

It's disgusting and salty.

I think the chips have the double disadvantage of fat and salt. Blech.

I may go with that sara--concentrate the torment.

Sadly, my ER escort has been ragging on me for over a year to eat more salt for my health, and I've brushed him off. I'm from a hypertensive family and my mother was in hypertension research. It goes against my nurture, even if my standard BP is 100/60. I recently found out that 90/60 was the bottom threshold for "safe" in the ER.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gatorade is salty.

I'd think you might be able to find them at an REI or something- based strictly off the fact that I know about them from adventure/climbing true stories. For all I know, CVS has them.

Or there is always [link] (sorry!)

Most canned soups taste too salty to me, and I'm kinda a salt fiend.
