What is sodium?

[MarkFlC5]

A poor analogy? I'll write this big and slow for you....

IT WAS A JOKE!!!

Are you at all familiar with the concept? You're obviously a bright guy. Is there a sense of humor incorporated in all that acumen. . . . . . . "dude"?

Levity is a key ingredient around here "dude". Brush up on it. If you don't, the cool guys won't like you.

Oh, I love this reply. lol! You've got to me kidding me!
As you proceed to bury yourself deeper with such profound advice that would have me liked by "COOL GUYS", do you really think I'm concerend about "COOL GUYS" (whatever your definition of a "Cool Guy" is) liking me or disliking me? Expressing an opinion without the slightest bit of concern for scrutiny or ridicule is what I'm all about my friend.

As far as the main issue at hand, I saw no indication of that particular posts's advice on "sodium moderation" serving as a joke or else I wouldn't have responded in that manner.

The fact that you didn't see the humor in blood's initial comment, plus the fact that you couldn't tell i was kidding about the "cool guy" thing only confirms what I've been saying. You wouldn't know humor if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face and started to wiggle.

Can you even tell when you're being baited?

Dude, sodium is an overhyped issue IMO (to a certain extent) as is cholesterol . everyone has a phobia of cholesterol. But if you do not feed your body with cholesterol, your body will produce it on its own. And with sodium, you cannot neglect it. For example, if you use Lasix, your potassium and sodium levels will seriously drop and cause an imbalance. While it is in fact hard to go low on sodium, it is even easier to go low on potassium and sodium levels when you are depleting water in your system.

I know the average american eats a bucketload of salt. But that is an extreme - it's on the edge of the stick - something we are not looking at. Sodium in moderation is NEEDED. Anything at an excess can kill you. I think that is pretty obvious.

It was an issue of inapproriate comparisons - it had nothing to do with humor. You are the only one who perceives it or is pretending to perceive it as a humor.

To prove my point, there were a couple of other responses to my reply on the matter (MS for one) who although disagreed with my response to BLOOD's reply, made no suggestion to humor. In fact, even BLOOD's latest response emphasized "moderation," saying nothing about humor.

So now you try to compare your intentions of humor (COOL GUY), to an issue which had no intentions of humor (BLOODS reply) in order to play a "Lets Make him feel like he was baited" psychology on me. Sorry, that doesn't work. Nice try though.

Of course I expect one or 2 others to start piling on any minute now with this Humor Notion but it would be too late for that because the cat got out of this bag a long time ago.

and like ms said - it comes down to balance.

BUT BY ALL MEANS, DON'T EAT YOUR MC FRIES EVERYDAY, THAT'S A SURE WAY TO GET HIGH BP AND BE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM QUICK.

OK, fair enough. I will leave it up to you to decide what is and is not appropriate on this board.

When will I learn not to argue with a tightass.

Look, maybe I took his response more seriously than I should have (I'm an anti-drug extremist, what can I say?). I just thought the comparison was too far out there.

Hey man, that's fine. I don't even necessarily dissagree with you. I just thought Blood's comment was funny, whether he intended it to be or not. Then you kinda ripped him a new one. I thought it was overkill so I went after you. It happens a lot here. No big deal dude ().

Its cool.

HEH, just to clarify, my intention was in fact to make an analogy with 2 very different things. sodium and marijuana. if you find it funny fine, but i wouldn't get all hyped about it !

anyway, the health issue maybe is only present at the life extension board. the rest either want to bulk and get shredded like MS said. It's very true. And whether you like it or not, marijuana is a big part of the board and the world. You may not like it, but you have to acknowledge it.
