Pass the salt shaker

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'm wondering if anyone shares my irritation that restaurants have removed the salt shakers from the tables? Is someone secretly monitoring my micronutrients? Do they think I’m too immature to be trusted with a salt shaker?

Honestly. I want to know.

I’ve even asked some of my dining partners if they find it as irritating as I do. Some say no. But when I ask the waitstaff for a salt shaker and it eventually appears on the table, nearly everyone sitting with me reaches for it.

I even had a patron sitting at another table ask me if they could borrow our salt shaker. Clearly, some people want more salt than the restaurant culture thinks we should. Are we being “salt-shamed”?

Hi Reader, The rockin' chair Sitting in its massive cradle of arms, back, and seat, I wondered out loud, “Why does it keep rocking? “ “Because you’re little.” Like that was an answer. I could curl up in the seat of my grandmother’s rocker and once I got it moving it would keep it up for a surprisingly long time… long time in kid-time. Only a grown-up could move this massive wooden piece of furniture to wherever it was needed. There it seemed to just wait quietly and patiently. And, like a...

Let's breathe deeply - reset stress

Shallow breathing is good if you are stalking an animal to bring home for dinner or if you need to give a quick explanation when a boss asks you about a project. But if practiced habitually, small and restricted chest movements can cause many unwanted results and symptoms in your body, such as awkward posture, painful structures, and poorly functioning organs. Although subtle, the relentless clenching of being ready for something requires the sympathetic nervous system to be “on” and results...
