Being relatively new to the site - how do I quote a previous message and have it show up in those tidy little windows instead of in the reply message like it is here?
Bluehair, I am quoting Tweety from another site who taught me how to multiquote:
"... to multi-quote, hit the quote button (looks like quotation marks) on each post that you want to quote. You have to then hit the post reply button (which is at the top and bottom of the page). You can't quick reply and multi-quote I believe." (and he's right, I did try that)
The tomato soup BOWL for example is 2 servings, each serving has 790 mg sodium so a whole bowl (which is about a good serving for ME!) has 1580 mg. Now it also says it would be 40-80 % of sodium; not sure what that means ... ANYWAY - - so how is our blood pressure?? Mine is very high :*(
Oh, the "Soup on hand" is one serving's worth, but it has 890 mg in that one serving ... how's your BP?
Yes ... I know ...
I do like fruit packed in juice, I get the larger cans, to eat with my oatmeal, I mix in some skim ricotta cheese for protein - not bad ... (sounds weird but it is like dessert)...

zoe i could never hate you
unless you weighed less than me !!!!!!!
i'm ok with that na content, good bp, and don't get salt anywhere else
i even buy unsalted marg, can't stand the salty one
fruit, oatmeal, ricotta, not bad sounding
I THOUGHT I was ok with the BP, usually was 110 over 70. Then started getting migraines as part of PMS about 5 yrs ago - and I would go 200/110 sometimes with them!
I haven't had migraines for about a year now - but the BP stays around 170/80's sometimes - so I have to be careful with the salt. I'm sure the wt is partly responsible and also I need some exercise.
As to weighing less than you, welll, I am 4'11 and about 50 lb overwt, that's all I'm gonna tell you (at the risk of being hated...) LOL
I know ...
