Good morning, 0mg. 
WELL - Wake Up and make sure "You" at least popin every few days to let "Voltville" know Ya' still alive (not everyone belongs to FB to see 'You" are posting there) . . . Just Sayin' . . .
We'll be in the upper 80s Lizzie. We consider that a cold front.
Don't mean to contradict "You", however down here in the South - NOT quite a cold front - just a little cooler and more like Winter . . .
That's a GOOD thing and I'm sure everyone who knows Ya' appreciates that too . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Life can keep us so busy sometimes I wonder when do we get to rest. Everyone always asks me - Aren't you retired? Nope - not as long as I am alive and married that is - the honey doooo list is more of a challenge than my job ever was...
AND - That "Honey Do" list keeps Ya' even busier when "You" are also the "Honey" doing . . .
In "My" Professional Opinion - NOT Really Gonna' Help Ya' . . .
With all Ya' do - "You" Actually Need One-On-One Assistance . . .
an old Murray riding mower to Terry for a project. She's got her work cut out for her with that old beast.
I will assume (No - Not you "awsum") - That Pun Was Intended . . .
There's some really awful stuff at the top of the list of foods that have the most potassium. Just sayin'.
Some really good things too, that is if "You" like . . . Sweet Potatoes (and so much better then White); Squash (Summer/Winter); Broccoli; Spinach/Kale/Swiss Chard/Collard Greens (Can eat Cold in Salads/Hot as a main/side dish BTW: Nothing wrong with Beet Greens and served cold along with the beets as a salad . . .So "YUM"); Tomato Sauces/Gravy; Beans (especially Split Peas - Split Pea Soup w/Ham . . . "My" Favorite Soup - "YUM"
); "Meaty" Fish (Halibut/Salmon/Trout/Tune {even canned)/Seafood (Clams Linguini or New England Clam Chowder), and there is always Orange/Carrot juice . . . Besides the fact that there is high concentrations of Potassium in both Pork and Chicken too . . . AND - As for any "Banana Bread" Ya' can also add raisins (high in potassium) and chopped nuts Ya' do like (BTW: Which anyone who makes some can send "Me" - really like "Me" some banana bread ) . . .Just Sayin' . . .
My thermometer says 90 right now, up from 62 this morning at dawn. Getting a "tad" warm working out there.

Actually, one of the few things that I absolutely can't get past the gag reflex is sweet potatoes. I've never considered myself a picky eater, but there must be something about potassium that adds so many of those items to my Do Not Like list. In the list that you mentioned, I only like the spinach, meats and orange juice. Beans are okay, but I tend to avoid them because they are a starch. Mostly, I live on fruits, raw vegetables, and meat. Oh - and one yogurt in the morning. No breads or other starches if I can avoid them. The only nuts that I like are almonds and cashews.
Your post was a masterpiece of multiquotes, Uncle.
Made me laugh - yes, I do need one on one help

Maybe take it in a pill, while continuing to increase those you do like. Grapes and raisins are good.
Back to the Food Channel.
Hey Rave, funny I like my bananas a little greener, too, and I never could eat sweet potatoes either. Then I found mashed sweet potato with Vermont (the real stuff) maple syrup. Dice the potato into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes, steam for 20 minutes, mash with a hand masher, blend in the maple syrup and taste to suit. If you want them "creamier" add a little butter. To really make them "to die for", turn them out into an oven safe dish, sprinkle liberally with almonds and brown sugar and put them under the broiler until there's a slightly crisp top.
Yeah, the calorie count is murder, but so is the enjoyment!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Ok not fair!!!! Y'all got me salivating over here. Now I am craving sweet potatoes and I not going to be able to get any for a couple of weeks. 
I'm heading to New York tomorrow... it's gonna be a long drive! We're spreading my Gramma's ashes and then it'll be a little bit of a vacation. Might very well be the last trip up there, then again ya never know what the future holds.

Gatorade makes me want to puke. I can't stand anything sticky sweet like that. I get my potassium from Braggs ACV mixed with a little honey in a glass of water when I'm outside sweating, followed by copious amounts of cool, not cold, spring water. I also love it on my daily salad. We've got a beekeper about a mile from here so it's local grown honey, which I've heard was good for allergies. Must be working because I haven't had an allergy problem in about 35 years. Braggs acv has the mother in it and I've acquired a taste for it. No more heat cramps since I started using just a couple of teaspoons a day. It seems to help with urinary tract problems I developed after radiation burned my bladder as well. I spend all day in heat over 90 several times a week and have no problems with it whatsoever. Might not work for everybody but just sharing what works for me.
I can't say Gatorade is my "drink of choice", but when I've been outside, in the heat, sweating bullets for a few hours it gets rid of that shaky feeling whether it's from low glucose or low potassium. The red colored one isn't too bad and I won't tell you what I call the green one (p*** water). It does work though.
My Dad is a beekeeper He has been since I was very little. Eating honey from the area one lives in is the best for allergies, because the bees pollinate and gather from the things that the person is around everyday Honey Bees are such awesome little creatures! They are very interesting to watch.

So was mine. He also worked for one of the beekeeping supply companies.My Dad is a beekeeper
A denizen of Voltville sent me some honey samples from Greece (guess who, LOL). Definitely a different flavor than the local honey here and it goes really well on pancakes!
