Thats esactly what im goin for... an yes... figerin out this salt container issue just might be the clue i need.!!!
An while on my quest a couple days ago i tried anuther experiment:::
I keep the container that holds my neti-pot salt/soda mixture in the cabinet above the counter that the salt container moved on... an befor i unscrew the lid on the neti mixture container i give it a good shake... an then when i take the lid off a little cloud of dust apears... so i shook an opened it a few time to let some of the dust settle on the cabinet... thankin it might act as little ball bearings allowin the salt container to possibly move on its own more easily... but it seemed to have little to no effect

--- no fear... i havent given up
