Thanks for the kind words. One interesting point in your post I'd
like to comment on:

T'ain't. But it can do some interesting things. If you inhale the dust it
essentially just sits in the lungs and does the same thing it does when you
get a barium meal: it makes your lungs opaque! Those fuzzy x-rays can hide
other diseases. And the doctors will probably kill you trying to find out
why your x-rays look like that!
And remember--whether you use the barium or the sulfate or the carbonate, in
the glaze, they are just barium. Both can leach.
