How many of you cook with cast iron pans? I just brought a new one and it said it was seasoned, but I found it worked much better when I seasoned it the old fashion way. Have you brought a new one lately.

Sweetchariot Yes, I was shocked...and unfortunately, this was a pan that my mother had through her marriage, so you can imagine how seasoned it was..lol

Sweetchariot I had a woman friend who got stuck in a snow drift one winter, and couldn't get her car out. She was all alone on a quiet street, and didn't know what to do. So she just kept praying that someone would come along. Shortly after, a volkswagon pulled up behind...

Sweetchariot Of course it is easier when we are young kids, with no care in the world....however, as young kids we didn't realize it we had it easy. I think I found it hard even then, and never realized it was going to get harder as we went along....lol

Sweetchariot No, I haven't bought one recently, but need to. I keep my cast iron pan in a cabinet close to the floor. And one winter when it was real cold, I took the pan out and put it on the burner, not thinking that it was going from cold to hot immediately. All of a...

Sweetchariot I haven't been on here for a long time. Truth is, I joined Mylot for the extra dollars I earned. But when I learned that there was very few discussions that interested me, I got frustrated with it. Then I noticed that the cents earned seemed to have gone down...

Sweetchariot I think in the winter, we tend to stay in more, and spend more time on the computer. However, if when spring arrives, and we are still sitting here, doing the same darn thing, I would say we definitely have an addiction, and we have to get off our a*ss and get...

Sweetchariot Honey...Bottom line is...the older generation know how to work...they go to work every day, sick or not sick, they know that they are getting paid to do a job, and they do it. They don't spend their time on the phone talking to their friends, or talking to...

Sweetchariot I understand what you are saying but, you know what? That's never going to change. So rather than be angry all my life at what other people do, I find myself much more at peace if I let it go, and not focus on those people. In the end, they will get their just...

Sweetchariot There are probably numerous reasons...not all good, or not all bad...I guess I chose to let others live their life, and focus on myself and how I can be a better person, rather than spend my time observing the lives of others. Life is so much easier that way.

This seems to me one of the worse questions reporters ask people who are involved in terrible situations. Yet it is asked over and over by new people. If you were there what would you ask? What would you answer?

Sweetchariot While it does sound like a stupid question, it is possible that it is a conversation opener that allows the person being interviewed the space to express themselves...and they may feel grateful for the chance to say how they feel. Imagining myself in the...
