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

cast iron pans

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 19 Jan 10

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 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 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.

Does it annoy you when the press asks people how they feel in a tragedy?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 14 Jan 10

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?
