granger1900 This must be sheer torture for the families, torn between the harsh realities and hope for their loved one's survival. The pictures on CNN so deep in the mountain give me shudders.

granger1900 You are right about the value of human lives deserving more consideration. It is appalling that we continue to hear about mining tragedy after mining tragedy.

granger1900 I don't think you're oversimplifying things. You are using logic. The reality of many situations defy logic! Many miners do this work because they don't have any other options to support their families and unfortunately the people who own the mines operate...

granger1900 You make and excellent point about technology and robotics being used to enhance mining safety. I wonder if a lot of this is a matter of out of sight, out of mind, literally. In that, we don't see the difficulties and dangers of mining because it is usually...

I know there are many myLotters who were born after John Lennon died so maybe you have a story of your parents or someone else telling you about it or have thoughts of your own about some other musician who died. I was pregnant...

granger1900 Your reaction is understandable. You were a child of twelve becoming a teenager for the first time. That is huge and only happens that moment in your life. I don't think your reaction was selfish at all. It's honest and real. Very much in keeping with John...

Health experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day. Do you? How many steps do you walk a day and how do you do that? I don't get that much exercise with my work so I have to make an effort to incorporate walking into my life and...

granger1900 You are doing very well in your walking. By your reference to your broken pedometer I can tell it is something you pay attention to. I admire that.

What do you want me to make you for breakfast? Do you want oatmeal? Eggs? Toast? Cereal? Are you a juice drinker? Tell me and I will make it. I try to eat oatmeal and when I do, I like it, but never got in the habit at a young...

granger1900 Yes, I have some soybean milk for you. I like it very much in my coffee and for cooking. Thank you for the tips and reminders. A tomato as part of breakfast is a good idea. You have very healthy ideas.

granger1900 Thank you, kimthedane! You are right about human rights issue! There is a long history of struggle for worker's rights.. that has become lost in the U.S... in a lot of politics over the past few decades.

Without even thinking about eating healthy, I realized that I like all kinds of beans which is really good because beans and legumes are very good for you. I love fresh sting beans from the garden. I also love soybeans, edamame,...

granger1900 hmm.. I've never heard of mongo beans.. I have something new to learn. Also, I didn't know legumes could cause joint pain for older people. Thank you.

Do you have a secret place? A place you go just to be alone, or sad, or be happy. It seems I have several "secret" places that I go, especially at other people's places. So I guess, for me it's to be alone. But not always....

I love feta cheese. A little bit goes a long way. I love it with pesto and salads. How do you use feta cheese? Do you have any special tips for incorporating it into other dishes?

granger1900 That sounds excellent, to use with fresh fish. Thank you.

granger1900 Wow! That's really something, to have passage like that within the walls to the roof and that your parents never knew. I'm guessing there may be a lot of other things they don't know about.
