[FryingPan101]

This is the reason for my name…FryingPan101. Twenty-one years ago I joined FreeRepublic. I had a lot to say…or so I thought. Some of what I said inspired criticism and harsh rebuke. My feelings were hurt. I decided to get out and I posted my reasons why. A Freeper told me to go ahead and get out of the kitchen if I couldn’t stand the heat. Another Freeper told me to think about it. Start new. Choose a new name and be more thoughtful next time around. She said learn from it….be like a frying pan…. and get back in the kitchen. I’ve been here ever since. Often saying nothing. Always being inspired to cook up a thought or two. I can’t think of another donation more important than to FreeRepublic. I’m grateful to the Robinson family for this kitchen. Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone.
