Actually, I thought you meant my love of antique cast iron pans and the seasoning process.

Barbecuing to me is just another way of cooking although I do prefer the old fashioned, natural way.

Now, cast iron?! I have been rather obsessed with old world, antique American cast iron since 2012 but I never considered it a Special Interest. But now, come to think of it, I think it may be.

I am obsessed with it and love everything about it but I don't research it all the time like I do with my other Special Interests I have/had. Does that discount it as a Special Interest?

I love the fact that they're old. I love the fact that they're American. I love the fact that they were once owned and loved by some family's main cook (usually the wife). I love the fact that they've cook countless numbers of dishes over the years (100 or more) and still work beautifully.

I love the fact that my cowboy skillet was probably once hanging off of the side of a chuck wagon and used on some cowboy's open fire out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm blabbing again! :oops:

That's cool....I like cast iron, too.

I tend to like older stuff better than newer stuff.

The old buildings in NYC were just constructed much better than the newer buildings made of glass, for example.

I think my cat is missing the xmas tree. He keeps going over to the empty corner where it was and giving me sad kitty faces.

He looks just like my Boo, my beautiful tabby boy on a crazy day!

Back around 1990:

Schizophrenia and hallucinations used to be one of my Special Interests when I was in my early 20's (way before I was diagnosed with AS - Way before Aspergers was even a thing!) I didn't know it was a Special Interest back then. That was even way before Aspegrgers was a thing - and Special Interests weren't even heard of but in hindsight, I can see the way I took to the subject, the ferocity in which it grabbed me, it was a Special Interest. I was hooked, hook line and sinker. TOTALLY 24/7 OBSESSED.

I watched every video I could get my hands on about Schizophrenia. I went to the library almost every day, constantly reading and rereading books, encyclopedias etc. about Schizophrenia. I had the DSM III (the book) I carried around with me everywhere and read it every chance I got. I took certain medications I'd read can cause Schizophrenia.

I even faked having Schizophrenia and tried to pretend I was having hallucinations to the point I was taken to a psychiatric hospital (which I wanted to experience - until I got there. It was horrible, the one I went to) and was forced by my Mother to see a psychiatrist and forced to take Stelazine! YUCK! (I fooled him. More the fool me!) What a horrible medication. The restlessness it caused was HORRIFIC!

In hindsight, what I put my poor mother through, I can never forgive myself for. I had no idea it would upset her so. I'm sorry Mum. But I can't tell her what I did. I'm too sorry and embarrassed and now she's got dementia and I think maybe I could tell her now but I'm only trying to ease my own guilt and burden and it won't do her any good anyway.

I've actually been afraid to mention this to anyone, through fear my family will find out. I don't even like thinking about it myself but at the time, I didn't even consider what impact it would have on those whom I loved me. I was just indulging, EXTREMELY in my (Special) interest.

24 years later, I still regret what I did but I didn't mean it to hurt anyone I loved. I just didn't consider that. I was so lost in my obsession, I just went crazy over it.

I still haven't experienced an hallucination and, as I know life is cruel, those who don't want it get it and those who do, don't!

He got very sarcastic and hostile (for a professional man - humans!) (on the phone - which was the only means I contacted him by. that many years later).
I think it made him re-evaluate how he evaluates his customers!

Now I'm paranoid about my cat eating geckos.

Do you happened to live in the jungles of Borneo?

If not then I wouldnt worry about your cat encountering geckos in the backyard.

Geckos are everywhere here.
Almost plague proportions.
I had to grab my cat quickly the other night because she pounced on one on the window and had it in her mouth until I flicked it out.
She's an inside cat but the geckos still manage to get in the house.

What part of the world do you live in?

Wait..let me guess...northern Australia?
