2. This is scarily true.

My mom has her moms cast iron skillet...at least 75 years of seasoning. I’ll kill to get that skillet. My sister washed it once with soap 😳😫🤬

3. It really doesn't hurt them if they are washed. Easy to season them. Mine belonged to my

grandmother. Use it several times a week. By the way, washing does not mean putting them in a dishwasher. I wipe mine out as best I can, and use a damp paper towel if necessary. Then put the skillet on a hot stove top burner to dry, while rubbing a bit of oil into it.

4. If I had to choose,

I would keep my mother’s cast iron skillets over my $12,000(?) Corningware casserole dish.

5. Yes

My Mom has her Grandmother's cast iron Dutch oven which is 120 years old. She got it when she married on 1/01/1900. I have my other Great Grandmothers cat iron griddle and skillets. That griddle is over 100 years old too. I use one of the skillets for cornbread only. Yum.

10. If you put sugar in cornbread...

you're just a damyankee.
period.

OTOH...
When did sweet tea become a thang/thing?
I'm 78.
Grew up in Birmingham.
The one in Alabama.

We did not have sweet tea.
We had iced tea.
(Not 'ice tea')

If you wanted sweet there was a sugar bowl on the table and each cutlery place setting had a long handled spoon that was there JUST to try and stir up the sugar you'd put into your tea.
