    American History X, Shawshank Redemption, and Fight Club Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, and any Mel Brooks movie (they don't make comedy like that anymore.)

    Looking for a good email client

    The only one I have used that are worth anything is Thunderbird and Outlook. Outlook is what I use at work and home but I have used Thunderbird in the past. We get an amazing deal on Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (similar to Ultimate). We get it for $21 with our Lockheed Discount but I can...

    Another Apron Question

    That is how I read it as well. This is one article I would like to see go away. I wish we could decorate our aprons and I have seen some knockout aprons from other jurisdictions. I also know that the lodges have to spend more trying to find the 16 x 16 when most jurisdictions are allowed 13 x 15.

    March for Babies - Walk

    All I would like to let you know of a very near and dear organization that has affected my life since my step-daughter was born only after 29 weeks gestation. She weighed 2 lbs and 11 oz and because of the efforts that are put on all over this world by the March of Dimes/March for Babies she...

    A True Rangers Fan

    A Rangers fan , Yankee fan and Red Sox fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team more. The Red Sox fan insist he is the most loyal. He yells "This is for the Sox" and jumps off the mountain. Not to be out done the Rangers fan is next to profess his love for his team he...

    3 Black Balls Vs 1 Black Ball

    Could not agree more with your statement Brother. I wonder how my lodge used to have close to 2000 members in the 1920s had it not allowed most that petitioned to be raised. We are less than 10% of that now.

    3 Black Balls Vs 1 Black Ball

    On a side note the law that Bill Lins stated is what used against a member of our Lodge when he sent out an email detailing his investigation and how pleasant the candidate was. Nothing more than what is discussed here in this thread. He was told by the Grand Secretary that he was in violation...

    3 Black Balls Vs 1 Black Ball

    Great discussion on this topic!!! The three balls were changed because one disgruntled member could essentially kill a Lodge just because of difference in opinion on a separate issue or by mistakenly picking up an incorrect cube. This was supported by the committee and a I am curious if the...

    Resolutions 2012

    If I answered I would have had the thread answered by post #5. Sometimes you need to let the kid touch the hot plate so he can learn how hot it is. Plus I would have never got to see your sweet, sweet words of wisdom.

    Plate Update

    Well that pretty much clears it up Bro. Beathard. I had not heard so I too was curious. I had been under the impression by some that apparently did not fully understand that since legislation was involved it did not remove the $8000 requirement. I do think they will get it back and the ROI is a...

    PM out of Austin now in DFW

    Tarrant Lodge #942 would be proud to have you Brother. We too are on the west side of Fort Worth about 5 miles inside loop 820 heading toward downtown on Jacksboro Hwy 199. If you like shoot me a PM. We are actually doing a Masters tonight.

    Plate Update

    Brother Bob, I agree 100% with you on the quality of output and I think with continuing pressure we can get that slowly changed. The Texas Mason Magazine has for sometime been embarrassing and I have questioned the validity of it for several years. The educational content is minimal if at all...

    Resolutions 2012

    Amazing Job guys. I loved sitting back and watching the Brethren get this hammered out and the brainstorming taking place. I am anxious to see the results of the final submitted resolution.

    Cigar Night on Friday

    Ok, i'm about to head that way Elton. Do you still want me to bring the piñata and the snow globe party favors I ordered? If not I'll just grab my class of 2000 letter jacket and head that way.

    Cigar Night on Friday

    The Manager of the Brazil Brasileiro has the patio reserved for us to sit out and enjoy the fellowship of other Masons and friends. It is located in Richardson off of Arapaho. Myself and a few other Masons from my Lodge will be there (including the Manager). We would love for other Masons to...

    Teen Mom 2

    Bro. Munsel, we recently had a guy petition the Lodge and during the initial interview and question process we were talking about the "charitable" side of Masonry and spoke of the Shrine and Scottish Rite Hospitals and his jaw dropped. He has been taking his son to the Scottish Rite Hospital in...

    Teen Mom 2

    So my wife is watching her show, Teen Mom 2, and she calls me in to see it and I reluctantly go see what she wants and they have taken one of the babies to the Shriners hospital. This after one hospital did an MRI and said nothing was wrong. Must say it was a good plug on a dumb show but good...
