2001 Mitsubishi Mirage LS 1.8L of Japanese power. 165,000 miles runs like a champ and perform all my own work, and paid off. Getting a 2010 Ford F-150 after my wedding late summer/early fall. Going to keep the car though.

That's all propaganda. We both know that Wimax causes cancer and kills babies.

See I read something that Sprint's "4G" in not truely a 4G network but a slightly enhanced 3G. That we are still many years away from a 4G network. I just pulled up the Tech Specs and they have the same processor and all. Boils down to Windows 6.5 with HTC Sense (Which is getting awesome...

Reminds me of a MSB meeting or a MWSA meeting.

What is the difference between this and the HD2 that came out yesturday, and that I will be purchasing in the next week?

I so agree Drape. We have rewrote it to reflect the current times.

That is a great point Blake. I want to apologize if I made it seem like every Lodge has this issue. Fact is a most do not and this is an individual act not a Masonic act.

If this was a private purchase I would say great. By all means yes but the problem lies in that it was a government contract and it is not supposed to be there.

How do you "Just remove them" when our GL Law protects them when this happens. So we are to accept this? This behavior does not belong in this fraternity and we need something to prevent it. Do you know how many men of great quality we are missing out on because of the fact we don't have...

Excersise the 3 button as well. I didn't like mine at first but know I think it just adds that dash of class. Up to the individual of coarse but something is said about a nice suit.

We have tried before and most lodges we have been to love for us to come and do a presentation but don't want to do what it takes to make the changes to make it happen. Many times we find out that it takes a total overhaul and vision change. We have one we are working with right now and they are...

Brother Ebeling we agree on something here. I agree this Law and a majority of laws we have would not be needed if every member that had a dues card were a Mason at heart. Problem is there are some that are not. Being able to witness this act first hand I think it is needed to show our stand...

I have spoke to the GL of TX on membership ages and 3 years ago the average age of a Mason in Texas was 68 which explains why my average age for Masons at Fort Worth 148 is 70. I am willing to bet it soon comes down. We have a huge influx of members under 40 (about 27 right now) that are going...

I don't know that I am the perfect person for this advice but I think you are just looking for points of view. I think in the EA we are given the gavel so that we may chip away at each other not for us to only use on ourselves. I think it is your duty to help upright the Brother in his moral...

I totally agree Bro. Rhit. and Brother Bill. When I say "dying" it is focused more at the Lodges that do sit and talk of the past. Freemasonry itself is probably as strong as ever but the Lodges are dwendling. It is a rebirth of sort is what I am seeing. The age of Masonry is changing and we are...

If you like that the you will love this: http://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/22/us/crack-house-fire-justice-or-vigilantism.html?pagewanted=all I thought of this story I saw on TV when I read this.

I sit around some Lodges and it seems to be the thing to talk of "the good ole days". Then you hear how we are in trouble. I found this quote on a website I was reading. In his book The World is Flat, Thomas Friedman quotes business organization consultant Michael Hammer: One thing that...

Seconded JTM.

Here is the copy and past from the pdf of the 2009 Laws (there should be no change to this in 2010 Laws) Art. 333. Order of Business. At stated meetings after opening of the Lodge in due and ancient form, a quorum being present, the Order of Business, unless otherwise ordered by the Lodge...

I disagree but may be wrong. That same article states "unless otherwise ordered by the Lodge or the Worshipful Master...." If the master does not want or is voted on previously I would say no they do not have to be read. I plan on making a motion next meeting to accept minutes without reading...
