The similarity of the GMAIL thing always makes me smile :)

Out of interest, what are the red collars for ?

Yikes !

I would use the wriggle room - there has been no advice your petition has been rejected. I would follow up with your friend and forget the other application, but every asked, do confirm you had applied to join, but after submitting an application, never heard back.

Thank you Bro.

Awwww super cute ! Congratulations to your whole family :)

Congrats. And just remember it more strongly marks a beginning than the end of the quest to obtain the Degrees.

I think it is as simple as this (which I often day) - Brother is an easy title to get and a very hard one to earn.. but there are only so many hours in the day, and Lodge must be in the context of Family First, Work Second, Lodge Third... but many Brothers I truly count as family.. and there...

Agree - but also sometimes it is comparing apples to oranges.. here, we go into a 5 day lock-down for two cases in the State. Other places have thousands and it is business as usual.. so, as usual, Freemasonry is often a product of time and place..

Sunday 6 am here ! but at a ZOOM call might be doable..

I'm interested, but also time poor. I also don't know much about it so will not be able to critique it much on "facts" - but was going to have lunch today starting to watch it in installments.. but the phone started ringing.. and that plan went astray. I will let you know what I think if I get...
