Brother dfreybur, You are so right. I'm keeping our new bunch working their tails off! For the first time, our lodge is going to do two graded degrees this year. I'm stuffing new master masons in most of the positions. They are working hard and not making many mistakes. We've done it all...

Re: Your Prediction: Texas Freemasonry in 5-10 Years Well said! And that, my dear brother, is the only way these lodges are going to survive!

I'd be very surprised if either could give a source.

There's something to be said about that. There would be no MSNBC nor FOX NEWS otherwise. Now there's a reasonable thought! Oh, I left out the part about being better off without either of them, didn't I? :thumbup1:

Thank you again for the autographed first edition volume. I'm looking at that damn book hard. Can't decided whether to pass it down for a few of the worthy (only) brothers to read or to stuff it back in the box and place it back in the library. Now that is a selfish thought on my part...

Brother, I can only HOPE SO! And, to tell you the truth ... your design is what masonry should always be. I have a funny take on the definition of NUMBERS. To me, numbers is directly proportional to the amount of true masons one has in a lodge. Anything else is just clutter. God speed...

Well ... if you bow low enough and, and praise rather than ridicule leaving him not the least bit considering any possible guilt he may ... on a slow day, mind you ... just maybe let you stare at it through the linked fence at the far end of the runway. :sneaky2:

Guess what? I ain't down either brother. SO, short of checking net worth, that has to somewhat quell the envy motive. I, personally, agree with very few of your Darwinian concepts. There is abuse in the system. I see it, I work around it like you. But that doesn't blind me to that abuse...

I have considered pop-off valves, but filtering through charcoal could relieve the buildup.

Radical and unsustainable in a world of seven billion souls rushing to 22 or so billion within three generations. Which, without some form of population control is unsustainable in and of itself. Oh my! Ultimately, did we have a right to judge the Chinese birth control measures of the last...

Hey guys. Relax! The 'anglish and the French fought 100 years and waisted many roses before thinking better of it. We've only been at this last was 12 years now. Of course, we'll be dead broke before 100 years rolls around, roses or not. Of course, we've improvised a system where we don't...

I try to. But I have a habit of pulling them off my lapel and giving them to visitors from other jurisdictions. Saturday morning a fellow Worshipful Master from the Commonwealth of Kentucky showed up for our stated meeting at Billy W. Tinsley Lodge No. 1458. I was pro tempro in the East and...

WOW! So ... you think there is really something to all this history of antiquity thing? WOW!

Simple! He's probably like me. I keep forgetting to take them to the nearest Best Buy and dispose of them in a green manner. I never think of it until I'm walking out of the store and trip over the recycle bins.

As expected. The officially sanctioned access issue is a can of worms not many wise men are willing to tackle. Tough call. Thanks for the unofficial, official viewpoint. For more reasons than one, you are now the patriarch of secretarial knowledge in SouthEast Texas. Don't go anywhere or...

Yes. A little more clarity on the PM aprons. My folks are hung up on whether the PM's year can be added to the apron. Went to DDGM but haven't gotten an answer to date. Personally, I don't really care ... as long as I can get a little more sleep next year! One 48-hour period found me...
