I can see your point, Brother Mark, but a few well spoken questions, and a true Brother will be shown and the conversation can proceed from there. A good Masonic communication doesn't have to have anything to do with ritual or things that the profane don't need to know, just things like getting...

I had seen lapel pins with the knife and fork and other things regarding such, but my comment was in reference to the cartoon that was posted with the Brother wearing his apron like a baby bib and having a knife and fork in his hands. I thought it was pretty hilarious. That being said, it might...

Welcome to Texas (officially)!

Thank You, my Canadian Brother. Long live the Queen.

Never heard of it being marinated in Root Beer. I wonder what it tastes like. I, also, am a cook, sort of. I had to learn to cook at an early age because I am the eldest of six children and both parents worked. I used to experiment with dinner. Sometimes it got me in trouble and sometimes not...

Degree practice is the perfect place for a relatively new MM to gain experience in the different positions and chairs. If he will listen very carefully and get with his mentor he can learn more and more about what is needed. Hopefully his mentor has had some experience in the line. My mentor is...

That goes to show how attentive I was, or wasn't, in World History in high school, don't you know.

I kinda feel sorry for those of you whose lodges go dark for the summer. The only time I've seen my lodge go dark was when New Year's Day fell on the same day as the stated meeting, and of course, during Christmas, and we usually have some sort of open or public (family) function then.

Is not Canada Day the equivilent of our 4th of July? Canada's independence from the Crown?

My thoughts and prayers for your little one, my Brother!

Very well said, Bro. Vick.

Baja Oklahoma? Don't ever, ever let my Aunt hear you say that. She will never let me live it down. She lives in Oklahoma City.

Welcome, Brother Dave. Enjoy the journey, I certainly am.

Greetings, Brother Mervold, from good old, dry, dusty West Texas! I've been to the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, but not to Saskatchewan, although, I heard that it is totally different from all three of the others. I am an old broken down, busted-up truck driver that cannot drive any...

Here, I agree! There is more to the Blue Lodge than just the three degrees. There is a lot of light in the Blue Lodge to be seen be the Mason who just looks for it. I am waiting until after I have finished my year in the East in my Home Lodge before I even think about an appendent body. I am JW...

I got mine out the other day and looked at it, and measured it, and it is not even regulation "Texas" size. It is just a 13"x15" apron, so I couldn't wear it even if I wanted to. Besides that, it feels like it has a cardboard backing, it is so stiff. I was kind of dissappointed when I saw all of...

Brother Brian, the best way to get over that bit of nervousness is to forget about the rest of the lodge. Get it in your head that it is just you and your Mentor there. You are just in the lodgeroom practicing for the "big day". That was the way I looked at it and I came away with a near word...

Ah, but Brother Daniel, when will that day come? You may have to re-hash that every time you put your fingers to the keyboard. You know as well as I do that the system is still antiquated and it moves at a snail's pace to get anything done, and I mean anything.

So that's where the "Knife and Fork Degree" comes in?
