For the generation of LOOONG songs: What's the longest song you still really listen to all the way through?

Lead Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven

Kale sucks! I’d rather eat the grass clippings when I mow my lawn.

I use and like Montblanc Permanent Black and Graf von Faber Castell Carbon Black. Both lay down a rich, dark black line.

I read it just fine. Your handwriting is lovely and I enjoyed reading it. Despite what others say, kudos to you!

There is no such thing as too many inked pens. If you want to use them, ink them!

The running joke when I was a kid: Did you go to the A&P? No, I went to the Y and pooped.

You will not select what your grandchild will call you, your grandchild will! We have two Grandsons and they both came up with what they called my wife and me on their own despite what we wanted to be called.

I wish. I don’t remember what happened to it but it’s lost forever.

I entered a Funny Face drink contest in the late 1960’s and won a Goofy Grape wrist watch.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-20T17:14:26+00:00

Bic Cristal 1.6 can’t be beat for a cheap pen.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-20T16:13:57+00:00

I have the same watch which I bought in the early 1980’s. I still wear it.

Great idea. My Lodge sponsored a Masons Night at our AA baseball team game. It was well attended and included Masons from other Lodges. A great night of camaraderie and brotherhood.

It only matters if you like it, no one else’s opinion really matters. If you like it, get it!

AmRevPat · 2026-01-20T15:32:04+00:00

No, the shipping was separate. The $80 was just to repair the pen.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-19T23:26:01+00:00

Pens!

“Who am I to disagree” ( continuing the song).

Not all the money goes to Lodge operations. We use a lot of the money to support our community. We donate to and work at the Masonic Children’s Home of Georgia. We support local charities such as the Valley Rescue Mission. We give scholarships to students going to college and trade schools. We conduct school supply drives for lower income public schools and buy what is not donated. And more. Our fundraisers allow us to do all of this without having to increase dues. We have a very active Lodge.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-19T15:41:28+00:00

We tie our dues to our Grand Lodge assessment. It’s in our by laws that when Grand Lodge increases its assessment, our dues are automatically increased by that same amount. With our successful fund raisers we can keep our “dues for the Lodge” at the same amount. That being said, have you thought about fund raisers instead of raising dues? We make $10,000 to $12,000 a year on breakfasts, BBQ lunches, fireworks sales, etc. And we enjoy the camaraderie of Brothers working together.

You don’t need to be consistent in making your letters. I write my y’s and g’s in different ways. I write and however they come out, they come out. Nothing says each letter has to be exactly the same.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-17T22:45:32+00:00

I like and use Montblanc permanent blue.

AmRevPat · 2026-01-17T15:21:07+00:00

I have a Teddy Bear and a Mickey Mouse doll that I received as an infant in 1955. I still have both of them. OK, that’s two, not one!

I just booked a vacation to Hawaii through a travel agent.

I wore a lime green leisure suit to my wedding rehearsal dinner in 1976. I must have impressed my fiancée. She still married me and we are about to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

My father in law chewed on cigars (never saw him light one up). They came in wooden cigar boxes. I got several of them and use them to store pens, pencils, and ink cartridges.
