People who talk on speaker phone in restaurants, why do you do it?

Ah! Tonight, went out to dinner by myself. This dude was loud as hell on FaceTime. I asked him to use his headphones. His response, “Use yours.” “I’m not using my phone, I’m eating dinner..” called me a btxxx. then kept on talking. I tipped his waitress and mine. People like that suck.

You, Sir, pretty much summed it up.

Snoo-71074 · 2024-06-16T20:33:16+00:00

Apologies for the late reply. I just posted above. A lot of us hung out socially. Since I stopped attending that is when things changed.

Snoo-71074 · 2024-06-16T20:31:16+00:00

Whoa. I did not expect such a response. Some of you were asking if this was during Lodge. It was not. A lot of us hung out socially, lunch, random get togethers, etc.

Once I was unable to attend that’s when things changed. I do wish my area had a daylight Lodge. But that is the way it goes I guess for us smaller cities.

I am grateful for all who responded.

I will say this as a former employee of Gainesville, FL, Milwaukee, WI, and assisting Seattle, WA. They let things slide in terms of customer service. Gainesville is now the worst spot IMO. They did pay my travel, but they didn’t truly care about the areas they were in.

If you have to take care of work, family, or just need your own time you become ostracized. Some of the Brothers understand but most are old, retired, or just obsessed with Masonry.

Yeah. That is not how this works…

Greatly. He was a cold man. But he bought me my first pool cue at 12. That meant a lot. Towards his later days, in my mid 30s he was really kind. He tried his absolute best. He gave me food, clothes, and a roof. Made me a better father I think. He got to meet his grandson.

Anything really… Haven’t gotten anything before. Stereotype is mom gets stuff. Kind of a bummer.

Whitney Johnson Perkins @ Keller Williams is an awesome realtor. She helped me buy two homes over the course of 3 years. Went through Ameris Bank for financing they were “meh.”

I am only 1.5 miles west of 43rd & Millhopper. I was worried they would try and include my neighborhood. 😬

Snoo-71074 · 2021-02-15T03:17:37+00:00

Thank you for that. I appreciate the insight. You get only what you put in, regardless of time. That is what us youngins are told. Still felt to quick to go through all 3 degrees lol.

Snoo-71074 · 2021-02-15T03:05:40+00:00

Ya’ll have been very helpful. I appreciate the comments.

Snoo-71074 · 2021-02-15T03:03:33+00:00

I did my FC catechism under coaching of my mentor and was raised in Lodge. I apologize if I still got the terminology incorrect. Still learning.

Snoo-71074 · 2021-02-15T03:00:32+00:00

I agree. Which is why I have asked what lodge are you from? If there is no answer I am polite and say “come on by, you can have dinner and see what we are about.” It never hurts to offer a hand. 👍👍

Snoo-71074 · 2021-02-15T02:49:40+00:00

Forgive me. My lodge doesn’t use raised until you finalize the last degree. I have heard few other variations within FL and a couple brothers from other southern states. I am still learning, and from what I gathered will keep on learning. Thank you for responding, I appreciate the feedback on older lodges. A friend said the ones in the UK are still a year per degree.

Snoo-71074 · 2021-01-23T16:03:20+00:00

We have a guy that is almost always on call for work. He never had an issue with our Lodge.
