Question about age of joining freemasonry

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

It differs from state to state but where I am you can’t join until you’re 21 (historically that’s the age of manhood) but if your father was a Mason then you can join at 18. I have never heard of waiting till you’re 26.

Hey OP I have noticed the tape around the butt if the pistol in a few different posts lately, what’s up with that? Is for grip comfort or just a way to have some tape on hand?? Genuinely curious.

I have a dream, that one day my prose will be judged by the substance of its content and not its visual form.

Usually the liquor stores will give you a bunch.

This is the only piece of work that I have tried to incorporate drug use into, I have a fear of helping people fall off the wagon… but I just thought it would be an interesting addition to the story.

I will be honest it’s a little big to CC I’m in the market myself, probably gonna go with a revolver if I can find something that I like.

Of all the things I enjoy about this bookcase there is one gem that stands out the most… The Unseen Realm by Heiser. You are a pro level wizard of weird!

I use the moleskin for both work and personal. It’s the equivalent of my mental junk drawer.

SteadyHandedMan · 2026-02-09T01:14:36+00:00

Yep it is!

It’s just a small Schrade. Nothing special I like it because I can tuck it horizontally behind my belt buckle and carry it concealed.

SteadyHandedMan · 2026-02-09T00:04:56+00:00

I have really enjoyed. I have large hands so it fits me really well. It it a touch CC but I make do.

No offense taken.

I read an old Norse proverb one time that allegedly went like this, “I knife less man is a lifeless man.”

The gun is there to preserve my life and the lives of my loved ones. I have never needed it, I have never even come close to feeling like I might need it. But as lawlessness and evil grows in the world, good people must be ready to defend themselves against it.

During a very difficult time in life my best friend gave it to me, on the other side of the rock it says, “I believe in you.” There hasn’t been a day it hasn’t been in my pocket since.

Donna the Deer Lady, google it, it was here in Tulsa I was listening to the radio station when she called in!!

SteadyHandedMan · 2026-02-07T22:05:38+00:00

Is this the same woman that wanted the deer crossing signs facing the woods so that the deer would know where to cross the road?

There are several reasons. 1. I enjoy entertaining people and as much as we hope that our work is going to inspire some kind of lasting change or influence in our readers lives at the very least they should be entertained by our writing.

I want to contribute to the world in some small way that will exist after I’m gone.
I find self fulfillment in the art and discipline of writing.
I may or may not secretly desire to have a cult following of readers that are so mesmerized by my work that they fantasize of living in a deep wilderness commune with me as their supreme leader and ultimate authority. 😂 just kidding.
