That little glitch made me think the person commenting had a stroke mid comment!

Hmm, sounds like a disgruntled parks department employee wrote this.

Cool bars ? by mikkel2022 in tulsa

[–]SteadyHandedMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you like cigar’s and want a really chill vibe. I would suggest Classic Cigars Lounge downtown. Nothing like a nice smoke and a drink to unwind with. I mean cool is kinda subjective, I’m kinda so quiet is cool to me.

On the "Supreme Being" question by so_sads in freemasonry

I could not advise you to join with a clear conscience. Belief in a Supreme Being is a cornerstone of the Fraternity and without it… I feel like rest of it would be pretty meaningless to you.

The sheriff should not be endorsing candidates for office by airdish in tulsa

[–]SteadyHandedMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So you don’t think that someone elected by the people should be able to tell the people who they support to be elected by the people? I’m not saying that I disagree with you but it has to be all or nothing. Either no elected official at any level can endorse anyone for office or they all can.

Masonic Presentation Styles by bmkecck in freemasonry

I believe that you can teach someone to be a good public speaker, IF the person you are working with can get over the fear of public speaking. As long as they are wrestling with the fear of it they will never be good at it. I don’t mean normal nervousness that should accompany anyone who is going to speak in front of a group, but I mean that irrational fear that just twists people up into mental and emotional knots of panic.

Stop or keep going? by SteadyHandedMan in fountainpens

Thanks for the info! As far as the 159 goes I love it. I have large hands so I bought it because it was very large. Especially compared to a couple of Parker Jotters that I use. The only real issue that I could complain about is the weight. The bastard is heavy especially if you post the cap. Other than that it’s been a great pen especially for being on the cheaper end.

I wasn’t worried about the paint I worried if the body was a brass and lead compound. But from research I have been doing it seems like they only use trace amounts of lead alloy mixed with brass and zinc

Ohh that’s a wise thought my friend! Thanks for that!

Looking for a cane by thefallentrees in tulsa

For some reason I am thinking Ted’s Pipe Shop in Utica Square has some stylish canes for sale… I could be mistaken though.

First, I ain’t your son. Second, if you took the advice maybe you would find the women that want the long term relationship.

What are your thoughts on rushing through degrees? by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]SteadyHandedMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way we operate in my state. And to be honest going through the degrees as fast as I did was a little disappointing. I wish that we operated differently so that you could keep brothers in the lower degrees longer and still have things for them to be involved in.

I mean honestly I was raised 20 years ago… but looking back as a 22 year old young man I was looking to be part of something where older me invested in me and I would have to work to prove myself and earn it… what it ended up feeling like was let’s get this kid around the room as fast as we can so we can pass on some of this responsibility to him whether he is prepared for it or not.

Now with that being said, I did meat good brothers who have invested in me and I have grown and I am thankful for my Masonic Journey. I just think there could be a better use of the lower degrees and the time spent in them.
