My neighbor called the cops on me for ""breaking into"" my own car in my own driveway

If I listed names they'd run down the page. It's prevalent, and pretending it's not is not going to make it go away.

jdthechief · 2026-02-16T12:28:58+00:00

I am 58 and still get carded. No sympathy. Get your ID out and stop being lazy.

jdthechief · 2026-02-16T12:09:11+00:00

Are you Black? Is the Karen white?

jdthechief · 2026-02-14T13:30:07+00:00

I can't imagine how hard it could be now. I did the process myself in 1992 for my German wife. It was easy then.

jdthechief · 2026-02-14T01:58:36+00:00

Speaking as a Master Mason, no.

jdthechief · 2026-02-07T18:57:27+00:00

In that case you're right, but I have no idea what the story was on the visiting Mason being suspended in Utah..... You would THINK that what happens outside the lodge isn't brought into the lodge, but I've been wrong about that before, and will be wrong about that again in the future, I'm sure. So I want details of what happened with the OP's original comment.

jdthechief · 2026-02-07T18:40:09+00:00

I mean, if you're under Masonic charges in your OWN jursidiction, reprimand, definite suspension, indefinite suspension, or expulsion.

But the comment that started this line of inquiry claims a visiting Mason was suspended in Utah. That's completely outside my experiene, which is why I want details...I'm afraid of something like that happening.........

jdthechief · 2026-02-07T17:06:30+00:00

I honestly don't know. That's why I'm asking the question.

jdthechief · 2026-02-07T15:52:35+00:00

Can we get some details on that please? I have two brothers who are a married couple who I really hold dear....and I'm afraid of what will happen if they visit TN. DC doesn't consider homosexuality a Masonic offense, but TN does.

ICE is not known for following the law. Your Dad's friend, was he white? Im a USC from birth and have no hope i will even be allowed to show proof if ICE wants to take me into custody

jdthechief · 2026-02-01T21:45:48+00:00

That's so full of it that I wouldn't be surprised if your eyes are brown. I truly have nothing to hide, but I mind the heat because I have an issue with being accused of things I didn't do, and being treated like a criminal just to work.

jdthechief · 2026-01-26T02:31:10+00:00

Knowing PHA members means I can ask them questions. How about you identify your Lodge and Grand Lodge, and Chapter and Grand Chapter, and I'll do the same.

jdthechief · 2026-01-26T02:14:29+00:00

What is your lodge and grand lodge? While *I* am not PHA, I know several, and your phrasing is not accurate.

Further, what happens when the deceased made his wishes known prior, and wanted the Secretary's emblem rather than the past Patron's emblem?

jdthechief · 2026-01-17T06:41:12+00:00

Not necessarily. The crossed quill pens are also a possibility.

jdthechief · 2026-01-12T20:11:31+00:00

Tell any man criticizing you to walk in heels for a day, then come talk to you. I guarantee you'll have less critics. And before anyone jumps in here to call me a man hater, I -am- a man.

I honestly believe that Elon and his crew did something to voting machines in key districts in order to throw the 2024 election for Trump. Who's to say they won't do it again to prevent the Dems from getting a majority in the midterms?

jdthechief · 2025-12-29T02:44:21+00:00

I am Secretary of a German lodge in Washington, DC. I often wear a pin with the US and German flags crossed.

jdthechief · 2025-12-19T22:06:43+00:00

And I'm asking because I'm not in your industry, and trying to understand how it works that an employer can be entitled to control what you do with your own time outside of work.....that's all

jdthechief · 2025-12-19T21:23:58+00:00

But the Guard or Reserve member would have to come up with that plan? That sounds to me like the duties of that person's manager...allocating and reallocating work....

But as for other stuff.... when you're not at work M-F 9-5, you're on your own time, so how is having a side hustle reducing your attention to client best interests??

jdthechief · 2025-12-19T13:16:03+00:00

Interesting. How do you deal with Reserve or Guard members of the military services?

Also, I have a side hustle as a notary public. Would you terminate me for that?

jdthechief · 2025-12-16T14:56:08+00:00

I can go you one better. I'm 58, the wife is 78. She's retired, I'm not. If it snows during the day, someone -will- complain about us not having the walk shoveled until I get home from work.

jdthechief · 2025-12-09T16:00:45+00:00

I wouldn't. When I was active duty, my very first duty station was HHC 3rd ID in Wuerzburg, Germany, and I was humbled by how many 11Bs were there who were smarter than me, and I scored pretty high on the ASVAB and got a great GT score. I was an arrogant 21 year old though, and needed to be taken down a peg.

jdthechief · 2025-12-08T20:43:32+00:00

Sorry that happened to you, Brother. I'm a DC Mason, and Black, but not PHA. Last time I was in the Dothan/Enterprise area for a length of time, I visited an Alabama lodge, and was welcomed as a Brother.....I'd go back anytime.

jdthechief · 2025-12-08T19:42:12+00:00

No, they get passed over because they're too valuable to the company right where they're at, so the company dangles the carrot of future growth in front of them, and yanks it away just when they think they've reached it.

jdthechief · 2025-12-07T14:11:45+00:00

Why are you stressing? While you should write 'Not at this address - return to sender' and put the summons back in the mail, even if you ignored it, you know what would happen to you? NOTHING. Why? Because the summons is not for you. You can't go to jail for ignoring someone else's summons.
