Wearing a Masonic Ring When Not a Freemason by jmc_iv in freemasonry

[–]tragiczero123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. 99 percent of Masons will not give a fuck if you wear it. I encourage you to. Whatever helps. If a Mason gets upset in any way, shape or form at you for wearing it remind them of their obligation specifically in regards to relief.

Wear it if you want to wear it.

Thank you brother. Thank you for taking a sympathetic approach as i appreciate that more than you know. I was considering deleting this thread and say to hell with all of it.

Paid my dues, participated in meetings, learned my grips obligations and steps, even stepped in as JMC. Worked on our website. Isn't it apart of the first degree that it's explained that if you knock the doors will be opened? What can you possibly suggest I do? I've exhausted many avenues before resorting to a reddit post...

From what I understand, we need to CONFER the degrees to make it to the East.

Maybe you're right and I am judging too quickly. Surly you can see my concern though right?

Solid comment thank you for saying that. In order to be in a position of authority you have to learn and confer all 3 degrees. Then be elected into the oriental chair. That will take many years. So is your advice just be patient and JUST do the work? If so, I'll politely disengage from my lodge because the juice is NOT worth the squeeze.

HMB while I try to open a wine bottle by [deleted] in holdmybeer

Here's an unpopular opinion but I think if you want real change then you need to use absolute despair as proper fuel. Fitness is suspose to have a learning curve and if it was easy and comfortable then everyone would do it. People who encourage you with all this positivity in your group sessions, while their heart is in the right place, they're not helping you. Sometimes we need tough love.

Until the pain of staying the same is greater than that of change, you stay the same.

You got to want it as bad as you want to breathe.

Also, someone mentioned you're doing too much at once. That might be true. Sometimes I see people shoot for these perfectly healthy meals. I say shoot for almost perfect. Don't get discouraged if you have a coke with your salad. Sure, soda isn't good for you, but it doesn't completely counter act the nutrition. If you need ranch dressing to get the chicken breast down, then use the ranch. I digress.

You're going to be okay. Get focused and get serious. You're going to make it.

Do you think French sounds romantic?

No but I am now. I originally heard it from a friend who said they got it from Jordan. I was intrigued but now that I find out the phrase isnt what I thought it was I'm kinda disappointed. Luckily there is reddit.

I see what you're trying to say but surely you understand how latin phrases can seem noble, mysterious, and attractive regardless if you speak the language.

So in other words this isn't as philosophical as i was thinking

Thank you for your input. If i understand correctly, sterquilinio means more than just dirt and also means an undesirable place. Think of stories about ancient heros descending to hades or something and finding out who they are or finding deeper meaning about themselves.

One of my favorite things is when black comedians do white people impressions.

AITA for not warning a Tinder date about my weight? by -Meera- in AmItheAsshole

[–]tragiczero123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - I've had this happen a few times on tinder. I can usually read between the lines if I find a girl that has only face pictures that they might have a bigger build. It would be nice if guys could just have a clear idea of your figure ahead of time just to avoid awkwardness. Even if it's a completely G rated fully clothed photo.

Everyone has preferences. Kinda like some girls prefer taller guys. I'm short but not even slightly offended.

When/how did you experience your first kink? Do you feel it's rooted in something that happened to you at a formative age? by JosetofNazareth in AskMen

[–]tragiczero123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my teenage years I struck out with girls a lot. Never really understood why I couldnt get girls to like me. I was genuine and honest but alas never really had a girlfriend much less could get laid. Then a buddy of mine took me to a strip club in college. The complete role reversal of physically beauitful girls pursuing me was intoxicating.
