No. A London Broil is most times a flank steak and sometimes is a round steak from the top of the round. London broil isn't a cut of meat although many stores sell it as one.

Did you marinade the tritip? Otherwise, it can be chewy and bland.

I've had lots of compliments on my recipe. I sell these at large Art and Wine festivals.

If I have come across as condescending, I sincerely apologize. That was not my intent.

I realize that differant parts of the country have very differant lodges. I'm not only in Cali, I'm in Santa...

Although many presidents have been Freemasons, I don't believe that Obama is a mason. The sites that have claimed he is a Freemason tend to be the same sites that are convinced that the masons are...

I only belong to the blue lodge. My real enjoyment of Freemasonary is the youth groups. I love working with the kids!

My impression so far is that you're trying to make Freemasonary a religion or...

Yes. The religous requirement is that you believe in a supreme being, whomever it may be. I have been to masonic rituals where the bible was replaced with the Torah. I have been to one ritual where a...

"serious matter"?? Not really.

It might be taken somewhat serious if it was mason vs. mason. But even then, I doubt a lodge would do anything. And, at least with the more recent CMC's, they have...

All lodges are a bit differant in their personality. You can expect a warm greeting and handshake from just about everyone there. Most lodges still have a stated meeting dinner at the first meeting...

I'm gonna disagree with you here FR. The reason that some states don't allow "asking", is because it then the question arises: is this of the candidates "own free will.............." etc.

The bible was probably the bible he was given upon receiving the apprentice degree. Inside the front cover this bible is normally signed by the officers and participants that were present at the...

In Cali that is strictly forbidden. But the silly thing about it's okay for my wife to ask in my place.

Fair enough. I'll answer a couple of them real quick.

You got this part correct. The rest of your post is inaccurate.

Luck of the draw. If they do, you'll be at...

Some are better than others. But, even after graduating, all you're gonna know is just enough to be dangerous. Wyotech and RSI are both "you get what you put into it". IBT has always been pretty...

I think you'll find you have trouble getting into commercial side even with school. I wouldn't hire anyone that doesn't at least have schooling under their belt.

I would suggest visiting your brother before commiting to anything permenant. Do a real good check on the cost of housing. If that doesn't scare you off, you'll love it here.

Relook the post from Seaboard that you made the "crack" about loyalty. He got fired from Linc-Richmond.

I received a phone call from a very close friend that works fairly well placed in the intelligence community dedicated to terrorism. During the call he explained that he and his wife were going to...

One of the basic prerequisites for membership is that all members must believe in a supreme being. All religions are welcome but, atheists are not.

Did any of you see the History Channel show on Freemasons, Tuesday night? Very interesting show! I was unaware of the hidden masonic symbols in Washington DC.

They also discussed the origins of...

Good job brother Shaun! I enjoyed the second degree but, I think you'll find your being raised much more entertaining.

Hi John,
How ya been? I'd like to agree with some of the posters claiming that overestimating one's level of ability is expected. Yes, I agree with you that most do build themselves up. But, I try...

I ran the Richmond branch for 4 years. They're alright. Nothin special. You could do worse. They put a new branch manager in N. Carolina a year or two ago. That created a few problems but, they got...

I found this article on masons interesting. Perhaps some of you will as well.

Alright! Last personal post as I think we're hijacking the thread. My mother graduated WG high in '53, me in '76, my son last year. I'll bet you remember the frame store that was there before...

If your wife grew up on Glenn, then she went to WG high. What year? I can't place Glennwood Ave. I know Hicks of course. There is always something being redone over in that area. It's a great...

Norm,
You're missing the point. As I have stated before, very little of these oaths is still secret. It's available in the library. The point is that I gave my word that "I" wouldn't share or reveal...

Yep! You're absolutely right! As masons, we have vowed not to reveal anything about the oath. That is why we all got silent. I realize that the oath is public info at libraries etc. But, the oath I...

Geez-I cut and pasted this for you refer. You'll just believe any silly ass thing won't ya. Wait, all of this and the references it gives is part of the conspiracy right??

If you're going to spout this comedy, at least get some of it right. First, freemasonary is a decendant of the original Knight Templars.

And for those brothers who haven't heard this, I'll share...

And Damn Proud of It!

rednechtech,
As I stated earlier, I've dealt with the ignorant several times in the past with regards to freemasons. It is a waste of time. I think most people reading this thread can see that his...
