Man a TGO toboggan would be cool too. I definitely want a hat either on other than the pink one for me.

Cool deal guys. I am still out of town. Just got into Eureka Springs, AR. around 6pm this evening. We will be here until Tuesday morning, and then heading back to Memphis. (we have to have the rental car back by 6) Nice bird! and Nice backyard. I hope to get out in the woods next Saturday.

Opening day of Turkey seasson.....lets see.......where will I be spending most my day.............Oh yeah, in Silver Dollar City. At least it is family time, and the little one will love it.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have shot the #4 nitro, and it was a good pattern at 40, and I didn't try anything else.

Should I be using #5? I have no idea.

WOW We have now started arguing with the dictionary....I am gracefully bowing out. PM me if yall think I can add anything else, or make a bigger mess.

+1 James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

I think I agree.

If and when I get to go, I will be using my Remington 870 express with an Extra Full Turkey Choke, with #4 Remington 3" Turkey Shells.

On the note of this thread becoming a debate, it was not designed to. The original poster had a non-firearm related question and posted in the General Topic Forum. Derogatory comments were made toward the subject matter of the proposed question, and feelings were hurt and or members felt the need to defend what they do. This is the same as if someone ask a question about a Glock, and someone chimes in about how much a Glock sucks.......then a simple question turns into a debate. (I wonder if in the future the Glock vs. XD debate will become epic?.....oh wait is has. LOL) It goes back to the saying my mammy use to tell me "If you ain't got anything nice to say, then keep your mouth shut." Now in saying that, we all have a right to comment on whatever we want, as long as we abide by the Code of Conduct here at TGO. This subject matter just happens to be one of age old disagreements, and there as some people who like to Many threads I never reply to because I have nothing to add, or they do not pertain to me. This thread was titled "How Many Masons?" and posed the question of how many masons are on TGO. I opened it, because I am a Freemason, as my screen-name eludes to. I enjoy Masonry, and felt like I needed to try to explain some things, so the people who genuinely were interested in learning a thing or two about the Oldest and Largest Fraternity in the world, could do so through a member. I am sorry for my contribution to making the thread go astray from the original topic. I guess my ole' goat got stirred up.

The "Mod. or Administrator" you speak of is the owner and operator of this forum. He gave said member a warning, said member ignored the warning, proper action was taken. I didn't see this thread till after the banning so I for one do not know what was said to cause David to ban this fellow, but it must have been something worthwhile, because David just doesn't go around banning members. This is one of the more "free" sit I have visited, and I stand behind David's decision to keep this place as friendly and positive as possible. We are a gun board. Other things are allowed to be discussed, which can sometimes become heated, and those type situations do not bid well for the overall appearance of us gun owners to John Q. Public.

The Bad Luck Charm, your post quoted about of biblical scriptures, that are not relavant to this discussion. As far I as read into your post, which was just scripture and someone's commentary on said scriptures, I can see you are pointing that masonry teaches a man can get to heaven through his works. I have said it before and I am saying it again; Masonry teaches Morals and the Golden rule. None of us think because we help out burned and cripple children through the Shriner Hospitals, or Provide Eye Care to children through the Templar Eye Foundation, or Provide Services and Developmental Centers for the Care of Speech problems in children, or donate money to the Masonic Widow's and Orphans fund, that by these things we will be worthy to enter into the pearly gates. Others say we believe that. It is almost like those people are saying that nobody should help out anyone else in the world. Also there is no "worship" involved in Masonry. I don't care how many websites or "ex-masons" tell you otherwise.

Ignorance is bliss. People love to created "facts" based on "stories" others have told. Please enlighten us to the reason why other organizations are wrong, based on people's opinion, and I will point you toward the Brady Campaign. Boy I can't wait for the wealth of knowledge!

Murphy's Law. This is the weekend we scheduled our mini vaction/get away to Branson and Eureka Springs. Foiled Again.

Is this what you are talking about?

Fancy Shmancy, grow a pair Nancy. LOL That rhymed.

I love these smilies. Alright I will stop...only serious replies, from now on.

Looks very nice! I would give anything to have not planed the family (short get away) this coming up weekend. I would have loved to made it over to Hero Gear, to at least shake a few hands. I will definitely buy a hat when they go up for sale on here.

Foiled again

I think you need to just hand that piece of crap on over to me, and let me dispose of our garbage. Please.

That is what we want everyone to believe. LOL just kidding. ...not really ....naw, just joshing yall ...... or am I LOL We do not invite men to join. A Person must ask an existing mason to join. Hence the phrase "To Be One, Ask One" or you might have seen it on Bumper stickers like this "2B1ASK1". I know a few brothers who have told me that they saw a lot of their friend wearing the rings, and taking about Lodge functions, and they kind of got their feelings hurt when they were never invited to join. LOL...it has happened before. We feel that it is very important that a Man petitions the Lodge of his own free will and accord.

Thanks for sharing that clownsdd. Man it is hard calling you by something other than your real name. You have to many aliases
