Exactly, who do Tupperware think they are. Men have just as much right to crispy vegetables. I would suggest you Google 'Anne Summers' !! That's right, Bill. Crispy vegetables for everyone I say.

"That's right, Bill. Crispy vegetables for everyone I say."
Count me out Bro Leo! I strongly dislike most vegetables especially crispy or as they say "Al dente" and I avoid them apart from roast spuds and chips. No use inviting me to a vegetarian meal !
Put it like this, years ago I signed a Treaty with the Vegetable Kingdom. I don't eat its subjects, they don't give me the "trots".
My favourite meals are a nice piece of steak , a good fry up such as a mixed grill, meat pies etc. I have found a nice Polish Pub in Reading where the meals are virtually all meat, with the only veg being spuds. Culinary Heaven for me!

Culinary Heaven for me! Sounds like a place followers of the Atkins Diet would appreciate, all that protein, etc... I do eat meat but I am a salad and veggie lover, too - my poor digestive system couldn't handle it any other way. In fact, I am seriously considering going full-out vegetarian

Yes by accident rather than design my diet is close to Atkins, although I do eat carbohydrates such as white bread, rolls, pasta, rice etc. My rule is quite simple, "Do I like it? Yes! Then I eat it. If I dislike it then I don't". Expressions such as "It's good for you" fall on totally deaf ears as far as I am concerned.
Have to disagree with you on the salad, it would have very nasty effects on my digestion and I can't stand the stuff so I simply ignore it.

Some are fortunate then brother that they have freedom of such choice when it comes to the food they eat; some, though, are not so lucky. I love red meat but have to limit it on account of gout in my right foot.

Being off topic has never killed a thread around her before Sounds like she makes a good salad. Steve doesn't have to eat it, though. I'm sure there's a home party for meat eaters, too

One thing I would like to make clear is that I tolerate other people's dietary wishes. Having been the Secretary of an UGLE Lodge I was well used to accommodating various requirements such as Kosher and Halal, and medical variations to the set meal to suit conditions such as Coeliac, Diabetic, Lactose Intolerant, Low Salt, Nut Allergy etc, as well as Vegetarian. Now in the majority of cases this caused no great problem if enough advance notice was given.
I do have to say however that I have encountered amongst some Vegetarians a "Holier than Thou" attitude and an intolerance towards those like myself and the majority of people who wish to eat meat. I find this most annoying as I would always go out of my way to ensure they obtain a meal which complies with their principles. I respect their right not to eat meat etc but object strongly to their commenting on what I eat.
Thankfully many Vegetarians are content to eat their food and leave others in peace to eat theirs but alas there are a vociferous few who try to impose their beliefs on others as regards diet.
Has anyone else encountered this annoying "control freak" behaviour from Vegetarians?

I could you guys just answer the questions. please! Lynn, this is just how this forum works. It is like a conversation among friends, it will wander a bit, then come back to the original question. Patience. No one can be serious all the time. "Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit." - Aristotle

I know maximus It's just that have been off the forum for few days and I thought my questions would be answer. Architekt over here is on some other stuff though. I am not getting into it with you architekt. So am going use life skills and drop the whole thing. Like I said I have not been on the forum for a few days. The forum got off track so I thought I intervene. I asked nicely. If you want me to leave just PM me and I will. Now am paranoid. I worry about the wrong things.

Lynn most of us know each other pretty well. I am sorry if my joking around has put the thread off course. I know not everyone does humour. But you are right no one has answered the questions relating to American Co Masonry and Le Droit Humain. www.comasonic.org/faqaf.html try this for some answers. and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-Freemasonry

I have only went over two books. The rest of my information comes from my uncle, websites, articles and documentaries. But I'll try to get hold of the books by the authors you mentioned.

I don't believe ever thing on the Internet that I read. Come now, even I know there are some quacks out there. Plus am pretty good researcher which is good for future historian. I have read both the books you mentioned. My uncle never told me that York rite is Christian rite. I don't know where you got that from. All the documentaries I watched were from the history channel (2) discovery (1) and National Geographic (1). Last one I watched on the Internet which was freemasonry revealed. Which I thought was the best one.

Have you looked through those books. Only one of them has small section on co-masonry and female masonry. The other one doesn't have anything at all. Don't get me wrong they are good books for Freemasonry in general. But all my questions are more opinionated than a regular question. Oh and architekt I am getting these really strong vibes from you like you don't want me asking these questions.

You what I've had it. I am not going to take this type of treatment from person like you. The way you throw my age in my face and act like I don't know anything. Thanks for the book recommendations though. I way not know as much as member would but I know enough to become at least an Entered Apprentice.
I think am going to leave the forum. It's not really working out as I thought it would and I still had a couple of questions. So I want to apologize to any one I have offended.
I didn't know that Freemasons treated people who were interested like this. Maybe it's the fact that am young and a girl. I also want to thank everyone who tryed to help me. Especially bill and Cora. So thank you! Goodbye!

I would like to express my deep appreciation to every Freemason who participated in this thread. The amount of patience and caring was remarkable and, in most quarters I think, appreciated. Bro. Arch, I was especially impressed that you quoted "We Three". That is a most excellent suggestion for anyone considering Co-Masonry. It was gallant of you to do that. This is a wonderful group here. I don't like this board but I very much appreciate the forum and all who visit here. Carry on
