    sadly, it seems that if it is not 'cured' w/i 1 year, it is terminal.

    My mom won't be cured in this life, she has taken it way to far...

    You don't want to hear the cure my wife has in my mind for my mom.

    (I have accepted after talking to a number a Masons that for me to become one, which my dad wanted when he was alive, I have to wait for my mom no longer to be.)

    How can your mother keep you from appying to a lodge??

    The condition of getting along with family, I forget the wording, but I have no doubt she would do all in her power to keep that from happening. My dad was a Mason, and she doesn't like me doing anything that he did.

    To further the study a little bit. I own both tartan and contemporary styled self colour kilts. I am deeply encouraged to dress as much as practical in the "traditional" manner. When so attired, the family and friends really warm up to being with me. The Amerikilt, Utilikilt, do not get that much excitement from the family. The contemporary kilts are the only ones that have ever gotten the "skirt" comment. Both sons have kilts and wear them as do both of my nephews. Two grandsons wear the kilt and one does not. One greatgrandson has a kilt, and his mother puts it on him regularly, he should grow up used to it as both of my sons always had kilts in their wardrobes.

    Your defference to your mother may or may not be admirable. Regardless, after three decades in the fraternity, and some time in the "East" I am not aware of anything that would preclude you from petitioning for the degrees. There are some landmarks that have to be adhered to, but your family's approval isn't one of them. And I just realised how VERY FAR off topic I have drifted. My apologies.

    Well, last Friday I told her she could take her "fa**y crossdresser" comment and shove it up.... and then hung up on her.

    She says I dropped out of college, even though she was at my graduation.
