What did you give up?

[Broomjockey]

Please don't use us as an excuse.

I only tried giving something up for Lent once (I was raised non-denominational Christian, but am now a devout Agnostic) and I won't make that mistake again!


You see, I once decided to give up women for Lent... And it's the Lent that never ends! Now I can't find a woman to save my life!

At this point, my balls are so blue, you might think they're black!

Any attractive, single ladies on the board that'd like to help me take care of that problem?

Yeah... I didn't think so.

I was raised Baptist (Lent? Papistry!!) and am now traditional Anglican but often mistaken for Catholic.

Giving up all sweets, and meat. Pretty standard, for me. Though one time I gave up reading, and nearly went crazy!

Isn't Anglican just Catholic-lite?

I gave up Pop Tarts one year. It was the only thing I'd eat for breakfast, so finding something else to eat got old really quickly.

I have survived the no local fast food restaurants ... so far.

My joke with customers when the subject of Lent comes up is that the thing that I am giving up for Lent is giving things up!

You see, I once decided to give up women for Lent...

You poor, sick, misguided bastard. What in the hell were you thinking.

I would give up beer before I gave up women. We all know how much I love beer.
I would give up rum before I gave up women. I do likes me some rum.
Hell, I would give up all booze before I gave up women!

I would probably give up most, if not all, tv, a good amount of foods I love, porn, and even my goofy hats before I gave up women. I'm sorry, but I am not only a romantic at heart, but I am a HORNY romantic, damn it!

Jack, seriously....what on god's green earth were you thinking, man?

Bella and I have done that for years.

Grams and the nun great aunts weren't horribly amused.

You know, I had a very long post explaining myself, typed up and ready to go... then I hit the wrong button on my computer and accidentally deleted it!

Fuck it, I'll type it up tomorrow... I'm tired and don't feel like having to retype it all right now.

[crazylegs]

That being said, having been sick for the last week (I hate this!), I have by default given up alcohol. And I think we all know how much I love my beer. This makes me a sad panderer.

So it would appear that a beer a day doesn't work to stop you from being ill then...?

[edible_hat]

As usual, I am going to try to stop swearing

I'm giving up swearing in English... does that count? I'll keep using the rude Polish, German, Italian and Japanese words I know though.

My grandparents on my dad's side were Catholic, and one of the family jokes is that my dad and my uncle gave up religion for Lent. Then at the end of Lent, well they weren't observing it anymore so they didn't have to be religious again. (My aunt still considers herself Catholic but doesn't go to church, she does however keep a Bible and rosary beads near her bed)

I have two words for you, and they are NOT "happy birthday"!!!

Actually, this is something that appears to be going around Key West, and for whatever reason, it got me, and good. But slowly I am rebounding, and this morning am probably at 90%. Still not drinking or bicycling, but we'll see how the next few days go......

[blas]

Well it's too late now to give up drinking, smoking, sex, tanning, swearing, Days of Our Lives.....

I will say I give up Starbucks.

[Dreamstalker]

I was going to give up chocolate, but as luck would have it Wednesday is the day my local drugstore starts stocking for Easter...the display of Cadbury eggs was calling to me.

So I guess I'll do soda.

[CaroPhoenix]

I would give up rum before I gave up women. I do likes me some rum.

Awww ... Jester! I like you too!

Of course no one can give me up - I'm a Rum and a Woman!

Yeah ... I need food in my system ... I'm loopy. *wanders off to get a slice of the pizza that just arrived*

[protege]

I was raised Catholic, but I no longer follow it. Even so, my family didn't really do the "giving it up" for Lent. We also didn't believe in not eating meat on Fridays either. Mainly because I don't like fish
