I gave up booze. So far, so good. I had a glass of wine at a work dinner b/c I didn't want to get into it with my colleagues. couple of times after work I really could have really used a drink, but did not. I think I can safely say that I am not an alcoholic, yet. Unfortunately, I am just as tired and irritable as usual. Maybe I have a gluten intolerance. :lol:

Not having it in my pocket makes me feel great. Hopefully I can keep it that way for the next 300 years.

It's a Good Friday when I can afford meat. I think I'll be hitting up Cemitas Puebla for lunch. Cuan grande es Dios!

Lent is awesome!

It will be glorious.

Ah shit, that was my New Years resolution...well, it can be my Lent thing too.


Yeah, you weren't looking for confrontation when you attacked the free throw shooting of conns' imaginary kid, were you?

Don't do the lent thing. I do give up for beer during tax season. I will be six weeks sober this Sunday. Though I will be an absolute shit show for March Madness. That's when I end my annual sober streak.

Comments made in jest aren't intended to create confrontation. Those types of comments have actually been given a term in the English language "jokes."


You mean like the one I was making? You confrontational little prick.

Each year I selflessly give up giving things up for lent. It can be tough, but some how I persevere.

Sure. I'm not well versed in the comedic stylings of decades ago, sorry.


NEW IMPROVED IMU! Now with less confrontation and more humor.

Or is that less humor and more confrontation? :lol:

Gave up all snacks,both afternoon and nighttime. Take the money I save and put it in envelope on Easter. I am doing real good.Only time I am tempted is watching Hawks games.
I also am giving up booze and that is going well.I do see it being put to the test on St Patty's day weekend.

No meat since Lent began. It's easier than I thought it would be. Wendy's has the best Fish Filet of any fast food restaurants. It's a shame they don't offer it year round.

I gave up listening to Mully and Hanley. It's working out great since I never listen to them anyway. You don't think God will have the last laugh on that, do you?

Usually I give up paying income tax, but that only works in certain years when Easter falls after April 15.

Maybe sometime I should give up sarcasm. But what if after Lent is over I don't remember how to speak or write anymore?
