I give up cigs every Lent. :lol Sometimes I've quit for over a year...sometimes only several months. But this time it's for good! I'm moving into my new home in a couple weeks and I'm seeing this as a fresh start. Plus with a mortgage I won't be able to afford cigs anymore. :lol

Well, same here come June. Won't have any $$$ for them either :lol
 
Holy Crap, 2 cans of Mtn Dew a day, you should check your breasts, it's going to give you cancer :lol:lol:lol

If you want to be technical, if you're a strict Catholic, you aren't supposed to eat meat on Friday EVER, not just during lent. I think I'm going to give up giving things up for lent this year.
 
One of the funniest conversations I ever had, I was in NYNY in Vegas and was buying a Dew from a cute chick and she was like "you know what I heard about Dew" and I'm like, "what" and she didn't want to tell me, so I'm like "come on, I can handle it"...so she says, "I heard it makes it hard to get it up" so I'm like, "not that it matters, I'm married."

Wife was standing next to me and was not pleased.

I thought no meat on Fridays was a rule during lent. That was how my Mom acted. She would always say it was ok if I ate meat, but you knew she didn't really mean it.:lol Hell, my Grandma won't even eat meat on regular Fridays and I am pretty sure old people are exempt from all lent rules.

That was the rule, no Fridays during Lent but when Vatacan II (Electric Bugaloo) came around they cited 1 Timothy 4:1-5 as the reason why that would be thrown out. Old school Catholics or those who didn't know still abstain from meat on Fridays and Holy days including today, Easter, etc. Also kids under the age of 14 were automatically excempt back then because they hadn't gone through Confirmation.


I have never been to confession. Never. I used to go to the reconciliation masses where they absolved everybody at once.:lol:lol:lol

I've been to confession a few times, the worst was going through Confirmation when you had to confess face to face and not behind the Vestibule....man they had us so freaked out we had to confess everything before going through it so it was quite humorous hearing the different boys confess as I believe one of my friends termed it "using myself in unholy ways". :lol

When my cousin went to confession for the first time, his sister made him a list so he wouldn't forget anything :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl
 
I can't do Lent. I'm not wired that way. I tried giving up trival things like ice cream and then the next thing you know I'm passing Baskin Robbins acting like a Sailor on shore leave in the Red Light District.

I figure if I get to the afterlife after leading a good life free of malice and St. Peter tells me because I had a Whopper on February 27th 2009 I can't get in the reality is I probably wouldn't have survived in there anyway.
 
I guess I could try to give up soda, but it's honestly like my beer. :lol I haven't eaten chocolate in over 6 years though, but that's only cause I had to give it up cause of a health problem. :monkey2
 
I don't know if you are aware but Gaterade, Ice Tea, and beer are just as bad. They are just under different guises. Pseudo Healthy I suppose but Gaterade and Ice Tea are both loaded with sugar- almost to the point that you might as well drink a soda. Stick to water and cut beer to a minimum and then you will be on a better track.

Tea is good for you. One beer a day is also good for you. Gaterade should only be used by athletes who sweat alot.

If you drink sweet tea, but don't drink alot of it or drink it with Splenda or make your own and use Stevia. But tea is very good for you.

There are some drinks that can do that, but I don't think it's Mountain Dew.

Remember the drink Surge? That was one of them, I miss that soda, it was really good but it didn't catch on and went out of business.
