Not a damn thing - just not religious at all - baptized Catholic, baptized Protestant, studied comparative religions and believe in the golden rule and that's about it.

Men.. I'm giving up men...

not catholic dont gotta give up nothin - nananananana

msde, I'm not Catholic either, but we always gave stuff up for Lent.

I'm giving up chocolate this year. This is going to be very hard. I eat chocolate every day.

Good luck, medicgrl!

Sex, I'm giving up sex.

I'm giving up Candy and that is a HUGE sacrifice for me.

*running to candy jar right now before lent starts*

Julie, you're giving up CANDY???

Oh man. It's going to be miserable around here, between me and Julie!

And eyeball, you can't give up what you're not doing! That's a rule! Uhhh, unless of course, you're doing it! Are you doing it, eyeball?

According to soon, that's like saying I'm giving up liver and onions!

Not a thing. I'm with Lynne (except only baptized Catholic.) Agnostic now, but if I were really pushed, I'd have to say atheist. I realize this might make me the Devil. But hey, we're family, right?
Sacrifice does have its place however.

Ok drinking my last soda. 55 more mins. Said (typed) my last F-word. Ok think I am set. ......lol

Medi - there is one school of thought that allows you to drink Cokes and tell everyone to fuck off on Sundays only.

I don't think I've ever given up anything successfully for Lent, so I don't need more failure now.... I went to one sermon once as a kid where he gave the suggestion of adding something GOOD instead of giving up something bad. That seemed like creative thinking! However, I never managed to do that either.... At least I remember his sermon!

I find Lent a perfect time to give up some food indulgence at the start of Spring in time for bikini season....not that I would wear a bikini...or be seen in a bikini...lol

so... chocolate is always a good one...ya... or even coffee!.. cleanse the bod for 40 days....yikes...is it really that long?

My son decided to give up television and informed me that I need to support him. Blah, he is too smart for his own good. *cry*

Someone hold me PLEASE! So I guess I am giving it up too. Not that I want to. *cry* I need my Battlestar Galactica and American Idol.


I am going to start to work out more. I have been too sick and feeling kind of frumpy these days.

Nova- Too much temptation to continue on to Monday if I do it on Sunday. So I just observe all the way through.

Sweet- Sorry about your TV. :-( I very seldom watch TV although I do love the United States of Tara on Showtime. So that one would be way to easy for me. Sorry you have been sick but I hope you are feeling better now.

Puple- I like the idea of adding something good. We could add happy thoughts to our day through Lent. That would be easy. Just one happy thought a day!

CRose- I gave up chocolate and sweets last year. Very seldom eat them now. I kind of lost the taste for chocolate after that.

Everyone that is observing Lent, good luck to you

Does giving up a worthless fucktard count? If so, got that covered!

Actually, I'm Catholic and I don't give up anything as much as I try to do something more--pray, go to the gym, do something good for people, be more patient with my students.
