LOL why I'm not in a order like my uncles... Us Diocesan seminarians don't have to take a vowel of poverty! I do get crap from time to time about collecting high end watches :)

greggsiam · 20 February 2015, 12:29 AM

Buddhist, we already have no attachment, so nothing to give up

Thats what I do too. I agree that others don't see this as much of a sacrifice, its a lot for me. So much so that I load up on meat Thursday night and can't wait until Saturday morning comes.

I am, however, giving up gluttony this year as I have found that I often overindulge in too many ways.

Soly20 · 20 February 2015, 12:05 PM

I used to give up red meat for lent. However, I have given up all types of meat excluding fish/seafood for over 8 months now. I don't see myself being able to give up anything this lent otherwise I will be left with nothing to eat!

I think I should try giving up alcohol this year.

SeminarianMike · 21 February 2015, 12:50 PM

Hehe! I wanted to say something here. One shouldn't compare his penitential act to another... If it's a sacrifice to you then that's all it should be! I know someone giving up soft triple ply toilet paper... I know another who is sleeping on the floor during lent.. Ones not more a higher sacrifice then another it's the fact ur changing something in your life. I applaud all of you!

I won't give in on booze, but I guess if you have to stay dry for a month, February is the best (and SHORTEST) month to do so.

The first pic doesn't show the delicious volume of the pound of fish included in one dinner.

Coleslaw and mac&cheese are both homemade.

Call me to give me a heads-up.

(I've PM'd my cell to you previously.)

I'm usually there between 3-4 and that will allow you to avoid the majority of the rush hour.

IF you wear your Skydweller cover it with plastic, for the drool!

I'm giving up being amazing. It's hard but I will struggle through just being normal for a few weeks.

Yes and every time one that I'm not familiar with posts I shoot them a PM like I did with you.

Not ONLY that, but our TRF'rs come in from Florida (Figbo), Connecticut (MikeB), Michigan (GaugeBuilder), Ohio (Theken), etc. when we have our Pittsburgh GTGs.

Heck, even when Paul, from California was in Pittsburgh, we had a quick GTG at Fridays in Monroeville.

Me, Paul (VTCGuy) Doc (DucatiDoc)

So yes, there are others and they walk among us.

Booze is a coping mechanism...you take that away, you might as well drive in to a wall.

Seriously, there is no way I can NOT drink wine for the Lent season. So...I dont bother. If those of you are strong willed & can do it, give it a try.

Otherwise, give up chocolate.

( I dont know a lot of wine drinkers serious about chocolate..so should be easy.

).

All the best! So glad I decided to NOT include steak to give up steak...I would have failed miserably. LOL

James K · 22 February 2015, 04:34 PM

Just told my wife she should give up talking for lent......... Thank goodness the baby is laying down in between us and she has short arms.

gwozhog · 23 February 2015, 01:12 AM

I became a vegan 1 year ago. Maybe for lent i will give up being a Vegan.

Alcohol and red meat, but this year I'm also trying to do something positive instead of just sacrificing - some sort of charity or volunteer work.
