Lent 2023

Whole time.

 

I gave up sodas probably 10 years ago for Lent and have not had a soda (sans alcohol) since. It's cheating since I'll have the occasional mixed drink, but it's crazy how soda last its appeal so quickly

 

Haven't decided what I am going to give up/change for Lent. My daughter this morning told me she is giving up milk for Lent... told her to try again.

 

fish fry tonight

 

I believe that was the reading on Ash Wednesday...

Matthew 6: 16
16 And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad! For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, those lookatme faggots have received their reward.

 

indeed it was

 

I always find it ironic that they read that one on a day that they give out the king of all "look at me" prizes, a day (which isn't actually a holy day of obligation) that probably draws more people than the Solemnity of the BVM, Ascension Thursday, and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception combined.

 

Sweets I guess. I'm not a big sweets person though. So no biggie. Would love to give up beer. But was reminded that I would end up drinking nothing but liquor on long drinking days. That could become problematic.

 

I'd really like to give up my phone while driving, tbqh.
It's gotten bad lately.

 

Fun fact, January 1 is only a holy day of obligation in the US (and a few other countries) because the Patroness of the US is the BVM.
Other countries don't have that as a holy day (Ireland, e.g., has St. Patrick's Day instead for their Patron Saint.)
A lot of other countries have Corpus Christi or The Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ as one instead (and therefore, they don't move those to the nearest Sunday like the US)

 

Fish is meat

Hth

 

I do like catholics more than any other brand of christian despite some of the nonsense you guys do/believe.

 

Breakfast - banana

Lunch - hummus and pretzel chips

Dinner- spaghetti (cant wait)

Giving up soda and ice tea

 

We do it with angel hair, marinara, peas and sour cream in the sauce- it works out pretty well in place of meat

 

its my wife's recipe- not sure if I got those ingredients perfect but it turns out really good

 

Knight's of Columbus Lenten Fish Fries were the jam when I was a kid.

When we didn't go to one, we'd go to Long John Silvers at the foot of the mountain or order a cheese pizza.

 

That sounds like it tastes as good as Skyline Chili.

 

hello I don't give up anything for lent but my coworker is giving up elevators. bold move and kinda random

 

what floor do you/coworker work on?

 

You need to mix some eggs in there, be a real man.

5 eggs a day crew checkin in here.
Subway Tuna the next couple of Fridays, Kroger Chipotle Salmon for dinner too. Not giving anything else up, never do.

 

Pretty sure this is how we get serial killers

 

Giving up complaining about people who aggravate me. I anticipate some stumbling, but hope it makes me think a bit more before I rail on someone and maybe choose a better way to respond.

 

Never expected you to be such a kuck beta

 

Skyline Chili is good

 

Religion or No Religion, God or No God, this is simply a horrible take

 

2nd floor. 3rd if you park under the building where a lot of people do. I guess it wouldn't be as hard if everyone you knew lived in houses and no high rises. she's 23 and surely has some friends that live in apartments > 3-4 floors.

 

for those giving up booze

how much do yall drink?

 

In English, yes. But in a lot of languages, they have seperate words. "Carne/Carnem" translates closer to flesh and definitely doesn't refer to fish. So when most of the world gives up "carne" they don't even make a distinction.

 

arabic fish are no more vegetable than english fish

 

But the rule isn't "eat more vegetables". The rule is "no comen carne en las viernes".

 

fish have flesh

hth

 

Lol at religious people

 

I kind of agree with you here, for the most part, but I've got to admit, I'm actually a little envious of them sometimes because of their ability to blindly believe/have faith in something. Then I see shit like the boycotting of the new beauty and the beast movie, because it has a gay character, and I'm like lol fuck those ignorant cocksuckers

 

Tell them you'll pray for them. Will upset them one way or another way more than railing them

 

Edgelords whew
