What (if anything) did you give up for Lent?
Last week my wife "suggested" that I give up ice cream for Lent.
Her children, too, thought that my giving up ice cream for Lent was a good idea. Consequently, I have given up ice cream for Lent. This is how democracy works. What about y'all? (Understanding, of course, that Lent is something that only some of "y'all" observe.) |

I live on an island with only 400 people. Mostly all United Methodist and believe it or not there's one break away group down the block. I am friends with everyone here yet I do not attend either. I think I missed this Lent ritual because I went to the doctors that day.
Which is fine by me because I really really like my Klondike Bars and all of the sweet chocolaty fatty goodness.

For those unfamiliar, It is the period extending from Ash Wednesday (Yesterday) through to the Saturday immediately before Easter.
During this time period it is common to "sacrifice" something for this period. Some people give up drinking, eating ice cream or certain meats, or in Dowly's case... fapping etc.
