They may have told me when I was young and I just may have not paid attention. I will give them that. Thanks for the information and option guys...

Kids! I remember when Lent was Lent. Believe me when I tell you it's only a shadow of it's Pius XII self.These days, I could do 80 days standing on my head

Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

In the snow?
Well, I ain't giving up my Sunday cannoli.

I agree, if you are giving something up for lent, you should commit to it full time until Easter. I gave up my cigars, and I won't be smoking until Easter.
Live each day like it's your last, one day you'll get it right.
To me, its meaning is not to make you suffer, it's to make you remove something that allows you to contemplate your relationship with your higher power.
I think a lot of people take it the other way, and then you just end up spending Lent looking forward to its end.

I'm giving up my sanity for the next 6 Fridays. Catholics around here love pizza on Fridays during lent. Hold the peperoni.

I understand the concept of giving up something for Lent, and for any person doing so if it helps them to contemplate their sin and place in this world.. I believe that it is fine thing. But my personal practice (Lutheran) I can contemplate that just fine without giving up anything. Certainly is not a bad practice though. Have a good Lent everyone. Roger.
Just another day at the office!
Sounds like a religous discussion to me.
