Lent. See you on Easter.

[JVS]

1. I gave up DU for Lent once.

A rough 40 days I tell you.

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Try it again. You might need to go for 180 days, though.

:hide:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Hell, I can do 180 days in my sleep.

Actually, I couldn't. I once tried to give up the Lounge voluntarily under no religious obligations and it lasted less than a month.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Excellent. Now I can talk about you behind your back for 40 days.

:thumbsup:

Take care of yourself, JVS. See you, soon.

:hug:

[CreekDog]

4. Happy Lent

:wtf:

or whatever the appropriate greeting is for that. :eyes:

:pals:

[JVS]

5. Yeah, I think I'll also try to start going to church for lent.

I live a 40 minute walk from the parish and its been so much of a hassle that I only went once. Sunday morning is no time for a walk across the city.

[kwassa]

6. Hey, the traffic would be light!

Not sucking too much car exhaust on your walk.

[Critters2]

11. JVS doesn't go to church?!!

Wow. I'm feelin' some cognitive dissonance. I need to sit down. :crazy:

I think you should do some penance during Lent. Maybe read some Schleiermacher.


Have a good Lent! See you after Easter! :hi:

[JVS]

16. walk a hilly 2.5 km on the other side of a big town on sunday morning?

I don't know. I think that time might be better spent in meditative slumber.

[tigereye]

7. I was going to say it's not Lent yet, but where you are, it probably is...

I can't remember the last time I gave something up for Lent. Probably about 30 years ago when I was still a practicing Catholic! :rofl:

[JVS]

8. Not quite yet, but I'm still around for a bit to respond to people

[tigereye]

10. bon ton roulez for the time that is left!

:hi: See ya when! How are things going, anyway?

[Swede]

9. See you later JVS.

I'm impressed. I really am.

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Why not give up lent for lent?

[SteppingRazor]

13. Yeah, I've done that the last 20 lents in a row! n/t

[Critters2]

14. I've often said that's what Reformed Protestants should do.

In this, as in so many things, no one listens.

[JVS]

17. Because that's not in keeping with the true spirit of Lent

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. If you complete the implied word with the root "lent", you get "lenticular".

Definitions of lenticular on the Web:

biconvex: convex on both sides; shaped like a lentil

Obviously, you need only give up lentils for lent.

[Dr. Strange]

15. Aw man.

:hi:
