For those of you who partake in Lent. What you plan on giving up? I plan on giving up using my favorite word that begins with 'F'. That's right no more of me saying "froo froo". I'm focking kidding.

Didn't peg you for a big kale fan. Think you'll have a tough time giving it up?

I am going to do without red meat. Also, like you, will do my best to do no swearing. Also, when the opportunity presents itself, to do a good deed for a stranger when possible.

I just said one word. I have a stressful job. I need my full vocabulary just will say fiddle sticks.

without inferring that i practice my denomination of Protestantism as i should on any other occasion, lent is not a requirement but is often given some perfunctory observance. maybe if someone comes up with something interesting to give up i will try too.

I'm Protestant. Born and raised Baptist.

I'm giving up my New Years resolution.

I resolved not to have one

Zero complaining whatsoever, not that hard to do.

I'm giving up Mexican food. When I tell my wife she will probably assassinate me.

Soda. Gets tough sometimes.

It will be a long hard pull. I mean, what other garnish can I use on my plate now?

I thought about giving up healthy eating overall, but that was too much.

And, yes, I'm Catholic.

My wife asked me last night what I was giving up. I told her I was giving up freebasing cocaine.

I said this because we never really did the whole giving up stuff for Lent when I was growing up so I still don't. She knows this yet feels compelled to ask me every single year.

I had someone at Mass last Sunday ask me what I was giving up for lent. I said bungee jumping. He said good and started to walk off, then turned and said I was really sacrificing this year.

I don't practice Lent as a Southern Baptist but I respect anyone who does. I have fasted from time-to-time to observe a voluntary church prayer focus. My wife and daughter went on a missions trip to Nicaragua this past summer and it is just unreal how many in the world live compared to us. Makes me appreciate all the more this great country.

I'm giving up Lent for Lent. No seriously, I'm giving up Lent and will now give instead...instead of Lending. Get it. Oh well.

I may even give up the Spin Room. Any takers to join me?

Na. I'll quit saying f*ck.

Presbyterians just have to feel guilty about not practicing lent. We dont actually have do lent.
