Today is Fat Tuesday which means tomorrow is the start of Lent. Is anyone giving up anything? If so, what?


I will give up buying anything Hello Kitty stuff for a week and I won't wear any Hello Kitty ears until Lent is over.

I haven't posted in so long, but this thread caught my eye.

Giving up something is difficult and seeing how Lent begins tomorrow I should give this a try. The one thing I should give up probably shouldn't be posted on this website. However, I'm going to go with giving up wasting money on unnecessary things. Like the cute pillow and doll I saw the other day. Or that expansion deck for a card game. I need to be more frugal or else I can't afford rent. :/

One of the few things I love about Sweden is how everyone celebrates Fat Tuesday, but nobody has even heard of lent.

DOOM!

No, but it is good your adhering to a belief. My family is catholic, but I have not taken up any religion because none of it feels right to me at least at this point in time.

No, I'm not giving up anything. I don't know what I would give up if I did either lol.

If possible, I will give up smoking and using the Internet for hours on end until Lent is over. Personally, I don't think I'll be able to do any of them, but I'll try my hardest!

Never heard of fat tuesday until today, and I don't follow lent.

Though isn't lent meant to be when you give up almost all food and/or drink, not trivial stuff like "Hello Kitty" and "Money"?

Now days the church doesn't expect you to stop eating. You give up eating meat on Fridays and you are supposed to give up something else that is important to you. Hello Kitty is not trivial to me. If you knew me you would understand.

I can get the idea. Haven't been round here in a while, but I recall a member who was very attached to the colour pink. Anything like that, by any chance?

I've never followed the 'give up something importar for x period of time' thing, and I always forget about the no eating meat on fridays.

This year isn't going to be the exception.

I gave up 1600 Microsoft points today (in exchange for a name change and a chess game... =p) .
