Have I missed a thread?
It’s Fat Tuesday, people!
Happy Mardi Gras!
Tomorrow I have to give up something. Still gotta figure that part out.
Sobriety?
Deodorant?
Pants?
+1 err -2? ummm how about ‘I agree heartily!’
As a home brewer and avid beer lover, I almost always give up alcohol for lent. It helps the waistline and lets me and the world around me know that I am not addicted.
I’m giving up water for lent.
Neither a borrower nor a lenter be…that’s me.
I’m going to not go to home depot for 40 days.
Gonna take one for the team and not have any BMC for 40 days. Sucks.
There’s always Lowes and Menards. 8)
I haven’t really decided what to try this year. Lent isn’t technically about “giving stuff up”. It’s really about trying to make a change. Maybe I should try to not be a grump old guy. >:( :
;D

We had homemade gumbo for Fat Tuesday and then a couple Southern Comforts on the rocks. I’m giving up southern comfort for lent.
+1. I made some killer red beans and rice with Andouille sausage. Love the food down there.
- a bazillion. My one and only trip to NOLA was the spring before Katrina. I always meant to get back down there. Food was just incredible. Jonesing for some blackened redfish right about now.
We try to go to NOLA at least once, sometimes twice a year. It’s an easy flight from Tampa that gets in before 9am on a Friday so we can have a long weekend of eating and drinking then fly back Sunday afternoon.
It’s a +1 if you’re doing it right.
