Drink up! It's coming!!

JohnT's Lent posts guilted me into giving up alcohol last year.

And frankly, it's not such a bad idea to 'take a break'. So I'm doing it again this year; but man, it has come up fast! Its just a little over a week away. So if you're in this year, drink up! "The End" is near. :dg

I'm giving up sacrifice for lent.

ATTA Boy! As usual, I will be on the wagon for lent.

Common folks! who else is willing to give this a try??

Give it up from ash Wednesday (the day after Mardi Gras) until Easter??

I would give it a try but I'm hoping to be blending around that time. Can't blend if I can't sample...

You can still blend if you use the sip, swirl, spit technique.

BB, I started a new thread on this. I hope you don't mind!

Tsk, Greg!

I plan to sacrifice several bottles of wine on the altar of my taste buds for Lent. Situation normal. But that just feels so wrong. I am riven with guilt. I know! I promise to raise my glass and say "Thanks!" after each refill. Ahhhh - I feel so pure now.

Now here's a priest with a sense of humor!

Yet another reason why I'm not Catholic (no slight meant to those who are... I married one). I'll be happy to take up the slack caused by those Poor Souls who give up booze and other pleasures for this or any other holiday. I'm available for Yom Kippur, as well. Have glass, will travel.
