Sorry if I sounded like I was being nosy, your right it is "NOYB", and I didn't really want to know anything, I meant it as a joke to what angleo said. Did not mean to offend.

We have been talking about how catholics were effected by meatless Friday, and my wife had remembered it to be a venial sin which had to be confessed to a priest, and then several on the threads came on and said she must not have been aware of the church teachings on it.

My wife talked to her (still active catholic sister) in Tenn. every Tuesday morning, and although they usually avoid talking religion since her sister knows she no longer goes to their church, I asked her to simply ask what she remember about meatless Friday, and she told my wife that she had kept it faithfully until one day she went to see a family that was very poor, and all they had to give their children that day was crackers and cheese with a piece of bacon on it, and she gave her sister one, and she ate it.

The next week or so, she went to church and confession, and told the priest what she had done, and he read her such a riot act that she stopped keeping meatless Friday altogether after that. I hope that before the Catholic Church considers bringing it back, they solicit a few testimonies from their people on what it was really like.

no no. NOYB meant in humor (didn't know what level of conversation was appropriate). I was just trying to say that a couple with two kids in 11months is lacking in many things (like sleep sometimes) but the evidence would show that "romance" aint one of 'em
