Oh, my wife and I gave up on that quite a while ago. Used to collect the lent from my belly button every night but seemed pointless after a while. Actually not sure now what to do with all that we have collected.

The first couple of years I gave up meat and it really tested my will power and gave me a better feeling of what it must feel like to sacrifice. Even if it is just a food group. However over the years I have found that scaling back on my vices and increasing my prayer has giving me a closer feeling to God, I just wish I was strong enough to do it all year through....I will keep trying

What are you giving up for Lent?

Thank you for reminding me, I have been so busy that I forgot to think about what I was giving up for Lent.

I am on a diet now so I guess I will just extend it through Lent.

I also already say the Rosary everyday.

I will think of something!

Cigars.

I plan to pray and meditate before as an offering.

You know you are getting old when your wife gives up sex for Lent and you don't find out about it until Good Friday.

I always give up watermelon and smoking Cuban cigars myself.
