    Being Fat Tuesday, today's my last day of fast food and fried food. What are you giving up?

    Nothing. I'm not Catholic.
    And if Inky really wanted a challenge he should give up the Steelers.

    It wouldn't be difficult to give up the Steelers between Ash Wednesday and Easter because nothing is happening. If the NFL Draft fell during Lent, I could see it being a little challenging.

    And I'm not Catholic either.

    Lent started for me yesterday.

    The Byzantine Catholic rite always starts on Monday. I'm well on my way to not giving a shit anymore, so I doubt I'll give up anything.

    I usually give up carbonated beverages (the $1 tea at McDonalds comes in handy) -- and after the 40 days, I lose about ten pounds.

    I had pretty much given up soda from September 1 until December. In December, I slipped a little. I'm going to give it up again. I'll not be eating meat on Friday's. I'll probably give up something else, too. I know what I want to give up but if I gave up wedding planning, nothing would get done. :D
