As I said in another post, I have been thinking of giving up my cigars, not for sure yet.
What are the rest of you giving up for Lent?
I am also cutting back on my driving, but this is not due to Lent, but to the high cost of gas here, for my car around $ 3.85 a gallon now, and they say going up.

I already live like a hermit, e.g., I am still wearing my fav trousers which I bought 5 years ago. I don`t need anything so I have nothing to give up. OK, I did give up one thing. Growing my hair. I just had it cut. PS. Havana cigars? |

I, too, live a fairly austere lifestyle, so there's not much for me to give up. I try instead to do something positive to improve myself...and by that I mean improve my way of acting toward others and in my relationship with God.

I gave up Cuba cigars when I last left Poland. Can't get them here, you know.

Tufta,
Some times the truth hurts, be a man, and understand. Or are you German? Or is your wife, the boss, and she is German? Remember each story has two or more sides to it, and it could be some times, I am correct. I know some times I could be wrong. Are you ever wrong?

I am the boss And I am very often wrong, make mistakes, ramble and stray. The real problem would be inability to correct mistakes. Do you never correct your mistakes, Mike  |

I am not giving up anything, as I said.
Worse, I decided to indulge myself without any constraint.
Today, after 10 years, I bought a new shaving foam in aerosol. My old one is slowly running out, almost nothing left in the container, and its expiry date was in 2002. I like it so much, that is why I used it so rarely.
Nothing lasts for ever.

Well no cigars yet, but it is hard to do. How are the rest of you doing with your Lent, give up list?

Mike Mike, it's possible that no one is answering your question because things like fasting, etc. are best kept to oneself for better chances of success and to avoid showing-off or bragging. |

I need and want a cigar, going nuts. When is Easter? Why am I the only one giving up anything for Lent? The Nuns from my grade school would be proud of me now, and I want to keep it that way.

Mike, it's possible that no one is answering your question because things like fasting, etc. are best kept to oneself for better chances of success and to avoid showing-off or bragging. I don`t agree. Mike` bragging about cigars is OK. I was also bragging last year about giving my my addiction. Bragging helps an addict fight the bad habit. |
