When I was a younger (Pentecostal) kid in Catholic grade school, I would give up something meaningful, like cookies, chocolate or packaged pastries.
Then in high school, it wasn't as cool to put as much effort into it; but Catholic peer pressure runs deep, so we usually gave up something inconsequential. I always "gave up" smoking. Entirely meaningless, as I was a non-smoker.

I don't really practice "Lenten fasting" anymore. My next door neighbour, however, still gives up beer and alcohol every year. Given that he is a regular drinker, I have always admired this true sacrifice.

How about you @trr1, are you giving anything up?

This morning plows decided not to work until everyone was already on the roads. As you may know (and if you don't, you'll need to know this for the test), I have about a 2 minute drive to campus, including stopping for crosswalks, etc. At the bottom of the hill that I live on, it kind of dips and then goes back up when turning onto the intersecting road. I got stuck in the 5ish inches of snow we got last night, so I backed up the hill a little bit to get a running start. Well, by the time I was heading down the hill, a car appeared out of nowhere. Luckily I wasn't going fast, so I could stop. Then a car came behind me, and I put the car in reverse in hopes that the car behind me would back up too. They did, and I was able to get onto the road after about 30-45 seconds of trying to use that momentum. I was stuck at that intersection for about 4 or 5 minutes. Luckily it's not a highly traveled road!

The moral of the story: skip school.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Probably one of the worst days of my life as a mother. I just had to have my youngest son removed from my house by the police.
Now I think I will lock myself in my room and cry for a while.

Each year I say I'm going to give up something like chocolate, and I always cave after about a week. I had a better idea when I was a kid: I'd tell my mother that I was going to give up brussel sprouts and lima beans for Lent, and I was going to stick with it. She said it didn't count because I hated both of those veggies . . .
