"I have done so in writing of such on it?"

Do you at least know who gave it.  We got two packages, heh heh I said packages heh heh, last xmas that had no evidence of from whom they were given.

Yeah, there was a handwritten note inside.  Not sure how they do that since it was definitely sent from the store.

I got a pack n play in the mail around the time of my shower and it had no packing slip or anything.  I couldn't figure out who sent it.  Then finally I found a phone number on the shipping sticker.  I looked in my phone and found that it was from flipside.

I've decided to give up fast food for Lent. I eat fast food about three times a day. It was either this or Warcraft and I think it'll be easier to kick the fast food habit, although they seem to go hand-in-hand.

Oh God! Mardi Gras is next week! I think I give up spelling for Lent. No... No that won't do. I'll give myself a twitch.

Why don't you give up not posting here? And then continue giving up not posting here after Easter.

That's a fine idea, ivan. Once again, you rock my world with overwhelmingly astute suggestions given from the sharpest of observations.

Last year in my first observance of lent I survived giving up donuts.  This year maybe I'll check out some other religion and their fast or self control challenge.

BTW, I've been hammering on this: If, as an agnostic, you have to accept the possibility that the traditional Judeo-Christian diety exists (as opposed to atheists who flatly say there is no such thing), don't you also have to accept the possibility that L. Ron Hubbard was onto something? I mean, his version of what happened thousands of years ago is no more fantastic than the one cooked up by the ancient Hebrews, eh?

Atheism: the other white meat.

I'll tell you straight up that I'm holding out for Apollo to make an appearance any day now.

In case some people forgot, I'm not actually Catholic at all. I'm doing it just as an experiment. It'll give me something of an insight on what actual Catholics go through.

I'm not limiting myself to just offshoots of Christianity either. Chinese New Year is coming up so I'm going all Vegetarian that day, as Ping Ping does and he's a staunch Buddhist. I'm also entertaining the notion of fasting during Ramadan. Just so I can see how 'the other side' lives.

I know full well this is just a control mechanism, but I'm doing it anyways SO THERE.
