Being a good Catholic, I understand the true meaning of Easter. However, it is really hard to ignore the fact that it is also the end of Lent. I have had peanut butter withdrawl for 30 something days. I wouldn't care if the wife made a peanut butter ham. Just curious what the rest of you gave up for lent?

    Three blondes died and went to heaven. Upon reaching the pearly gates, St. Peter said to them, "If you can tell me what Easter is , you will be granted entrance."The first blonde steps up and said,"That's easy. Easter is the holiday that all the kids get dressed up and go around house to house and say trick-or-treat."Shaking his head , St. Peter says,"I'm sorry but that's wrong, and I can't let you in."The second blonde steps up and says,"I knew that was wrong. Easter is the holiday everybody celebrates by putting up a tree and decorations, and getting together with family."Again shaking his head, St. Peter says,"I'm sorry but that's wrong, and I can't let you in,"The third blonde comes up and says,"You guys were way off. Easter is the Christian holiday when everbody observes the crucifiction, the death, and the placement of Christ in a tomb."With a half smile on his face, St. Peter says,"That's pretty close, but you're still missing one thing."The blode says,"Oh yeah. And, three days later when He's resurrected, if He sees His shadow it means six more weeks of winter."Posted by a Catholic who heard it from a priest.

    I have a lady friend who is so allergic to peanuts that she doesn't even know what peanut butter tastes like. What a cryin' shame....

    Saxon, glad to know there's someone else who knows what's going on. The thing is some christians know this and say it doesn't matter. But the bible says not to have anything to do with pagan worship and false gods.

    Well, Saxon, I think you blew it too. You forgot to mention that whole virgin birth thing that was required of prophets in that part of the world at that time.I gave up religion for Lent. Years ago. All the peanut butter I want!
