I'm not doing anything for Lent this year. When I was younger, I went through the "sacrifice" of giving something up. Usually soda or treats or something. In later years, I would buy something instead of giving something up, and then after the 40 days I had 40 items to donate to a food kitchen or animal shelter.

I have friends whose strict Catholic parents would make them give up candy for Lent, then hang bags of candy over the dinner table.
Their strictness did not produce particularly well-behaved kids. One of the two sisters now operates a pot farm (it's in CA and I think has always been legal, but would not have been her parents' choice of career). The brother spent a short time in prison for money laundering or something like that. More reinforcement of my belief that nature, not nurture, determines behavior.
They're nice, though! I'm friends with the two sisters and was friends with the brother before he died about 12 years ago.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Work has been busy this week!! After the news of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, there were people who were very nervous, I had to field many calls!
On top of that, there were increased calls to us about opening accounts, businesses wanting to move their funds to us.
I'm glad it's almost over, and that Fridays is here.
Is anyone doing anything for St. Patrick's Day, or the weekend? I have a birthday party to go to tomorrow afternoon, and then a St. Patrick's Day dinner on Saturday evening.
