Today is National Pizza Day. Will you enjoy a great tasting pizza to celebrate? Or are you feasting because it's also Fat Tuesday - the day before Lent begins? I also just read from Gary Marsh that it's Pancake Day the day...

It's Fat Tuesday!

Jillybean1222 @jillybean1222 (6406) 9 Feb 16

Did you indulge on Fat Tuesday?

astromama @astromama (1221) • United States 22 Feb 07

I grew up Catholic, and even though I don't associate with any organized religion anymore, I have a deep sentimentality for Lent. In fact, I usually still give up certain vices during Lent, mainly because in our indulgent and...

Call From One Of My Daughters Today - Too Sweet To Not Share

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 20 Feb 07

Today was my birthday, and it was not one that I had been looking forward to. I turned 59; and in my mind, that is about the same as saying I turned 60. Now, to a lot of people that is "Just the Prime"; and I would agree. In my...

Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! I live in Louisiana, but won't be going to New Orleans to celebrate this year, though we've caught some local parades in our town. Has anyone here ever been to New Orleans, Mobile, Grand Isle, etc to...
