Sue, The way I see it, no matter what your religion might be, praying and fasting that you did because you were forced to wouldn't be very effective, to say nothing of the fact that it infringes on a person's rights. I couldn't go for too much fasting. LOL I'm sitting here pigging out on Yarnell's butter pecan ice cream right now and it sure is yummy!

For the most part, people ignored the law, and no effort was made to enforce the legislation. ==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe from the list: Mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsubscribe ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Once upon a time I did do a Monday fast just because my doggone system is so slow. Maybe I should consider doing it again..... > LOL I'm sitting here pigging out on Yarnell's butter pecan ice cream right now and it sure is yummy! < Eh, the heck with it!! Please pass the ice cream!! ;-)) Best, SueB
