I'm single and not sɛҳuąƖly active. My doctor has prescribed birth control to regulate my cycle. Is that OK?"

If you want to have a stroke and be a brain dead quadro, I guess.

This is not surprising but nonetheless amazing:

Quote from: Matthew

Eating expensive food is one of the 5 forms of Gluttony: "Laute" exquisite or expensive.

http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/Extravagance-compatible-with-Catholicism

There is more than one way to be gluttonous. The most popular way is "nimis" or eating too much -- filling your face until you puke.

But there are 5 forms of gluttony, which go under the abbreviation PLANS

Praepropere - outside normal mealtimes, or grazing like a cow
Laute - expensive, luxuriously
Ardenter - eating too eagerly/fast
Nimis - eating too much
Studiose - being picky or fastidious about food, how it's prepared, etc.

It seems to me that there are a lot of people who are not only ignorant of this 5-point hit-list, they don't want to learn about it, either.

I know a man who prides himself of having eaten at all 25 of the most expensive restaurants in the whole world. This is a direct quote: "Some people eat to live, others live to eat. I live to eat."

Thank you, Matthew, for this bullet-list. I'm going to write it down on an index card and have copies printed up on business cards, so I can hand them out to friends whose salvation is at stake due to their ignorance.

Quote from: Capt McQuigg

I like Hardee's burgers a lot. I am okay with McDonald's. Most restaurants make excellent burgers.......

But my wife makes the best burger from scratch and it's crazy good when my son barbecues it on the coal smoker!

It seems to me that the only ones luckier than you, Capt. McQuigg, are your wife and son.

Quote from: PerEvangelicaDicta

Of course it had to be kobe or wagyu beef.
There are quite a few restaurants in the greater Miami area that offer these gourmet hamburgers with just about identical ingredients, for 65- 75. Such a bargain! :ready-to-eat:

A family member stayed in that area at a hotel that featured kobe steaks in their restaurant (dinner menu) for a small fortune (hundreds). He looked at the lunch menu and they offered these specialty kobe beef burgers for approx 20. For that price, he tried it to see 'what all the fuss is about'. Apparently, if you have the money, it's worth every cent.

You'd have to be pagan though, to enjoy it, don't you think?
How can a soul with a conscience truly enjoy a 250 hamburger when there are other good Catholics struggling to survive?

The idiom could improve, PerEvangelicaDicta.

Could be like this: SuUch-ah-deEal!

'When sitting at a table laden with food, remember death and judgement, for even so you will only check the passion slightly. In taking drink do not cease to bring to mind the vinegar and gall of your Lord. And you will certainly either be abstinent, or you will sigh and humble your mind.'

St. John Climacus
