Can Catholics eat beaver during Lent?
I assume you are referring to the industrious rodent of dam-building prowess. In that case- of course not, the Beaver is a mammal and flesh of animals is considered meat- banned on fast days in Lent- Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, and all Fridays in Lent. Fish is exempted - hence the use of fish symbols on old church calendars- but meat of ground animals- somebody asked about Turtle- that:s an animal, not a fish, would be off-limits.
However, there is a tradition in some parts of Michigan where muskrat is allowed. Evidently sometime in the past the priest said it was alright, so there are places that serve it during Lent.
BUT......
The 17th century Catholic Church actually declared beavers to be a fish according to dietary restrictions, meaning they are ok to eat on both Fridays and throughout Lent. Beaver meat was a common dish by Native Americans and French settlers to America, so the decision was believed to be important to these people's behaviors. The church decisions are based more on an animal's environment than their physical characteristics

How do you bleed the breaks on a 1966 Thunderbird is there any other way than pumping the breaks?
It takes longer this way, but you can crack open the bleeder valves on all four wheels then remove the master cylinder cap and fill with break fluid, keep an eye on the bleeder valves and when they start dripping shut then off as they drip. Refill and replace the master cylinder and cap then bring the engine up to temp. Don't go anywhere yet. Test the brakes with a smooth push of the break pedal, easy does it and you may have pump them up. Now shut down the engine open the master cylinder and wait until the engine compartment cools down to ambient temp.. Then refill and replace master cylinder cap and repeat, sometimes you have to wait overnight for the air to migrate up to the master cylinder. I have had to do it this way when I had no one around to help, good luck, jja

They don't have any school on Good Friday. Schools are closed for Easter.
Not always true. Sometimes Easter occurs during term time. In the parts of France near the German border Good Friday is a holiday. Elsewhere, it can be a school day. As French law forbids any mention of religion in state-run schools, nothing special is done. Catholic schools either take the day off or hold a special Mass.

Are you anorexic if you only eat one meal a day?
One of two things can happen if you only eat one meal a day.
You'll either lose a lot of weight or your body will go into "starvation" mode and you won't lose anything because the body realizes that there's no "fuel" coming in and it will try to conserve whatever it has (fat, etc.) for energy.
Either way, it's not a good idea. It's best to eat healthy whether you need to lose weight or just sustain your body.

There is still only some mixed communities and the 'Peace- Walls' are still standing, there is still riots and there is still numerous 'bomb scares' in both communities. Some children are brought up to discrimination and name calling (eg. Taig for Catholics and Hun for Protestant), some being taught to riot and hate the Police Service.
Although there are integrated schools and mixed areas and a general want of peach for the young children. There are teenagers desperate for peace and ones that are set on achieving it. There is mixed areas in higher class areas.
