Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Maybe I should try tanning. I have a lot of the natural lights around the house, but it's just not the same without the summer smells - fresh mowed grass, the cool of an air conditioner, watermelon, fresh veggies, I could go on and on! trish RE: ( ) Living in Texas Hey - anything below about 65 and I'm in the house.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I respectfully disagree about encouraging tanning in a tanning bed. It causes skin cancer and prematurely ages you.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I live in Texas but still love to doze in a tanning bed once or twice a week. I am a nurse and don’t think this small amount of tanning is detrimental. I was an OR director when I worked and one of the plastic surgeons also told me he did not think tanning for 15 minutes twice a week would damage my skin. Sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and skin damage, e.g., premature aging, but that is when you do it to the extreme – daily or even 4-5 times a week or if you go to the tanning bed once or twice a week plus spend an excessive amount of time in the sun.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I work for a national voluntary organization focused on cancer and I've heard the opposite. No amount of exposure to tanning beds is safe. Sounds like you're not taking it to the extreme, which is good, but it's kind of like smoking a handful of cigarettes every day. Won't be as dangerous as smoking a pack but not good for you nonetheless. My friendly opinion ... ( ) Living in Texas I would love a few days of snow. I hate the summer heat and humidity.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Honestly Trisha its worth the try. Also Dig out that bbq! Yes.. You are right foods etc are an issue In the whole body feel of summertime. My fav... Grilled pineapple! Also you can get some great frozen fruit that work fantastic as a smoothie starter! Paint your nails fluorescent orange.. Seriously that's what I do.. Then off to the tanning salon. Your body is warm all over.. And you just feel wonderful! If you have never tanned before.. Ask them what minutes they would suggest and take their advice. But ENJOY! It keeps me from becoming an alcoholic here ROFLOL -- RE: ( ) Living in Texas Hey - anything below about 65 and I'm in the house.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks Christie and Chris! I'm fortunate to work for a wonderful organization. I spent about 8 years of my career with them specifically working in a tobacco cessation program that I still have ties to in my new position. Quitting smoking is HARD, but more than a million people do it every year. I say that to give hope to anyone reading this who's currently smoking. On average, it takes between 3-5 SERIOUS quit attempts before a person quits. People are often surprised to hear that statistic, but it's also another source of hope. Sorry to hear about the cancer in both of your families and - so proud to see you are an ex-smoker! Means you'll be around for your children much longer. Take care!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 That is great work you do. My father died of lung cancer and so did several members of my family who were extreme smokers.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 That is really good. Yes I agree that smoking is really hard to quit. My mom has been trying to quit a lot of times. My dad didn't stop until he couldn't go outside to smoke anymore. My aunt also kept smoking. I thankfully never really smoked. I did try it and I didn't like it. So I never did it again, and don't plan on it. I am happy that you are working for that organization. That's really good of you.
