On both ...Claire, Couldn't agree with you more! On both points! First one...drives me nuts when I see that too! I live in NV where smoking is still legal pretty much everywhere. I guess they have restricted most restaurants now, but if you eat at a restaurant in a casino, you smell the smoke. But anyway, lots of smokers here where I live and I see it all the time in the small town I live in. ALL the windows rolled up with the drivers window literally opened about a 1/2 an inch or LESS smoking w/ kids in the back. Hate seeing that!<br /><br />Then on the second subject..I'm a former tanner myself. I was in college, so this was back in the early 1990s and I was a little obsessed with getting as tan as I could. I'd only tan in the summer b/c I never had time to get the tan naturally and I lived in a city where 100 degrees was the average temp. in the summer. So it was shorts and tank tops all summer long. In the early 90s tan was in and I'm not even sure if the fake tan sprays and creams were even really available yet. SO anyway, there's my confession on the tanning bit. BUT also, I was young (19 or 20) didn't have a clue about sun damage and not even sure if it was publicized like it is now. Now, in today's world w/ all the info out there, I'd never even dream of tanning in a tanning bed or out in the sun. I'm deathly white now and look pretty gross, but could care less. I can't use the tanning creams or sprays b/c I have some sort of allergic reaction to it them. But I'm fine with it! I'm lucky that I'm 38 and have very few wrinkles and people think I'm 5-10 years younger than I really am. I can't believe what I did to my skin in the past and I'd never do it again! <br /><br />What gets me is: why is ANYONE even tanning in February?? Isn't it winter in most parts of the county? Even if it's not, why would someone cook themselves under lamps knowing what it does to your skin?? I'm with you!<br /><br />Sorry for the long reply!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724260152507872234noreply@blogger.com
