I rarely bother with sunscreen unless I plan to be on the beach all day. I never used baby oil but I did spend some time an ugly shade of orange from using a tan in a can product.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-79267092516499477592008-06-06T09:49:00.000-05:002008-06-06T09:49:00.000-05:00If I could add an audio, I would be whistling at y...If I could add an audio, I would be whistling at your tasteful swim attire:) I had never seen that Wendy's commercial before but loved it.

It would explain your tan.

I don't doubt that I'll be keeping some doctors in business very soon, as I'm starting to see the errors of my wicked tanning ways.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Thomas!

Personally, I'm too much of a traditionalist to use it. I concur with your opinion on open water, however!Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.com
