LMAO !! I know for a fact I'm gonna try it. However I will be buying the cheap coke. If I use the "coca cola" brand which my hubby drinks he will go insane. He HAS to have his coke let me tell ya. I'm not a big soda fan but surely I will dump it on my body.

I have never heard of that before. When I was young, I used baby oil, baby oil and iodine, crisco oil and just fried. Now that I'm older, I don't even try to tan. I don't want all those wrinkles.

We have a greeter at our Wal Mart in town that is tan all year and she looks horrible. I don't know how old she is, but she has so many wrinkles on her face and neck. Be careful when you do this ladies, not only is there wrinkles, but skin cancer.

Don't ya just hate it when someone comes and rains on your parade??? Sorry!

Janet.. I remember those days lol I used the baby oil. But really was never a fan of the sun. I agree ladies be careful, besides the leather wrinkly skin , you have to worry about skin cancer, please protect yourselves.

If there is someone who should truly stay out of the sun, I realize it is me.

My Mom is covered in skin cancer, going every 3 months to have spots cut out of her. She has scars, large indentions, and abnormalities on the surface of her skin now due to all the removal.

My oldest brother just found out recently he too has skin cancer. He is 5 years older than myself.

Both of them have spent years in the sun. My Mom who always loved basking in the sun for many years is now paying the price. My brother, who spent many many years in the special forces spending much of his time out in the sun also is paying the price.

I realize everytime I lay on that river, enjoying the sun, the tan, and all the feelings I receive from that sun's warmth, I too possibly will pay that price.

Actually I did start using sunscreen last year and don't ever tan my face anymore. Unfortunately I cannot seem to stear clear of tanning the rest of my body.

I will have to try this coke just to see if it works (on my legs/arms). Then *laughing* change over to sunscreen.

In the warmer months I spend hours upon hours outside, I love it. It's my therapy. But I do honestly think about the affects the sun has and try to be responsible sometimes.

Well heck...Look at my avator. I have my hat on sheilding my face from the sun. See, I do try. LOL
