My 40mm arrived fast, no regrets!!!!!! So much easier to grip. Wow, a long lay-off and assorted pounds to lose, I’m feeling a little “earthbound”, haha!! One day at a time, no??

Thanks for your replies. I went out and wrapped my hand around my 50 again. I think a 40 will be a huge improvement for me. At 49 my wrists are a little tired, lol.

This happened to me after a lifetime of horseback riding. I lost a friend to a freak horse accident, I lost both parents and had a cancer scare. I’m so nervous when I anymore that it’s not fun right now?? A dear friend told me, “Don’t let the Devil steal your joy!”. So true, I hope it blows over for you. I think maybe we are all a little more careful and smarter as we age too ; ).

I remember you!! I’m trying to start back myself, have been off for three years or probably more?? Life gets in the way, no? 🙂

Boy, did I get “outed”, LOL!! I closed the door upstairs where I have my pole and mirror. My family was here from Georgia and I mean all of them. Three uncles that are pastors! They wanted to tour our new house and my aunt decided to go in, closed door or not! Uh oh. In she went and kind of gasped. I was explaining it’s a workout program (I was sweating bullets, hahaha) while she looked at me disapprovingly. Then my other aunts and then uncles all started filing into the room and everyone was REAL quiet!!! I was explaining again that it’s a great fitness program and great core workout, yadda, yadda, but I could tell that I could stick a fork in it!! They were probably all speculating that maybe that’s how I paid for my last car, LOL! I’m in my 40’s, I felt like I was 10. I know they were dying to pile down the stairs and light up the cell phones and “tell”! It was awkward, but oh well, I can laugh about it now. I’m in a conservative neighborhood. If I had any “cajones”, I would put it downstairs in our living room. I am wasting 14′ ceilings!!!!!!!

Very fattening..hope to stay out of this one! It has praline icing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
Any way to delete the duplicate posts?
Thanks!

I have always liked the old song Cool Change by The Little River Band. I guess I was about 12 when it came out? It would stick in my head sometimes…love the message. Sometimes we all need a cool change in our lives : )

Wow..I'm going to follow your thread…I'm about four-five hours away and have family in Hotlanta. Sounds like fun if I could fit it in!

Yes, changing color with Photoshop very doable..and now with Photoshop 5 and the "content aware" improvement, very easy to just take the pole out of the photo completely (easier with more contrast between pole and background). Now that would be interesting! A brass monkey, superman or something and no pole….I guess it would look like you were flying or levitating!

Well I can vouch as a "hard head" that would not stay out of the Florida sun as a teen/young adult and I frequented tanning beds for a bit. It finally caught up with me in my late 30's and I had cancer on my eyelids (three places), later my upper lip (not a fun surgery) and then a doozy that required ten stitches near my belly botton and the stress of waiting to hear if it was melanoma. I had squamous cell carcinoma, that left untreated, can spread quickly to other parts of the body, like the lymphatic system, bloodstream, and nerve routes. Not to mention other cancers and worrying when more will pop up from my idiocy years ago.
Good for you Poler..not worth it. I am fair-skinned and have had pretty good luck with Body Drench Quick Tan Spray. Sold at salons for a lot, but Amazon.com has a 3 can pack for around $33 that will last me all summer + and keep my legs from scaring people, haha. If you look it up, someone wrote a very detailed review on how best to apply it (she must stay very dark all year round). I just use it through bikini season to not look like a ghost. It doesn't streak and I still stick to my pole just fine.
Seems to me the natural look is all in the technique. Less is more…light layers work so much better with this spray than trying to use one heavy coat. And as Chem mentioned, keep the sunscreen handy…no protection at all from a faux tan.
Good luck with it..lots of good stuff on the market to choose from.

I'll try to embed a photo again here..bear with me here. Come on down Chem!! Weather is getting just right. This is Crab Island/Destin Harbor: It's about ankle deep when the tide is right and just one big party all season. You just anchor, socialize, stand in the water and wrinkle, ha ha.

Ooops! Sorry..guess I botched the photo link somehow when I cut/pasted. Is there a way to edit forum posts?

Hmm…I may try to make this. It would be neat to meet everyone…maybe find out who is at what hotel and try to book at the same place? Sounds like fun! Hope I can get away!
