      Dear MPIP Community:

      A media outlet is seeking individuals for a potential interview opportunity ASAP. If you are a former tanner who used a tanning bed in your own home and would like to share your story, please email [email protected]. Thank you!

          Taking a drink from a cocktail, I almost spit up through my nose on this one.

          When I was a kid, I never could tan, always burnt.

          So, as a solution for that, when I was maybe 10 or 12 years old, I saved up my allowance and bought a infrared bulb; basically what was then used as a french fry warmer and I put it over my face ten minutes at a time over and over to try and get a tan.

          Same result, no tan, burnt.

          This does not qualify what you are asking about but I could not help to recall that french fry bulb and many days riding a tractor with my shirt off in Kansas that came along with blistering sunburns probably is why ………………..well, you know.

          Cheers,
