Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Tanning and Cancer

We have posted in the past about the role of natural Vit D - and the role of Vit D supplement, in cancer prevention.

Here's a piece at Pajamas on the subject. The take-home message is, I believe, get tan but not burned.

It's good news, because those of us who are pasty-white Anglos look better with some healthy color.

As far as I know- this one's an angel. Literally. Saw that on Theo's about a year ago. Too bad- she's a poster child for cloning.

Phil,I think you are mistaken this is Dr. Joy. I visit Theo every day and I can't ever recall seeing this bimbo, I mean angel, and besides we are talking about vit D.

Why Dr. Joy you look like you have pretty good color in that picture. You look great in that bathing suit too!! As for me I'm a take cover type of guy. I never take my shirt off, even at the beach. Laying around in the hot sand tryig to get a tan is not my idea of fun. I do enjoy watching other people do it. However, there are many people who should not under any circumstance be caught wearing the type of suit you have on in the picture. Some people have lost all sense of modesty, including men who where speedo bathing suits. I don't care how much vit D they take. PS Any time you want to talk about adult children taking care of their parents you let me know. My best to you ! Nice post.

ha ha ha.

Jappy, I like looking at slugs in Speedos. What's wrong with that? Have you no taste for the avant garde?

:)
