[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 565282, member: 1991"] Parker, if that's single malt you're enjoying husband will join you. His guilty pleasure (although there's really no guilt in it) is miniature live steam trains. Look up Integrated Listening Systems (ILS).org.au. My guilty pleasure - summer only, I love to head for the beach with a book (either a novel, or a puzzle book) and my swimsuit. I lie on the sand - no towel. I figure I'm going to rinse off in the ocean anyway. No sunscreen, just let the warm sand soak away the joint pains and the sun paint my hide. No sunscreen. If I do it right, I don't burn but I tan safely. And to the Cancer Council and any other suntan police - you CAN tan safely, the skin cancer risk is caused by anything that increases skin replication, like sun BURN. Careful tanning does not do it. Besides, growing up with no sunscreens available when I was a kid and families going to the beach all day every day in summer, regardless of the third degree sunburn - the damage is well and truly done. And lack of Vitamin D (deficiency is in epidemic proportions in Australia, despite our sunny climate - ridiculous!) is now known to cause breast cancer. And I don't want another breast tumour. So there it is - I'm constantly feeling like I have to defend myself for enjoying lying in the sun. So yes, it is a guilty pleasure. Although I don't think it should be. Marg [/QUOTE]
