Tammy The Tanning Extraordinaire

Yes I was quite flighty as a youngster. This story takes place again in the 80's. Ahh the memories. Well tanning was new and quite big. I found myself a tanning machine that basically looked like a spot light of sorts, at a garage sale for 50 bucks. Great deal!

I took it home, undressed and sat in front of this thing, and sat and sat. I kept checking myself and I just was not tanning. after two hours I put my face right up against it for a good half hour. Still no tan. I finally gave up and went to nap. I was awaken from my nap in excruciating pain. I could not open my eyes. Something was terribly wrong. I called for my friend who ran into my room and said "Umm. We need to get you to the emergency room. You are redder then a tomato and your eyes look like those of a frog!"

After spending two days in the hospital where they had to surgically cut my jeans off of my because they were sticking to my skin and the second degree burns, I realized tanning is not my thing!
