I too am a naturist and proud of it. You said it’s unhealthy and uncomfortable. I beg to differ. Naturism has been proven to lower your blood pressure and stress level. The feeling of freedom is inexplicable. All people should at least try it before they judge it. Thank you. Avid Naturist Dear Avid, Isn’t that a bug? Well anyway, you misread my answer. The first writer was not a naturist, just a nervous vacationer. I stand by what I said. If sun is unhealthy for people in bathing suits it surely is such for people who are nude. I also think that sand just has to be uncomfortable. I assume you are all comfortable with everyone else’s hygiene so you just sit where ever you care to. I’ll keep my pants on thank you. As far as blood pressure is concerned, I’ll bet the guy with the binoculars is having problems. Just call me natural Al Dear Boomer Al, After church last Sunday in our social hall I noticed a lady yelling at then spanking her 3-4 year old child who was crying and screaming while she spoke to other people. I noticed the child was wearing a heavy coat with the hood on and I went over to suggest that the child was probably hot. The lady blew up at me and told me to mind my own business. I was very surprised by her reaction. Did I do the right thing? Hurt Dear Hurt, Referring to this woman as a lady is going some. Children can be very exasperating at times and it takes patience and maturity to deal with it. Public spankings should be avoided. They are damaging to the child’s self esteem as public humiliation would be to anyone. The child was probably warm and perhaps hungry or tired or all the above and more. Mommy dearest I’m sure knew the problem but was unconcerned at the moment. The reaction you received was more for embarrassing her in front of others rather than whether you were right or not. The behavior may have been out of character for her too. You did what you felt was right. It took courage to step forward like that so stop feeling badly. Forget it. There are many bad parents in the world. The children seem to survive it most of the time. The problem is they duplicate and perpetuate it. Al Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ I see where HBO has hired Bill Maher to host a talk show designed to "keep everybody honest; to note that what public figures say, they then have to do; when they don't to point it out and mock it." Right up his alley I would say. Read his comments from September 17, 2001 ... "We have been cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in an airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." He never retracted the remarks choosing merely to explain he really meant the politicians, not the soldiers. Sure. The man will do or say anything to be provacative. Just what the families needed to hear a week after the terrible day. The new show sounds like a cross between Charlie Rose and Dennis Miller but I fear Maher is not in their league. HBO must owe someone a favor. I'd rather watch Sponge Bob any day. Gee Sponge Bob could use an eel character. Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ Q: What is the definition of poise? A: The ability to keep talking when the other guy reaches for the check. _.·´¯)Attitude Counts! (¯`·._ "I worked real hard to learn to play first base. In the beginning, I used to make one terrible play a game. Then, I got so I'd make one a week, and finally, I'd pull a real bad one maybe once a month. At the end. I was trying to keep it down to one a season." Lou Gehrig (Yankee Great) Have fun.
