OK, so summer is coming up and I'm ready for a change. I'm one of the "computer people" who usually stay inside all day and work/play on the computer and because of this I do not have a tan at all. It's time for a change....

What's a good way to get a tan for the Summertime? I was thinking of taking a 1/2 - 1 hour walk a few times a week outside. Since I live in Florida the sun is shining a lot so I figured I could get a tan that way, but how long would it take using this process? Tanning beds I always thought were weird and also paying for the "sun" doesn't make sense to me. :)

1. get about 4-5 really big sunlamps
2. buy some goats
3. turn the goats loose in the house
4. open the front door and let the goats out
5. chase the goats around outside
6. get tan
7. sell the sunlamps

Maybe you could move your computer near the window? You'll sacrifice screen glare for a tan!

just get a really old comp monitor that throws off a ton of radiation and sit in front of it for 8 hours a day. How about you get a job where you can work outside?

Maybe go for an introductory golf lesson?

The game is addictive, and you spend a great deal of time outside. It's not all that strenuous... perfect for a computer guy like yourself. :)

Take a day or two once in a while and go fishing; that should do the trick :) . Seriously - I spent last Sunday out on the water w/my girlfriend, and I'm just about good for the summer. Of course, I had a good base tan from last year to work with, so that probably helped. Just remember: everything in moderation, especially if you are pale or just burn more than tan(like my girlfriend - beautiful skin, but she's pale by nature; her skin just burns, and she can't seem to get a tan no matter how hard she tries)...you don't want to end up stuck inside because you're too red & sore to move from the sunburn :p

I've worked two weekends already for some friends of my parents, helping them remodel their house and add a garage. That kind of stuff will get a person a tan quite quickly, and makes for good exercise for computer-chair potatoes like myself. :confused:

I was like that last summer but its gonna end. First off I got a job outside, its not as good as my other job but atleast I am outside doing something active. I got a used set of gold clubs and will be going with my friend. I swim almost everyday and I ride my motorcycle. I wanna keep active and not waste on day of summer.

become nocturnal, sleep outside naked during the day.

computer at night when there is no sun... tanning in the day when you are asleep outside.
