Move over anorexia, we now have Tanorexia, the need for a sun tan. This is a new one for me, as I didn't realize this was an addiction, but soon perhaps a new 12 step program will come along, I realize I am helpless when it comes to basking in the sun and yes I am a Tanorexic. This condition is obviously not made in the shade. We all know that overexposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer, but I guess it doesn't stop as there is always the tanning booth. BD
A new study conducted at a large university finds more than 25 percent of those surveyed reported symptoms of tanning dependence, including symptoms similar to alcohol and drug-addicted individuals.Interestingly, sun tanning appeared to be more closely related to tanning dependence than indoor tanning, though use of indoor tanning during warm weather also signaled tanning dependence.

"The Internet is no longer a novelty. With the PC as a household media hub, users are demanding transparent, non-arrogant, fulfilling services from Internet service providers. By doing so, they are creating a cultural shift in the way all business is being transacted, offline as well as online. Those businesses who "get it" will prosper."
